This article started by explaining in some what organic chemistry terms the process of making biodiesel. Did you know biodiesel is essentially a biproduct of orgainic oil? Using a heating device like what you see on your car’s muffler called a catalyst the orgainic oil and an additive of alcohol is heated. A nice orgaic chemical reaction occurs and one of the biproducts is biodiesel.

Now this is a real simple explaination of what happens but then again I’m not a oraganic chemist. So when they talk about the oil molecule replaces the glycerine molecule with one of the alcohol molecules…blah blah blah is all I here.

Just give me a simple step by step procedure along with a real nice processor and I’ll make my own biodiesel. Now of course I undertand that this can be dangerous so it is REAL important to understand what you should and should not do.

Any way I suggest you check out this page at the The Collaborative Biodiesel Tutorial. Check out the time line to make the biodiesel if you want to know what is really involved.
