FredIA, It is expensive and not intended for folks wanting to "kick the tires". My coop, YBDC.org does offer a spring and a fall workshop for $30 per day including lunch, but even that offends some people and does not generate many $$ to keep the coop going. We also give tours of the facility on...

The largest consumer of Biodiesel in the US is the military. How many MILLIONS of fleet miles need to be reported before we wake up to the fact of peak oil and what we as individuals can do about it?

There is nothing like seeing it done. We will explain in great detail how to get the good oil. We currently pump over 400 gallons per week, lots of ways to do it. Several ways not to do it also! Learn from our mistakes....

The workshop will be held on our sprawling biofuel research facility (my farm) just off county road F-52 on the turnpike, Orval Yoder Turnpike;} About 15 miles S.E. of Iowa City. We are expecting a real fine time and should have lots of new additions to our rig. The website lags behind our...

In a fancy car like yours it is a short hop! Last fall a fellow from Turkey doing his post doctorate drove down from Ann Arbor with only a blanket to sleep under a tree! Another drove from New Hampshire and several from Kansas. Even had a gal from Saskatoon drive down before the Ia State event.

Definately Amish. How many skid loaders do you know of that have steel wheels. Very few Old Order Amish left. Lots of Mennonites around also.

B100 in my A3 Jetta TDI for 10 months, then at least B70 when below +20F. I did chicken out when it went down to -15F. Petrodiesel stinks in so many ways.

BRAVO! I applaud your ability to provide the document. Suppliers like that are what will make Biodiesel succesfull. They deserve our support and business.

I believe the answere to the issue lies here! http://www.gotoplanb.net/declaration2.pdf

The full battery of ASTM tests costs something like $1200. The one you are most concerned with is the free glycerine test. TDIWyse has some EXCELLENT ifo on this! Many of the spec tests can be acomplished by simply looking at it. If you read the info on the tests you run into things like...

No way you will get a ASTM test sheet. My commercial supplier gets it by the rail car and when I asked him about testing he gave me that quisical puppy look?!? Testing? We don't need no stinking testing. And he is a nice guy! Dirty little secret of the biodiesel industry is that officially the...

This is very progressive. The NBB, aka SOY lobby has kept anything over B10 completely unheard of. Higher blends are the wave of the future. Quality will be the gremlin. Even commercial fuel is off spec and often not tested, AT ALL. My homebrew is clearer than any commercial biodiesel I have...

Chicken fat would make horrible cold weather biodiesel. I had taken a 1/2 gallon sample of homemade biodiesel to one of my Amish neighbors and when I checked back with him he was freaking out on how it made his skid loader run sooo much better. No smoke, lots of power and a lot less stinky. He...

Bill, Your filter is already heated by the return line. I have been running my A3 TDI on B100 down to +16F with no problems. I'm not sure but does the A4 have an intank restriction like my A3 does? Have you tried a tell tale on your porch railing? There are so many variables that it really...
