Sorry, sounds really bogus to me. I was always told you can't rush making fuel. It might burn, what AREN'T you getting out which is gumming up your injectors / injection pump?

Yeah see in order to do this you need an alcohol and caustic soda (NaOH) or flake (KOH). Biodiesel is FAME (Fatty ACID Methyl Ester). You do not get biodiesel buy dumping in some magical chemical.

If that stuff really worked it would be like hitting the jack pot or Lotto. Too bad it can't be that simple.

Seems like "snake oil" if you ask me. I am by NO means anything close to a biodiesel expert, but it seems it is one of those, "if it is too good to be true, then...".

Sounds similar to the "Diesel Secret" that got hyped and turned out to be bad for the engines.

Just ask yourself why he's selling this on ebay.

Its not like the big oil companies wouldn't pay millions of dollars for it if it actually worked. Snake oil... nothing more.

Hope you get your money back.
