When the Government scrapped tax on home biofuel production, little did they realise that the average consumer would stand to benefit by creating biodiesel in their own back garden for as little as 9p per litre - 90% lower than current average pump prices!
Oh yes, this is just brilliant as with the average car-owning family spending more on motoring than on housing, food and leisure, and the cost of standard diesel rising by 5.3% in the last year, this saving is set to transform the fortunes of motorists converting to alternative fuel.
This is all very well as long as motorist or DIY home fuel makers know exactly how to make biodiesel properly, thus benefit from the green incentive.
In fact, home produced biodiesel can be made to the same or better standard of equivalent industrially produced biodiesel.
In fact, motorists going down this route can save over £2,000 per annum.
But if in doubt, put a note in your diary to visit the Biodiesel-Expo in October, for a free exhibition held in Newark, Nottinghamshire. Here you will learn all aspects of making biodiesel and to evaluate all the suppliers of equipment.
Oh, just have a thought as you rush out to buy these hot tickets or to stockpile on chip fat, for the genuine chippy that really needs his/her weekly quota of chip fat to satisfy Britain’s love for their favourite food.
