Take a look at my son Tom Leue's biodiesel project for manufacturing fuel from used cooking oil using Joshua Tickell's recipe detailed in his book.
Homediesel page (my first page detailing the origins of Yellow Biodiesel)
Also take a look at Tom's biodiesel website for a tour of his plant and several articles about biodiesel, what it is, how to make it and how it all works. There is also a video of the process, in which Tom demonstrates and explains the process which you may purchase by clicking here.
Bioupdate #10 - the aftermath/the opportunity
Joshua Tickell (author of From the Fryer to the Fuel Tank) has just sent out an amazing letter describing in detail the shocking circumstances that got him started and why now is the time to get involved! You can read it at his own site, at http://www.veggievan.org
OR, you may just send a donation to Josh by clicking here: http://www.VeggieVan.org/donate
Spring, 2004: Tom has just put together a splendid presentation asking and answering basic questions concerning biodiesel fuel, on a file entitled "5 questions.ppt". You would do well to begin with it. If you write Tom at tilapia@aol.com, he'll send you a copy.
