I have seen these processors before and I think they are very pricey to say the least.
Google for "Appleseed processor"...should find it at Journy to forevers website.
Best i remember (been a year or more since i read about these) they are good processors and alot cheaper to build

You could give extremebiodiesel.com a try

also, read this site (click) they have a processor document you can download with detailed construction directions and parts list. Their total was 1500$ but acknowledges it can be built for less. You need to research reactors carefully. Some are dangerous due to their material selections. Better to spend a little more and know you have one that works properly and safely.

back in the days of when Stacey David was hosting the show "Trucks", he did a show on Biodiesel, he bought his refinery at www.freedomefuels.com

Although they are pricey, I like the design of the FuelMeister II from Biodiesel Solutions. They apparently have a new top on the reactor barrel that has a special canister for the lye that makes it totally dissolve now. That has been the problem with many do-it-yourself reactors, making the lye totally dissolve.

I'm currently working on building the Appleseed Processor.

i haven't bought anything yet. i was just looking and seeing what my options were. i think i am going to wait untill i buy my house so i can permnatly mount one and leave it there. don't think my landlord would like me making fuel in his garage lmao. but i have looked at all the links. and all rea great ideas.

Just put a conversin on your truck and burn straight vegi oil and skip all the reactor stuff. It is alot easier and you will have alot less risk of toasting your injectors with a possible bad mix of bio.

This is what I liked about the BioPro 190 it is portable and weighs less than 300lbs. It also runs on 110 volt ac power and is self contained with the exception of the water supply. Which may be as simple as a barrel of water,
