The price of gasoline and petrol is now front page news on almost every new paper and it looks like there is no end in sight to the price increases. Have you ever considered biodiesel as your alternative fuel? If not you are missing out on saving a lot of money.

For starters you should consider purchasing a biodiesel kit. It is a great long term investment. A biodiesel kit is a system that essentially converts vegetable oil into a fuel that can be used in any diesel type vehicle.

All you need in addition to the biodiesel kit is, tap water, methanol and vegetable oil. Because of the high temperatures involved most people prefer to setup the biodiesel kit in their tool shed or garage, but you can set it up just about anywhere.

What are some of the considerations when purchasing a kit? One consideration is that some biodiesel kits may emit offensive odors. Closed kits are more expensive but produce no fumes.

You can actually use used oil in some kits also, although the process usually takes longer than with unused oils. As you can imagine this is a very popular choice for people who have a lot of cooking oil to dispose off.

Imagine the feeling of not ever worrying about the price of fuel at a gas station ever again. Biodiesel fuel is a very smart move.
