Dragonphotographic Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 After a year or so of planning and researching, I've just bought a Bio Diesel plant. Don't be surprised if you see my car towing a trailer with a collection tank sneaking around your local chippy! Seriously, If anyone has a few acres here and there suitable for growing oilseed rape, let me know. We can do a deal on fuel? Donations of vegetable oil will be gratefully received once I've got it up and running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 LOLOL My thoughts exactly!!! No more Oil Sead Rape!!! It takes a year to grow!! SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonphotographic Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 LOL, I agree about more flying fields needed. Enough rapeseed oil to run a car for a year can be grown on just over 2 acres. Each individual is allowed by law to make 2500 litres of diesel for their own use a year before they have to declare it or pay fuel duty etc. The by products can be used as heating oil and organic fertiliser My plan is to make my kit available for all those who want to make their own, but haven't got the kit and space to do it. This is part of my long running drive to stop giving a significant amount of my hard earned to those crooks and conmen in Westminster.
