How to make biodiesel

This past weekend we had another biodiesel fuel class at TEVA. Concentrating on making biodiesel in an Appleseed biodiesel processor, it was a productive class, with about 20 attendees. It brought out some startling realities to some of the class attendees, that just because you collect 30 gallons of oil, there's a good chance that a lot of it is unusable in the form of water and BCB's (burnt crispy bits). We covered oil collection and filtering, titration, processing, and washing.
