GBMUD Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I have been trying to contact http://www.biodieselsoutherncounties.com/ this morning but their telephone does not seem to be working - number not recognised. Does anyone know them, are they still trading? I have to go to Witney later and that means almost passing them so I might, at last, get some proper bio-diesel in the tank.

GBMUD Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Just in case anyone was wondering, no, they are not still in business. At least, not in those premises. I had to make do with mineral diesel at a very (reletivly) reasonable 96.9p/l from a garage in just outside Swindon. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Chris, If you're seriously interested in making your own biodiesel, there's a one-day workshop in Bath as part of the Bath Fringe Festival(!) on that very subject: "Make your own bio-diesel" Bring along your own chip fat and turn it into useful, friendly bio-diesel. Members of the Oxford collective Goldenfuels will demonstrate the conversion of vegetable oil to fuel suitable for most diesel engines. A day long practical workshopin which all safety, legal, economic and environmental aspects of using bio-diesel will be explored. This workshop is designed to be accessible to anyone interested whether you're just mildly alarmed by the effects of global warming, or seriously considering setting up in production yourself. Diesel fuel made today will be ready for use at Walcot Independence Day. Location: Godwin and Godwin Wine Warehouse, Kensington, Bath. Registration at 11am, workshop 12 - 5pm. www.littlefiets.com for more info (although I can't see anything on there!). Enrolment £10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbocharger Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Sorry, just found the mag again. Because I'm too stupid to put the date in the same post as the details, location and cost: IT'S ON THE SIXTH OF JULY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
