Hi Zeke, Yeah, diy is pretty exempt from most regulations, I guess. But I still get my methoxide and lye from the local hardware and car supply stores, and on a couple of recent visits I've been accused of making crystal meth! (this has to do with 'meth-watch', a public interest group advocating shop managers keep their eyes on purchasers of the main ingredients of meth-making)
I prefer biodiesel off the radar, is all. Now that official p[olicy is being set, I wouldn't be surprised if actual restrictive laws were enacted specifically prohibiting biodiesel production in the home.
