Hi! Fabricator. I'm sorry you had to see my white chicken legs on you-tube. I have the 3 videos by "Aaron" of the metro 6/1. One it is running in my garage, (the one with the checker board floor)

I bought mine on E-bay from Sam Crosby in Maine. The engine I have is an IDI (Indirect Injection) It will burn just about anything you put in it.   
 
Sam still has 6/1's on E-bay, I have been very happy with mine.

I think the 6/1 Jackson kit from power-solutions is an awesome idea also. It will save you some tear down time not that it is that hard anyway. 

I have built a small 8 gallon Bio-Diesel processor also.

Welcome to the forum!

 ;D I dont remember the chicken legs, I was to busy ogling the engines, the kits do look like a good deal, I am currently building my third bio processor this one will be able to do 250 to 300 gallons, I am currently researching the new dry wash systems, prolly gonna go that way this time.

Fabricator I was looking at the Bio-Diesel-svo forum and found you ;D.

I have been looking at Jetta TDI'S and found the site. I was doing some research on how a TDI likes Bio-Diesel.

$3.00 a gallon for gas is getting pretty old >:(

I pay over 4 dollars a US gallon and think you have very little to complain about....

OMG I've got a stalker ;D There are a lot of guys runnig bio in the TDI's, as long as you make good quality bio they love it, and at $0.90 a gallon and with those things getting 48 or 49 miles a gallon you can quickly save a mountain of money, my dad burns mine in a 99 mercedes E300, the thing purrs like a kitten and smell good too.

How much driving do you do in a week?

I drive maybe 300 km thats it. What I need is a buddy so I can brew and make it worth while.

Millage varries, in cold weather knock a 10 off that 50 mpg

  That's what made me finally quit smoking....it's a voluntary tax.  And THAT should be the ultimate oxymoron.

Hmmm, never thought of it that way, I'm gonna have to mention this to a friend who smokes, and is constantly griping about being taxed to much.
