          Yes, it really does make great biodiesel. Here's something to consider though. If an Australian farmer produced a field of sunflower oil and made biodiesel from it and then paid the excise tax, would he be able to receive the grant back from the Government?

          No.

          The Australian biodiesel standards specify a cetane of 51. Sunflower oil produces a biodiesel of 46.6 cetane.

          Of course, tallow produces a biodiesel in excess of 51, but if I had my druthers I would prefer to have the sunflower biodiesel.

          There has been some discussion about using a different test for biodiesel, but I don't know where that discussion is up to. Anybody know what is happening with the cetane testing?
