Take a look at *www.journey*to*forever*.org they have lots of good info 
on bio-D and other alternative fuel conversions.  Im working with a 
company that has formed from this group of people to produce ethanol 
from cattails. 
I have used their simple Bio-D reactor to produce small samples, but 
just have not had the time to collect the oil needed to run the vehicals 
from the local sources.
