Homebrewed biodiesel is great, and the Appleseed reactor has a huge following. Algae is an incredible biodiesel feedstock. I've been wondering lately if it would be feasible to grow it in a tank at home. Good on you, Chuck. Homebrewed biodiesel is great, and the Appleseed reactor has a huge following.

I can use 100% home-brewed stuff if I chose to. What the reactor does is chemically process the fuel, removing the glycerins. I'm not a chemist, so maybe Dan could explain how it works. I rattled off a few words to him in a telephone conversation once and he explained to me what I meant. ;) I've always said that my pain threshold for going 100% home brew was about $3.50-$4.00 per gallon. Diesel has hung in at just under $3.00 for the past 6 months (my last tank cost me $2.89 per US gallon) but gasoline has spiked to well over $3.50 now. The last time I put gasoline in the Jaguar it was $3.64. I figure I might as well start working towards energy independence now. Yes. I can use 100% home-brewed stuff if I chose to.
