Helping make the US energy Independent a gallon at a time.  

When we got in to the BioDiesel business it was hard to find real information about what it was or what you could or could not do with it. Most anyone in the industry you talked to about it would say it was proprietary info (the witch doctor)and they were the only ones that knew how to make it properly.

Well let me tell you it is so proprietary that Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of the diesel engine, designed it to run on vegetable and seed oils; he actually ran the thing on peanut oil for the 1900 World's Fair. The reason this is relevant is to say that making Biodiesel is not rocket science. If you stick to the basics, use good feed stock you can produce ASTM quality biodiesel without a lot of problems. At The La Grange Plant Inc. We have an extensive Lab with two HP 5890 II gas chromatography set up for feed stock and  ASTM quality Testing. We make sure that no fuel leaves before it has undergone this extensive testing.

We would also like to help anyone looking to make their own fuel to give us a call and if we can help we will do what we can. It would be great to get high schools to get the students to learn to make their own fuel. It is something that everyone and any one should know the basics of. With all of us doing a small part I do not think petroleum fuel will ever go away but we can reduce our own use of it.
