| Biodiesel to keep the business running.
Hi Guys,
I've been looking at all your terrific information regarding how to make Biodiesel and what to make it with.
My mum runs a small country pub, in the middle of nowhere, and the price of electricity is very high.
We have several fridges the need to run and a cool-room for the beer, let alone the lights and other items.
I'm not sure if she can sustain the increases in energy prices that I expect to happen over the next 4 years, and I would like to run the coolroom and refrigeration units with a diesel generator running on our own leftover frying oil.
We don't go through incredible amounts of oil, perhaps only 40 liters a week, and it currently is the Frytol variety, which by all accounts is a little more difficult to process and more (or less I guess you could say) sensitive to temperature.
Does anyone know if there are any 'always on' generators running home grown biodiesel, and if there are any issues running it for very long periods of time.
If anyone knows a setup where we could continue to use Frytol that would be good (as its a well priced oil for it's cooking qualities) but if not I would be willing to convince her to change to something less difficult.
I think some aspects are easier for us, as I could have the oil filtered when draining (and the oil still hot).
Any opinions, suggestions, help! would be very very appreciated.
Chris.
