BioDiesel at Home

Make biodiesel at home… I am not sure I would be too happy about any of my neighbors doing this because the process creates a very distinct and far traveling smell. Nonetheless, I wouldn’t worry about safety as diesel and it’s variants, like kerosene, are very stable.

The energy produced is better for the environment, producing up to 60% less CO2 than standard petrol, whilst being biodegradable. But we are not too sure having such units within homes is such a good idea in terms of safety; last time we checked fuel was quite flammable.
