Product Description
Biodiesel Basics and Beyond aims to separate fact from fiction and to educate potential home, farm, and co-operative manufacturers on the economic production of quality biodiesel from both waste and virgin oil feedstock. The book includes: - detailed processes and equipment required to produce biodiesel fuel that meets North American standards
- how farmers can use excess oilseed as a feedstock for biodiesel production
- the use of the co-byproduct glycerin in the making of soap
- a guide to numerous reference materials and a list of supplier data
This is North America's definitive guide to responsibly producing biodiesel from waste vegetable oil, while minimizing your environmental footprint in the process.

Well layed out. April 7, 2008

This book was very well written and researched. The book is detailed but still very interesting. I felt lead by some suspense. I was thinking, "Given all the hard truths, Can he really make it work for the home scale producer?!?" - and in the end, he does.
I wish he'd said a little more about using SVO but that's not what this is about.
Excellent book - an ABSOLUTE MUST for your bookshelf March 8, 2008

After researching most of the books available on the market on the subject of BIO-DIESEL I eventually settled for this book.
It is well-written and covers every aspect of the manufacture of bio-diesel that the smaller-scale individual would look for in a book. The author is well-versed in his subject and is a definate must-have book if you are looking to get into this field.
Definately worth 5/5 stars from me.

This book is great and details exactly how to make and use your own biodisel. It also covers saftey and logistical aspects of creating it which I thought was quite nice. The only reason though that i gave it 4 stars was becuase it is a bit wordy. There is a lot of information in this book and it can be overwhelming but overall it is very good and useful.
Great Book! January 29, 2008

This book was purchased to get a better understanding of the biodiesel production process and industry. It also goes into great detail in how to build your own quality biodiesel plant. The author also dispells the fact from fiction involving quality biodiesel production. It is a good book for the person very interested in building a plant and is wanting to make an educated decision before he builds the plant. Overall, Great Book!

WOW!!!
I've been looking on the web at making fuel for some time and never felt I was getting the whole picture. This is ALL the info you will ever need on the subject. From system setup throught dealing with waste, this book explains it all in laymens terms. It shows that making fuel is not going to be the easyest thing you ever do. In the same breath, it shows that its within reach of us "normal" people.
It really a very informative but light read. Not only the process is reviewed, but also the economics and history. Definitly worth the read weither you want to make fuel, or just learn more about the subject.
