http://www.parleysdieselperformance.com/ The guys at Parley's Diesel Performance got together with Graydon Blair of http://www.utahbiodieselsupply.com/ for a tour of his personal bio diesel refinery. Graydon was kind enough to show us how to brew biodiesel at home on a large level.

Looks like a lot of labor. Does your $1.00 per gallon factor in your labor and equipment cost?

How many hours of labor are required for, say, 5,000 gallons using this process?

Don't throw that stuff away! If you have enough 'crusties' you could probably sell them to a manufacturer of pet food or commercial livestock or poultry feed so they could beef up the protein level of their products. I know it sounds absolutely disgusting; but I have heard that they use far worse things than that, like slaughterhouse blood and chicken manure. Watch the videos on USA meat processing by 'the mad coyboy' for more info. You would never eat jerky if knew what goes into that!

Where are you located? Here in the US, methanol is very common at race shops. It's averaging a little over $4 US per gallon in small quantities (less in large bulk purchases). Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) runs about $65 US for a 55 pound bag. At those prices, assuming your waste oil is free, the finished product will cost you a little over $1 US per gallon.

to make 5 litters of biodiesel we need 1 litter of methanol which cost about $4.00 p/litter, plus potassium hidroxide $?. So, at the end you get about 11/2 gal of biodiesel for almost $5.00. question: who said to get biodiesel at $0.70 per gal. ? please tell me where to get a cheaper methanol
