In what is my greatest accomplishment THUS FAR, as a Peace Corps volunteer, the tanks and tank stand for my bio-diesel processor have been delivered. The tanks and tank stand were custom made by local vendors. We are still awaiting delivery of the pumps, solar panel and solar hot water heater. Once we get these materials, we will start the preliminary experiments on producing bio-diesel on a big scale. We will be using waste vegetable oil (WVO) to mix with methanol and caustic soda to produce bio-diesel in 40-50 gallon batches. Currently, we are making the fuel in 1-liter batches using a kitchen blender. A container was bought and retrofitted to house the processor.
