  • how do you guys do it?

    hi guys im new to this forum and to biodiesel, i just want your opinions on a few thing i was looking to buy a processor cos i havent got the time to make one and ive found a few and where wondering what you guys think is the way to go,
    theres the BioMaster Processor in W.A. at http://www.bioworks.com.au/quickinks/processequip.html this is the cheapest i found at $3150 derlivered.
    another is www.biodieselgear.com/equipment/details.htm.
    also www.homebiodiesel.com/processor/ & The freedom fueler http://store.homebiodieselkits.com/hobikit.html and lastly -
    SSI BioPro 150 Biodiesel Processor https://shop.planetbiodiesel.com/categories.asp
    it would be great to know what you guys think. im going 50/50 with my brother in setting up. also,
    i just wanted to know how some of you guys collect your used oil,
    i have spoken to my near by fish & chip shops and they are willing to give me there oil but i have to pump it out off 205l drums into some sort of storage tank or a drum in the rear of my 4wd or ute.
    how do some of you pump it or go about it, what pumps do some of you use to pump it out and what kind of hose do i buy.
    i heard the jabsco diesel and oil pumps are great 12volts.

    Thanku for your responces

    Hi Alessa,

    I'll leave it to the more experienced biodiesel makers to answer your other questions, but I was just going to suggest that you have a look at this thread here. Oily, one of our members in Wollongong was building some kits that he was going to sell. He had a few issues with a pump and withdrew the product until he could get this sorted, but it may be worth your while contacting him and asking.

    Also, I've moved this post from the Straight Veggie Oil forum where you'd put it and into the Making Biodiesel forum, where it might get a bit more attention.

      Alessa,
      While I do not make biodiesel, I do know one of the directors of Bioworks - Jonathon Thwaites. Jonathon is there to promote biodiesel, not for personal gain. The company must make a profit, but that is not his motive.

      I believe that you will get good service and an honest opinion from Jonathon.

      Jonathon has organised the 12 Biodiesel Workshops which have been held by Phillip Calais and myself in WA, Vic and SA, since 2003 when the first one was presented.

      Should you have a negative experience with Bioworks, please let ME know and I will enquire on your behalf.

      Regatds,
      Tony Clark
      0428 920 881

      BTW, Jonathon is the Coordinator for ATA in WA.
      Life is a journey, with problems to solve, lessons to learn, but most of all, experiences to enjoy.
