i guess i'll find out soon also, i just purchased the plans. have to go get ink first

already costing me money

if you read my post above, he said for every 100L in you get 50-75L out depending on temp ect. so i would assume it would be the same for gallons. that tells me i need a 55gal. drum for a tank of fuel.....i can see pumps and tanks and drums being in my future.......

Got a question: If you pick up oil from oil change stations, do you have to have a permit or anything? It seems that waste engine oil would be tracked by the government or something, especially from a oil change shop. I want to buy today, but this is one holdup that has me concerned. Can you give any info on this oilguy?

I get a manifest from the comp that picks it up but that is mainly because the driver get paid for the amount that he pick up... In Texas Waste oil is not a hazardous material and no one needs to know anything if you are hauling 55 gal or less.
I have never been checked for anything except waste water stuff by the city. He was more worried about my mop water than the thousands of gallons of oil I have in the warehouse.

Wow! I emailed the designer a page of questions this morning about spec's and got back very detailed answers and he is sending pictures of working models.
I have the main part of the processor just about together... probably another 8-10 hrs and it should be ready to fire up.
I think this thing is for real!

Mike D I like the information that you posted... I built a version of that WOTEC machine. That is how I was blending waste oil and diesel when I was running it in my PSD. Not sure about the other deal though.

How do you handle the issue of road tax with this stuff? I can't believe that the state and feds won't have their hand out for taxes on what you produce.

Might be like biodiesel.
It can be considered a "Diesel Fuel Additive".

Yeah, a 95% home brew to 5% store bought mix is still "adding" isn't it.
