Weekend Project: Making Biodiesel (PDF)

Make your own backyard biodiesel. It's easy to make a small batch that will work in any diesel engine. You won't need any special equipment--an old juice bottle will serve as the "reactor" vessel--and on such a small scale, you can quickly refine your technique and perform further experiments.>br>

I love it when people scan articles into images and then paste the image into PDF. Can we have something readable?

Nice article, catastrofic quality

The project sure has lots of potential... however, the PDF is almost unreadable. Can you post it on a somewhat better quality? Thanks.
