Project Information

(Have fun and let me know what you think)

Alternative Fuels - Biodiesel

Biodiesel Project Car This is a 1986 VW Golf Diesel, front wheel drive, transverse engine, and "gets" 45+ mpg. It ran on lightly processed vegetable oil (fatty acids) for two years. I need to rebuild the engine (not biodiesel related)and get it back on the road. In the meantime I am working on a Biodiesel Production Co-op project in Floyd. We intend to be in production by the begining of 2006. Check in again for more information on the biodiesel production project.

Basic Biodiesel Recipe - coming soon
