Randy Davis in Sonoma County CA who is a very visible SVO/biodiesel guy in their SVO coop. (virgin oil, regularly) Ken Provost on this board (WVO) Laurie from the Veggieavenger forum who is also a SOnoma person. (virgin oil) those are just people I know of.
Two of the three hve access to our northern california virgin oil source (flush oil from an oil bottler), so why bother with methanol? in fact, I'm having the same thought as I recently got some of this oil myself. Main problem is where to buy the ethanol cheap, and Dave Shaw's 'alcoholcanbeagas' friends are working on solving that problem for us. mark --- In biofuel@yahoogroups.com, Dan Maker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Keith Addison said: > > > > >Not with the current processes, particularly not with WVO.
