Biodiesel Workshop
Sat. Sep 13, 2008 at 10:00am
Biodiesel fuel can run in any diesel engine and some home heating equipment. Learn to make your own inexpensive biodiesel with common ingredients in a processor built from off-the-shelf parts. At this hands-on workshop, we’ll build the processor from the ground up and start producing fuel from waste vegetable oil. This class combines lab, practical, theory and Q&A.
