Biodiesel & Alternative Fuels Forum This is a forum to discuss bio-diesel and other kinds of alternative fuels. We think bio-diesel is the next revolution as Hydrogen costs too much to make and putting food (Ethanol) in your tank is not feasible and will cause food prices to skyrocket. What say you on bio-diesel? Should we start this bio-diesel revolution and kick it into high gear?

Makes biodiesel at home to cut fuel costs

Mount Airy biz owner makes biodiesel at home to cut fuel costs

MOUNT AIRY — The high cost of diesel fuel has driven a truck hauler to take matters into his own hands to ensure his business and family's survival.

Evan Dorsey, who owns KMT Trucking, shelled out $4,495 for a home processor to make biodiesel fuel to run his truck.
Dorsey's business is hauling sand, gravel and dirt with a dump truck whose fuel tank holds 110 gallons. "At about $4.45 a gallon, the cost of diesel fuel is making it difficult to provide for my family," Dorsey said. "I have to find ways to cut costs to survive."
