Run the archives here; there's been lots of posts about bio, and some complaints. Also, one of the other tractor sites, I think it's tractorbynet.com, has a fuel-lubricant forum; I haven't been into it for some time, but it had a raft of posts about both obtaining/processing and using bio. If I recall correctly, there were things to watch out for or avoid, depending on the fuel and the engine, but, not being a diesel guy, I never really got into it. Good luck.

Hi jim,

Below is the greatest website for bio-fuels info that I've found. Spend a few days reading it over.

Caution: Most of the processes use methnol and lye mixtures for gylcerin seperation that creates a very nasty chemical when mixed together. Head too the safety warning at all times.

You can run upto 25%SVO too #2D mixture without having to do anything other than prefilter the SVO. SVO= straight vegetable oil (virgin oil).

WVO= waste vegie oil is what most processes talk about, or oil that has been used for cooking.

If you indeed get into making "cooking oil" remember there's no regulations for cooking oil but there's all kinds of regulations for fuel oil.

That JTF guy is not much more than a self appointed expert, read a--whole, scam artist is more like it. Formulas for advance production purposely misleading to prevent someone from copying work he copied from the net (claims improvements). Any questioning of his work brings on retailation and name calling. Kind of a "how dare you question me". Crap like that. Both these sites have quit a bit on JTF and the way he treats people. Plus if some tries to post bougus stuff the comunity knocks it down real quick.

I've always been a little gunshy of using a homebrew B-100. Maybe its just me but it only takes me screwing up something one time to wreck a dozen thousand dollar pumps. Take a long time to make that back.

With that said, I use a B-20 blend in everything in the summer and a B-10 blend spiked with 10% of kerosene in the winter. Right now thats what my fuel supplier brings everyone. He's uses reprocessed engine oil, animal rendering oil, and now new soybean oil. According to the air quality meters at the rock quarry the current blend is the cleanest of all so thats all he mixes.
