How do you make Biodiesel?!
..
How expensive is the equipment?

It's not very difficult, but sourcing larger quantities of vegetable oil cheaply isn't easy these days.
I don't really know how much it would cost today to build a reactor. If you're technical, you can build a reactor out of scrap. If you can weld, you can make a better one. I think the hardest part is just sourcing reliable used fryer oil from restaurants.
Unfortunately, all the best resources online are dead now and the remaining ones are bad. How the hell is Journey to Forever still up, but Biodiesel.infopop.cc is down? You can probably still get all the info from Waybackmachine.
Tried the wayback machine.

Wtf is going on here?
Works for me. I'm not even logged into Internet Archive.
Are you using a VPN? Maybe it was one used in that DoS attack from last year?
