I've owned 3 diesels in the past and was debating brewing my own biodiesel but decided against it. My one question that I've never seen answered was how much is it costing for electricity to process the oil to bio? Those electric water heaters draw some power have you figured that out yet? I know alot of guys talk about how cheap it is to make it but I never see electricty costs figured in. Also how long is your bio sitting after brewing? Any problems with bacteria growing in it?

Sorry about the ball busting bio is cool stuff and smells much better. It just has some drawbacks, how much wax do you have sitting around after brewing? Gonna start a candle factory yet
