Todd,
I have looked at Fuelmeister and would not buy it, but for others it might
be an alternative to get started. It is a waste of money, but if you get
all the parts and instructions and are insecure with finding the parts and
putting them together.
I was looking closer to girl Mark's $140

Rather than your suggestion, why don't I and others just make the
information freely available to anyone with a teaspoon of common sense and
let them reap the savings of building their own processors from scratch?
Or why not make an outbuilding available for a like minded entremanure to

Todd,
Chuck talked about general rules of margins and those are quite close to my
experiences also. I we talk about fuelmeister as such, it is quite a. other

a kit, it does not look serious either. It is no real devel
Hakan,
I don't think that Chuck and I are on the same wavelength at all.
I see a system that is largely deficient, over represented and unnecessarily
excessively priced.
I tend to understand Chuck as not addressing the deficiencies, somewhat
aware of the over representations but either unable o
Thanks for pointing that washing misinformation out.
There's so much
bad info on that website.
The problem with not washing till the water is clear, is that it's
harder to get the biodiesel to go 'clear' as well (if there's still
soap left in the biodiesel). Murky biodiesel contains water. P

Todd,
I think that you are not really in conflict with Chuck, it has to do with
manufacturing costs, volume, geographic and market segments. If you look at
a normal relations, the traditional sustainable pricing looks more or less
like this,

about the FuelMeister. It's the misinformation, and it's the fact
that it creates itself a market by misrepresenting the reality of
homebrewing and the great supposed difficulty of equipment building.

Chuck,
Funny you should mention HP and the lilke. Their marketing strategies are a
bit more involved than your oversimplified 3x premise - volume and lost
leaders being just a couple. From our experience, it's primarily (not

Chuck,
You are right, but it is also a little bit dependent on business sector. In
IT business the production cost (PC) is normally 20 to 25% of the end user
price (EUP) and that covers HP. If you look at other products, the PC is
around 30 to 35% of EUP. It might be some Businesses that have

Hello Chuck
>Todd,
Well you had better not buy from HP or any number of major firms because my 3 X
number has nothing to do with my degree. It has a lot to do with 30 years of
high level observation. 3 times they might make it. 2X they do not make it.
Now here is my bet. I bet that bio solutions will not make
Copper is a catalyst for oxidation of biodiesel, causing
a green oxidation of
the metal and an oxidation of the fuel. Probably not your best bet. Mild
steel is safer, stainless is good.
