Wait a minute!! Didn't you guys notice that he said this fuel produced LESS smoke?!? I think we need to be careful not to sacrifice our smoke on the alter of cheap fuel. 
Seriously, I'm curious about the answer to Winkle's question as well. We have to keep in mind that this is coming from Australia and the Aussies aren't "blessed" with the same EPA that we have so there may be issues of legality not to mention taxes on fuel produced.

Still waiting for the materials to show up. I can't wait to get started.
I have 400 Gal of oil ready to go! I have my holding tanks ready also. 800 Gal!!!
On a side note.... I had a friend trying to get a hold of me this weekend because a gas station that closed about a week ago was about to get their tank removed... They were selling fuel for $1 per Gal! Wouldn't you know I didn't have my cell on all weekend! I would have bought 1000 Gals!!!!

Sounds like you're prepared to start the process once you get it built. Keep us posted. If this really works (creates a diesel substutute from waste oil), I may have to look into it.

i e-mailed the guy and asked a few ?s he said you put in 100L waste oil and get 50-75L of diesel out, and the only waste it produces is ash like a wood stove
i am wondering if it takes no gas or electricity how you get to diesel and ash......

Personally, I don't care how. I'm waiting for confirmation that it actually does do it and then I'll decide from there. I'm also interested to see whether there's a way to deal with contiminated waste oil. If you get it from a local shop, no telling what ended up in it.

It does work... I built a very small scale version to see for my self and it produces....
I have the materials and a plasma cutter and I am taking the day off tomorrow and getting started... I spent $200 filling up today and it pizt me off!
My neighbor is a welder and an engineer and he is helping me put this thing together.
If anyone is interested in building one of these... Buy the plans from that guy.... He deserves to get what he can for making this available! Small price to pay for people that are willing to stretch out their neck and take a risk developing a product!
