Contact Darren who seems to be a guru at the Melbourne biodiesel club (melbournebiodiesel.org) or through: http://www.biofuelsforum.com/melbourne_biodiesel_users/. You'll get lots of help!

I started off with virgin oil, then i went across to waste oil. I'm not in production yet, i have only done test batches, so i am by no means an expert, but you'll get the hang of it.

Argh!
My little white car of hope is looking even further away from running, or rather the one I was going to buy from the gold coast secretly is looking further away, the guy selling it rang me to say his other car isn't going too well and he wants to hold onto the golf for a few months or something, and do i want the deposit back... but I wouldn't be surprised if someone else is trying to buy it instead... because he didn't seem to be eager to sell me the two engines in part he has... argh! no fair.

You cant fanny around with the cheapo bargains. You need to be there quik as with the $$$. Get the money then ring him up and hassle him.

Richard has, he might give me the engines for free, but wants to hold onto the diesel car for a while while his other is not working....
(sigh)
I degreased the white car of hope, I don't see how the tools I have seen on here can be used to hold the cogs steady while the head is removed, so I think I'll make some clamps at tafe to my own design as i can't understand the other designs...

Make up some tools, then I`ll come and pull the head off with you.
I thik you need a pin for the pump and a flat bar with a notch out of it???
I`m not a diesle head, so dunno really.

Hi Matt!
Cool! I am just going to look at it and make a bunch of clamps at tafe to keep both cogs steady, and also something so I can clamp the timing belt itself to stop it coming off the driveshaft at the bottom, as I can't see how to remove the cover, and don't need to I expect... so i'll make stuff at tafe tomorrow.
