How to Make Biodiesel
Learning how to make biodiesel is an easier process than many people think. There are many ebooks and websites which will teach you how to make biodiesel in your own home.
Below is a list of ebooks and sites that will teach you how to make biodeisel at home, ranked from best to worst (though none of them are actually bad).
**UPDATE**
I just got off the phone with my brother, who told me that he received a $250 gas station gift card in the mail for some marketing promotion he participated in. The link he used for the promotion is: Free $250 gas card!. Anyway, I thought it might be good for those who want to drive on petro diesel in the winter, or who are lucky enough to live near a station that sells biodiesel.

How to make biodiesel video on YouTube
There are many videos describing how to make biodiesel on YouTube, but this is by far the most informative. It's kind of long, though, but make sure you watch through the first four minutes, as that is when the most useful information is given.
Making Biodiesel at Home
A walkthrough of the steps for making biodiesel at home, and driving your car for 65-75 cents/gallon. June 2008 update from the guy who makes this in the video - "methanol is $3.95 a gallon now, pushing my per gallon price to around $1 +/- .05 depending on yield and lye."

Biodiesel Brewers Guide
Comes with over 200 pages and 300 photos
COST: $29.95The Biodiesel Brewers Guide is a two manual set; one manual details how to make biodiesel (better than almost any other manual I've seen) and the other is a set of instructions for building an Appleseed Processor. If you order the Appleseed Processor kit from b100supply.com they will include these manuals, or, if you've already purchased them, they will deduct the price of the manuals from your processor order.
The Biodiesel Brewers Guide covers the following topics:
*Appleseed Processor assembly instructions
*Wash tank assembly instructions
*Testing procedures
*Advanced processing methods
*Advanced washing methods
*Waste stream management
*Also includes a glossary of biodiesel terms and MSDS sheets for some of the chemicals you'll be using to produce biodiesel
These instructions on how to make biodiesel were put together by some of the most well-known homebrewers. They are straight-forward, very detailed, and are backed by a company that has one of the best reputations in the biodiesel homebrewing community. Rest assured that when you purchase the Biodiesel Brewers Guide you are getting the best instructions on how to make biodiesel. For these reasons, the Biodiesel Brewers Guide gets my top recommendation among biodiesel ebooks.

The Rise of Biodiesel
This book goes beyond just how to make biodiesel and discusses many important global biodiesel issues
COST: $19.95The Rise of Biodiesel is a wonderfully-written eBook that goes beyond simple instructions for making biodiesel at home. It is an eight chapter book that discusses such topics as:
* What exactly is biodiesel, and where can I buy it in the U.S.?
* Can I make it myself, and what do experts say about brewing your own?
* What are the benefits and risks of using it?
* Can I use it in my diesel-powered car or truck without hurting my engine?
* What are long-haul truckers saying about biodiesel?
* How can using biodiesel help with global warming?
* What's this I hear about using algae or garbage to make biodiesel?
* How can biodiesel help third-world countries alleviate poverty?
I really like this eBook because I think it is important to understand the global impact of increasing biodiesel consumption.
In addition to the eBook, you also get a 10 part ecourse on how to make biodiesel. For only $19.95, The Rise of Biodiesel is a wonderful value.

Biodiesel: The Definitive Guide
A new product on the market that offers a lot of value for a very small price
COST: $27, but is currently on sale for $17Biodiesel: The Definitive Guide was just recently released, and contains information such as:
*How to create biodiesel step-by-step, laid out in easy to follow stages.
*The safety precautions you must not forget to take. Follow these instructions and you'll be fine.
*Why biodiesel isn't the same as raw vegetable oil. It sounds simple but the if you don't know the subtle differences in the process you'll fail. (You absolutely must have complete conversion of your oil and sodium methoxide or you've ruined your batch.)
*The major advantage in using biodiesel...simple things that you've probably overlooked!
*How to save serious amounts of money each year.
*The tools and accessories that you simply can't be without - and where to get them (clue - your local hardware store will have them all!)

Though this is a new product it is getting good reviews and is currently the cheapest eBook on the market. Plus, Biodiesel: The Definitive Guide comes with a 30 day guarantee, which you can take advantage of if the information isn't up to your standards. I definitely think it's worth taking a look at.
