Welcome to the club, I'm a new biodieseler too, with a Nissan Patrol SD 33.
I'm having fun finding 'Local' knowledge too. Unlike you, I wish I could say
my sources of WVO were good, some batches titrate up to 8gm/litre. Mind you,
the local fishos seem to only use Animal fats. MACCA's use canola, but won't
have a bar of biodieselers, stating they're locked into service
contract.---------------------
That's my worry , The company that collects the wvo might have a wammy and
the shop
will not supply me. I guess there are lots of fish and chip shops around
and I am only
taking 1/2 of the supply so this doesn't happen
