It's a hokey soda bottle shaker method that doesn't make very good
biodiesel. It's cool for doing demonstrations. We were using it in classes
long before the "inventor" heard about our demonstrations and decided to
claim the process, without understanding the caveats..

an unnecessary expense and didn't want to deal with the byproducts.
The small amount of biodiesel I will need for start-up and shut down
I can make with the Dr. Pepper method. If you do decide to run on WVO
the main things you will need to do are.
