Have any of you ever tried biodiesel?

Question

I recently stumbled on to a site that I could purchase how to make my own biodiesel.

I was skeptical at first but I decided that I really needed to save the money. So after buying the book and trying it, I didn't see any change in the performance of my car, but I was using less money on diesel.

I'd like to know have any of you actually tried this before? If you haven't can you please tell me why, because I heard this is a new product on the market and it is really working in my car.

Biodiesel seems to be the way of the future, and I really think you should try it, if you can.

The links to the site which I found a review of the product is: http://biodiesel.reviewfunnel.com/ (For those of you that are interested)

So I guess I would like to know why you aren't using it, if you have heard of it and why you aren't trying to get better gas prices?

Answer 1

Mr. salad bar (yes it's...) is absolutely right.  If America screws the pooch again and elects McBush, I'm going to encourage Barack to run for Emperor of the European Union.  He'll win if today's turnout in Berlin is any indication.

Answer 2

I have used commercially produced Bio Diesel in my F350 Truck. It costs almost the same as diesel, it runs on bio diesel the same as regular diesel and I really don't see the big advantage of buying it commercially. Since it is 80 miles out of the way to the only station that sells it, the slight reduction in price is not worth it. I am very interested in the fact that American farmers can produce crops that oil can be extracted from and processed into Bio Diesel. This could be a serious contender for the source of oil the country needs to fuel the trucks that move goods to and from market. However, the US Government needs to start putting money into the subsidies for farmers that produce crops for fuel and stop spending 3 billion dollars a week in that God forsaken area called the Middle East. We have the technology and the land to produce oil crops like peanuts, cotton seed, sunflowers, rap seed, jojoba, etc. But the big oil companies and their buddy George W. Bush will not let it happen. If you are dumb enough to put another Republican in office in November you will never see a reduction in the price of fuel or any alternative types of fuel (other than ethanol, because the corn interests are as bad as the oil interests) available to the American public.
