In Response To: Re: Biodiesel (Rawleigh)

Probably not a great idea in colder water. The grease needs to be warmed before it will burn. On a hot day, it's probably 75º in my bilge. That would mean a fuel heater....

There are other issues too. Like clogged filters from 30 year old fuel tank sludge, and certain waxing issues.

I'd stay away from it. There are already enough things that can go wrong 100 miles off shore.
