I am soooo envious. I have all the biodiesel I can use and more. Now I need to get the Trooper running. We also have a 1981 Peugeot turbo diesel which we got to make sure the 100% homebrew biodiesel works good enough to run it in a better engine. I am right at the 400 gallon mark for biodiesel production and it seems to work perfectly, with no downside. Yeah it smells kind of weird, but I think it smells better than dino-diesel. Plus, it costs us almost nothing as my buddy who owns a Mercedes Turbo Diesel has been paying for all the chemicals. Can't beat that. When Winter hits us here in New Mexico we will have to blend the biodiesel with petrol diesel to keep the gel point down. The Trooper has a nice block heater for starting on cold mornings. I don't know yet how the Peugeeot will do in Winter. Most of the people on the peugeot-l yahoo group with these old diesels park them for Winter. Making biodiesel in the Winter is also problematic so I don't really know how it will pan out until Winter hits.
What ever happened with the algae you had growing in your fuel system? I have heard that people have had weird crap grow in large tanks of Biodiesel, but I don't know what they did about it.
