Small biodiesel producers are being made unviable by taxes unless they make millions of liters.
The ideal set up for biodiesel is one farmer making the stuff from his crops and supplying 4-5 neighbours with fuel but the govt dont see it that way.

You would think any govt would jump at the chance to eliminate fuel transport costs between the Middle East and your doorstep and at the same time be freed from the political turmoil that is the ME.

Im getting visions of secret stills with camo netting and cruisers gathering for a drink of the illegal stuff

The secret diesel ingredient ,Im not so sure about.
To fully convince me ,I would like to see some long term independant testing on a range of diesels.
The type of testing where they examine the engine , oils and filters before and after with a microscope.
However at the price therE is not much to lose
