2007.03.31 23.52 | Small Scale Biodiesel Production

Energy security and environmental impacts of energy production and usage are growing concerns of many Americans. Alternatives to oil and other petroleum-based fuels are gaining rapidly in popularity as a result. Learn in this podcast about the basics of biodiesel, how you can get involved in using it, and where this and other biofuels are going in Pennsylvania.

What they talk about. It smells like French fries. It's fast food fuel. Kids are jazzed about biofuel. The car has to be a diesel. The gas car can not be converted.

Your tank has to be cleaned with methanol.
