Troubleshooting Homebrew Biodiesel Woes

Back by popular demand--more biodiesel know-how. Our homemade biodiesel articles have attracted a lot of attention, and of course, along with that, lots of questions. One of the biggie questions folks have involves troubleshooting when things go wrong. And lots can go wrong when making biodiesel, especially when patience and caution go by the wayside.

For the budding "homebrew biodieseler" in you, we've put together an article that explains the common problems encountered during the process. And happily enough, we've provided solutions and "watch out fors" to make your fuel brewin' experience just a wee bit more enjoyable.

Fire up a batch, and if you have problems, click to our Biodiesel First Aid e-pamphlet and get back on track.
