FYI from BBC devastating explosion levelled the makeshift reprocessing plant

A Northamptonshire man destroyed his garage and badly injured himself at the weekend while attempting to make biodiesel from used cooking oil. A devastating explosion levelled the makeshift reprocessing plant on Saturday afternoon, when sparks from an electric drill being used to mix ingredients ignited explosive vapours.
Firemen hastened to deal with the smoking wreckage, in Middleton Cheney, and the unnamed thrifty motorist was airlifted to hospital with 20 per cent burns.

My neighbour must have seen it..

Was asked about my 'activities' and what the risks to their house/land was - rural residential, they are 300m away so they were easily diverted.. Wait till I put up the 26m radio tower
