I'm hoping to have space and time to set one of these up myself. I've heard there is some smell (stench) that goes with processing the mix. If so, how smelly is it=?. Will I get complaints from my neighbors, or just my dog?

Not smelly at all.......

System is sealed.

You don't smell the oil during the refining process.

No complaints yet.

My dog is always whining when food is around

The amount of stink [or stench] depends on the quality of the oil you use. Some used oil smells like, and looks like dog vomit, and other used oil smells like fries. You choose.

IIRC, Glycerin by itself is an excellent degreaser...

Yes it's an old post. Thanks for the bump, rekindled my interest.

Now if only I knew where to get Methanol in "La Belle Province"... "Je me souviens" pas pourquoi on ne peut pas en trouver (I can't remember why we can't get any here, been told "it's illegal to buy or trasnport without a hazardous chemicals permit"...

How do the backyard biodieselers do it?
