All you need is some vegtable oil(cooking oil), methanol(yellow bottle of HEET), and some lye(like your grandmother used to make soap), and some heat to speed things up.

The best site to find out about everything is the Biodiesel & SVO Discussion Forums at http://biodiesel.infopop.cc/6/ubb.x?a=cfrm&s=44760951

When searching, the JTF site comes up most often, but it's info is either outdated or simply incorrect.

Mixing a bunch of other ingredients does not produce BioDiesel.
It might burn in your engine, but it is not legally recognized as a fuel. It won't pollute less. I wouldn't trust it to not damage any of my engines.

You can process gallons batchs of BioDiesel by hand and use it for an lubrication improving additive. 2-5% does wonders with this ULSD crap we have to use now in everything that wasn't designed for it.

I could go on for hours, weeks.

Goodluck

[QUOTE=kkocher13;157778] Progress made.......Yet I still think it turns too slow.... does anyone have any more suggestions... [/QUOTE]

I just got my D1850fd, had to pull it(4th gear) to check it out. Seller thought the solenoid was bad. We made the deal, I took it home and started working on fixing the problem.

Had juice everywhere, but when turn the key to start-nothing.
Tapped starter & solenoid-nothing.
Took starter in, they said it was like a new one.
Battery charger on boost-no good. Battery fully charged.
Cleaned battery posts-nothing.
12.5 volts at the starter.
By-passed the ignition switch with a push button - nothing.
By-passed the clutch switch - nothing.
Used screwdriver to activate the solenoid-nothing.
Took starter off again, wire brushed the contact surfaces and bolted it back on - click, click but starter didn't even begin to spin.

Found an old negative battery cable long enough and still in good shape, unhooked the positive cable(battery & starter), connected the replacement hanging out around everything.

EUREKA!! It fired right up.

I bought a new one the right size, snaked it around and in where it was supposed to be, heat shrink tubing at the rub points, new corrosion pads and petroleum jelly on the battery and I won't have to worry about it now for years.

The old one had so much corrosion on the copper wire inside the factory lead clamp and on down into the insulation that it couldn't carry enough amps to do the job. Yet it didn't really look too bad.

Goodluck with yours, it will really feel good when you get it going.
