As many small bio fuel brewers as there are out there one would think there would be more interest in backing them..though there is a fair amount of venture capitol involved in it now.

The problem with selling bio diesel on a commercial basis is that to meet ASTM standards virgin feed stocks must be used thus it pushes prices well above petro diesel.

Though ASTM standards can be met by titrating waste feed stock which is what I use for my use, but I only use that for start up and shut down and run filtered waste feed stock in a separate heated fuel system.

essentially my fuel is free other than the 4 hours a week I spend to collect waste oil and process it.
