Apparently the government (in their infinite generosity) are allowing us to avoid duty on diesel if you make our own biodiesel. You can make up to 2500 litres a year for personal use (about 20K miles worth in your average diesel car). You can get a recipes here.
The website says "Anybody can make biodiesel. It's easy, you can make it in your kitchen -- and it's BETTER than the petro-diesel fuel the big oil companies sell you. Your diesel motor will run better and last longer on your home-made fuel, and it's much cleaner -- better for the environment and better for health."
Sadly my vehicle (a VW) says NO biodiesel on the filler cap, so I won't be starting right away. I will however, be asking VW why not.

How much do you need to get started? Could we encourage staff at KMI to bring their used oil to work, pool it and create a company biodiesel resource?
