I am having a hard enough time convincing operators to try BioD let
alone converting tractors to straight oil. As far as I know no
manufacturer is going to warranty an engine if run on veg-oil. The
idea is to get to some reasonable volume of sales to support life on
the farm and I don't think
This is another area I had considered but I was thinking more along
the lines of a CO-OP setup. The nice thing about a CO-OP is that they
are usually set up for the participating farmers to commit XX acres
of production for processing at the plant in return for a % of the
profit, cuts down on

John you bring up an interesting point. One that I am trying to figure out
myself. I am in the long process of trying to bring my dream of a 1000 gpd
bio-diesel plant into reality. At this point in time I am gearing the plant
for virgin oil instead of RVO (Recycled Vegatable Oil). However I am
Can I ask why you couldn't take the soy oil, clean it, and burn it straight or
mix it in the summer months, then switch over to diesel in the winter?

What I am trying to figure out is if there is a reasonable business
case to produce BioD to supplement farm income, not just to supply
fuel for the farm. The cost of each additional process step has to be
taken separately. If I could sell the soy-oil for $5/gal(not likely)
