Since were talking about beer, I can say that the" price head" is off the gallon of gasoline-for now. I think biodiesel is a joke. Everyone and there brother will stampeed for the 10gallons of  Mc Donalds french fry grease to fill there mercedies diesel fuel tank..At the trafic light, the pedestrian will say " smells likey yu got fries with that?"Just not enough bio to go around. Here is a source that may be more realistic. Many people are heating there home with home heating oil. This is basically diesel fuel without the road tax. Many are going to convert the furnace to natural gas.Thsy think it is much cheaper.This has been happening for many years, but never more so than now.The biodiesel source, is the fuel oil that is in these old storage tanks in the basement.Many hold 275 gallons. At the time of conversion to nat gas, these tanks must have the fuel pumped out, and the tanks removed.I think this fuel is considered hazardest waste, and is a pain in the rear for most HVAC
 companys to deal with.With winter coming, and furnace changout in top gear,why now approach some of these companys and have them let you pump the fuel out. You may even put one of these used 275 gllon tanks in your basement for fuel storage.Most times they cut the tank up with a sawzall and carry it out in pieces.How about a trailer with one of these tanks installed on it. Maybe a double decker tank for a years supply.Like those low rent babeacue people that convert these tanks for grilling(hope there were never any pcb in any of the oil) at area events.Just tow your storage tank to the site and pump.
