I agree, food and fuel both up. Etholol costs way more to produce than gas or diesel, but the good ol government mandated that X amount be produced to pacify the greens. Funny thing is that it produces more pollution that refining gas or diesel :notworthy:notworthy good call boys!! Now the price of corn is through the roof, as a result of all this environmental "responsibility" . Corn goes up, groceries go up. Can't refine gas or diesel as fast as demanded cause we're to busy producing a dirtier fuel, result gas and diesel go through the roof! I wonder if any of our brilliant minds in Washington ever took economics 101.

I read in a magazine that if every single cob of corn grown in the us was used solely for making ethanol it would only account for only 12%!!!! of the demand. Thats a no brainer

How many people have experience with bio-diesel? I live in the south so the cold temp. gelling problem wouldn't be an issue.
Is anybody making their own? One of our large projects has a dozen or so fast food restaurants within a 2 mile radius making the used oil available. I am thinking of setting up a 55 gal system in the conex on site, making a batch or so a week and adding it to the 1000G off-road tank we have on site. Make a couple of batches a week, 3 X 55Gal @ $3.50 per gallon = $578 per week or $2310 per month. Of course you will have costs associated with it - but I am just trying to think of anything to help with fuel costs.
What kind of problems have people experienced with bio-diesel and is anybody making their own?
