Create Your Own Biodiesel at Home

Fuelpod2

Diesel and diesel hybrids are gradually becoming a part of the car industry’s green future, even if a few manufacturers (ahem, Toyota) are being stubborn. In the short term, the fuel for these vehicles is going to come from existing diesel infrastructure, but biodiesel is becoming more common. On a small scale, consumers can convert cooking oil waste — assuming they have a lot of oil waste lying around the house — into biodiesel with the FuelPod2.

The benefits? The biodiesel burns clean, is ecologically friendly and the machine is small enough to fit comfortably in the corner of the garage. The drawbacks? It’s going to take a lot of old oil waste to generate 13 gallons of the good stuff. An industrial-sized popcorn machine might be a good second purchase.
