Saw a Silver CRD at 35th and Grover today in Phoenix. Anybody on the list?

Wasn't me. But, Hi anyway neighbor.

Do you know of anyone interested in forming a biodiesel co-op in the valley?

Other than me, no.

There's a MD I know that has been making his own for 2 years. He's offered to show me the ropes. And, there's another guy who I think drives a VW TDi who currently makes his own and is also interested in a co-op.

The reported equation is that the process is relatively easy, costs about $750 to set up for 20 gallon batches, requires about 4 hours labor per batch, and costs about $1.00/gallon.

I'll keep you in the loop via email.

That would be great. I've read a lot about the process but have never seen it performed in person.

We're around, look for the white one and that might be me.

Funny how a post starts and builds momentum for just seeing another CRD. My wife drives an '06 Sport CRD in light khaki that has a lighthouse picture on the spare tire cover. You'll see this one on the west and northwest side of the valley.

Ken....

Mine is dark green with a Biodiesel license plate holder and a NRA spare tire cover.

does the CRD running bio qualify to drive solo in the Phoenix commuter lanes as an alternative fuel vehicle? If so how do you get licensed for it?

I have no idea. All I have is a plate holder. The vehicles I have seen with the AF (alternate fuel) plates are all official vehicles of some type with CNG stickers.

I have a white crd limited in the 60 and 101 area. When bioD back yard plant is finished (this winter sometime), I'll post some picts. So far I have two 400 gallon tanks and a 250 gallon tank.

I would be very interested in your pictures and the results your are getting cooking yer own. I've done small batches, but would really like to move up to a processor in the future.

The family and I parked next to a Silver CRD the other day at the Happy Valley Barnes & Noble. Anyone on the list?
