    processor not heating up

    Sounds to me like your heating element is running on 115 volts. Check wiring. Check breaker box to make sure the 230-double pole breaker is indeed working properly. Check ground and make sure no current is leaking though the heating element case to frame.

    I'd agree with that. Probably an oil company employee

    Why I won't use biodiesel

    The key word in all that is "Can cause some problems". Regular petrol diesel can cause some problems too.. The only thing is that most folks are so accustomed to dealing with those problems that they aren't called problems anymore.. Did you know that people who run biodiesel all the time...

    Biodiesel in cold weather

    Put a 1 liter jar of your biodiesel outside in the shade. When it goes cloudy, use no more than a 25% blend. When it goes solid, do not use it at all.

    Just for the public's information... The fuel filter thing only happens to about 1 in 100 people who just started using biodiesel.

    who makes a steel bio diesel processor?

    I think folks will find that there is no such thing as a cheap "ready made" processing system that is new. Spend the big bucks, or build your own (best), or find a used one. The reason metal processors are expensive is because it takes work to build them. its not just a matter of glueing...

    DIY home processing plant

    Of course there is a difference.. but how that difference applies to various activities is what's in question. That depends on what kind of equipment it is. Think of a coffee maker. How many times have you left the heater on when the pot was empty? User negligence right? How would you feel...

    Bioblend and my basement

    Well then, BioDiesel will keep just fine in your basement for about 1 to 1.5 years or so. Keep oxygen out of the tank if you can.. keep it as cool as you can and dark. Keeping the tank full will last longer than leaving it 1/4 full. Also, if keeping it warm in the winter is a problem, drop...

    Bioblend and my basement

    You should be able to prevent growth in biodiesel by simply heating it to 160 degF to kill off anything living. I think most algae bites the dust around 130 or so but I could be wrong.
