Another carbon/engine cleaner outer that is on the market. But it does work very well. I have used it in both gas and diesel auto's, tractors, chain saw's and even ran some through the Multi fuel salamander heater cause it was startin to smell pretty bad on diesel fumes. On gas engines, just pull a vaccuum hose and revver up good and it will suck it through and on diesel I pull the fuel filter and refill it with Seafoam. But be mindfull of the neighbors, it's gonna smoke like a mother while it runs through.

A year or so ago I got a pamphlet in the mail talking about a seminar that somebody travels around the country putting on. They supply the equipment and training to make your own Bio from scratch. Just wondering if anybody has been to it or knows anything about it.

I have heard a little about that. I learned just enough about bio-d to know it was too time consuming for me and theres still cost involved so you end up making a batch of fuel that cost you around 75 cents per gallon and when i can accomplish the same goal by filtering and burning straight unaltered waste vegi oil with very little of my time involved and its absolutely free, i decided Bio-D wasn't for me. With bio-d you pay for the ingrediants to make it, running straght vegi oil in a two tank system like i am, you have to pay for the cost of vonverting the truck to run it.

A good conversion will cost between 2000 and 3000 bucks. That sounds like alot but drive on free fuel for a year and you have recouped your 3 grand.
Vegistroke is making a kit for the cummins and he may already have it done...check into it here.

Around me there is no veggie oil left not accounted for already. When all this started a couple guys went around and hit every place, offering to pay an unknown amount for it. They got it all locked up.

Really? "All" of it? You must live in a small town as do i but i drive into the city to go to work and thats where I get my oil. There are so many resturants that 2 people couldn't possibly get it all.

Nope I live in the capital city. I'm sure there is some of the small places they may have overlooked, but they pretty well covered it. I'm assuming it's probably either for farming or a hotshot company. You can't miss em around town they drive around all day long with 5ea 55gal drums in the back of each of there pickups, all tied into place.
