 Do It Yourself Guide to BiodieselMay 04, 2008
By mark twain
I also felt this book was hard to follow. Purcella left out some details (because he wants you to send more money for the real info) while extolling the virtures of the system he sells. It seemed that I paid to recieve advertising for the plans he sells.

 Reads like a website forumApr 07, 2008
By Jason W. Stone
This was hard to follow. Seems like he went into too much detail for individual stages before giving the larger hows and whys. I bought this and William H. Kemp's book to get figure out what was involved with making biodiesel. This book's first chapter gives you the normal propaganda that you must have seen already to look at this book and review. The next chapter goes into detail about approaching and selecting restaurants for waste oil and how to pick it up and details of how to test it. Woah, I'm not there yet! For double the price I say go for the 5 star book instead Biodiesel Basics and Beyond: A Comprehensive Guide to Production and Use for the Home and Farm. This Do It Yourself Guide was shorter but somehow harder to get through.

 Do it yourself guide to BiodieselSep 23, 2009
By W. M. Carlile
Well written and easy to understand. Gives a thorough review of several methods and several products available and lists some web sites for further investigation. For a 50 year old who purchased his first diesel auto, this was a great find!! At this point, I am not sure if I will begin making biodiesel but if and when I do, this guide is a perfect starting manual. Asks questions, answers questions and presents different viewpoints and options. Truely worthwhile investment with many formulas, graphs and charts....Mike C. Wisconsin

Technical Aspects Well ResearchedAug 21, 2008

My career requires that I read a lot of technical material and Guy's book is one of the most thorough that I have had the pleasure of reading. How great that we "Do It Yourselfers" have such a complete guide to help us accomplish our goals of reducing our carbon footprints.

By Carla Kodet
This technical manual is easy to read and understand and gives the novice all the information needed to understand the process. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the biodiesel process and how it works.
