I have been running home-made bio for over three years. We use it year round, blended in the winter with dino to get the gel point down and get the power service to be more effective. My fuel is canola based mostly and starts to cloud ant about 28. I use sodium hydroxide and get it at a local fuel wholesaler. It is the stuff used in hot tanks at auto shops. Radiator shops use lots and are a place to look. Going to the potasium type this spring to get a useable by product(fertilizer) and limit the dump runs. I have more wvo than I can use at the moment and my son has ordered a press set up so we may use more virgin oil in tha future. Am going to try algea this year too as we have a lake that has about 4 acres in the shallows that get a lot of pond scum and would llike to find a use for it. I spend most of my time in the shop and the only time consuming part is if I put a lot on the floor. Takes a while to get 50 gallons off the floor.

One bit of advice: Get someone to walk you through the first couple of batches as it is one of those more art than science. You need to watch the wash carefuly and can't rush or it will get on the floor. Also don't listen the the internet guru who hasn't made any. I did for a while and got lots of advice from the armchair special type who didn't know diddley, but gave lots of advice none of which was even close to the kind of knowledge a little shop time will give you.
