How to make a small batch (around a liter) of biodiesel



Duration: 4min 3sec

Make your own backyard biodiesel. It’s easy to make a small batch that will work in any diesel engine. You won’t need any special equipment–an old juice bottle will serve as the “reactor” vessel–and on such a small scale, you can quickly refine your technique and perform further experiments.

There are a few videos in this post on how to proceed to the larger batches.
