"There is hardly a product of our culture that someone cannot make a little worse and sell for a little less, and the one who puts price above all other considerations is the natural prey of this man." John Ruskin (1819-1900) |

Where to obtain your chemicals
We now offer the chemicals needed to process your biodiesel in our Online Store. We can have them Drop Shipped right to your door.
Lye (NaOH) or Sodium Hydroxide - Lye used to be commonly found as Red Devil Lye and can still be found in many places. But they have discontinued production of Red Devil Lye, so it is getting harder to find. But there are other sources for Sodium Hydroxide. Try the local chemical supply store, (look under 'Chemical Suppliers' in the phone book). I discussed LYE all through my book, but just because that has been the common catalyst. But using KOH flakes can be easier, so you might want to use KOH instead of NaOH. Note that Lye is much slower dissolving than KOH. Visit our online Methanol & Catalyst Store for details. This is the catalyst we currently use. You can usually find this at the local chemical supply company in the phone book. Or sometimes at a farm & ranch type store. Visit our online Methanol & Catalyst Store for details.
We currently get our methanol from the same place we get our KOH from, the chemical supply company. Methanol is commonly available at racetracks sold as racing fuel. We have bought it at a local go-kart track (professional karts). But you might find it at a dragstrip, circle track, etc. Or call you local auto parts stores, or engine builders, hot rod shops etc, and ask if they know where you can buy methanol. Or for the simplest method, visit our online store where you can order your chemicals and we'll have them Drop Shipped right to your door. Visit our online Methanol & Catalyst Store for details.
