It isn't as exciting or ambitious as an EV, but I have finally begun my Biodiesel Processor in earnest.
I went scrounging for parts this weekend:-)
So far I have
1) 48 gallon water heater that doesn't leak
2) 125 Gallon propane tank
3) 5 Blue Plastic 55 Gallon Barrels
4) 1 1.75" Ball Valve
5) a Beast of a 1/2Hp Vacuum pump
6) Someone to thread Steel pipe for free :-)
Most of my info is coming from
http://www.biodieselcommunity.org/,
http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html and

Basic design is an appleseed.
First order of business is to build a supersucker out of the propane tank, vacuum pump, large ball valve. The propane tank will have to be cut down to fit in to the golf.
I'd like to try and Vacuum dry the waste oil since it is already in a vacuum canister.
After that comes the processor, I'll likely start with the standard design, and work from there.
I have a SVO driving f250 acquaintance who I believe I can get at least start up oil from, and maybe more.
Looks like I will need to buy Pipe, hoses, and a working pump, not bad at all.
