Pot of WVO Biodiesel by caffiend on flickr.com

The coffee pot we ended up using for processing a test litre of biodiesel from Waste Vegetable Oil.

Due to equipment failure on the blender that was supposed to be used for mixing up this batch, we had to improvise with a coffee pot, power drill, and wooden spoon. I think it went OK, but I'll have to wait till tomorrow to see if we managed to make fuel or just goop.

These pictures are from a friend's and my growing project to recycle locally sourced Waste Vegetable Oil into quality biodiesel.

Oil and fuel prices are reaching levels now that allow green fuels such as WVO Biodiesel to compete on price as well as all the environmental benefits of recycling fuel instead of refining oil or growing entire food crops for processing into fuel (i.e. corn ethanol).
