Hello kongpan, welcome to h2g2.smiley - biggrin

Someone will pop by your space with a proper introduction shortly but, in the mean time, you'd be better off asking this question in Ask h2g2: A148907

BioDiesel seems to be just filtered vegetable oil, the only difference claimed (as far as I can find) is the lower viscosity. "

I'm pretty sure that you have to go through a number of chemical processes beyond filtering.

I wonder if our science page mightn't be better A4108330

I also wonder if wouldn't be worth looking for a body that accepts donated vegeatble oil and does the processing for you. I think they exist.

That's wierd. I was putting notes together to do a Guide Entry on this. It's a simple procedure but I was trying to find out the tax implications.

The British Army in Iraq & Afghanistan runs their vehicles partly on bio diesel.

In the meantime:

Some of our school systems use biodiesel made from the oils foods are cooked in. smiley - erm I'm told driving behind a school bus in those areas makes you crave french fries..
