Video describing my home veggie oil filtration set up. Specifically the filtration step.
I filter used cooking oil from a local restaurant and burn it as fuel in my 2001 diesel Volkswagen Jetta TDI. And I'm about to explain and show everything I did to accomplish this.

To make biodiesel, you add Lye and Methenol in the proper amounts, heat the whole mess up to about 60C (70C will ignite the methenol) mix it for a few hours and let it settle.
But I don't use BioDiesel. I installed a kit in my car that lets me burn streight veggie oil.
If I remember correctly the "journey to forever" site says just letting the oil settle for a couple of weeks is just as effective as filtering. What do you think? Thanks for the videos!
General opinions out there are that website is not to be trusted for anything more than its political messages. These opinions can be found at the mega-forum biodiesel-dot-infopop-dot-cc.
Heh. Witty, but wrong. If the filters were made of wood product, 1 tree could make filters to process over 1M litres of oil. The energy multiplication would justify cutting down a tree. Nothing's free, but you can ceretainly "win".
Oh, and the filterbags are made of polypropelyne (PP) - the same plastic that goes into nalgyne bottles and baby bottles. Bisphenol-A and all that. PP plastic is a by-product of oil refinement. 1 barrel of crude would make enough filters to process about as much oil as 1 tree. Except 1 tree can grow back in 30 years, oil is more like 300,000,000 years. :|
