I actually used to work for a biodiesel company in NY. Thankfully I became a full time musician before the plant in Atlanta literally BLEW UP! I guess that's a risk you take when making fuel... But I became wise to how much the price inflates because of trading and then Obama failed to renew their tax break and the business has been pretty unstable since.
The one problem is that people are getting wise to the free fuel that restaurants used to have to pay to remove... I hear larger restaurants and chains are going into contracts with their waste oil but if you find your small town spot and arrange a local deal you'll have plenty of fuel for home.
I'm looking at the SVO kit from goldenfuelsystems.com. You can install an extra kit so that you don't have to do anything to the oil before putting it in your car. And the owner says that even when doing cross country road trips he is always able to find fuel. He goes in and buys dinner first (Chinese places have the highest quality oil) then he tells his story and ask about their waste oil. With our interesting truck and trailer I'm sure we'll be able to make lots of friends who won't mind slipping us some oil under the table.
And I like the fact that with this system you can switch back and forth from SVO to diesel with the flip of a switch (the engine has to start on Diesel, once it warms up you switch to SVO, then switch back to diesel before you power down.)
Going green is such an important part of everything we do. My next thread will probably be about solar and wind power for the Airstream!
