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.
