I dont think the excise on biodiesel comes in until next year or 2011. Could be wrong though.

Nah the excise applies, homebrewers are supposed to remit excise to the ATO on what they produce for their own consumption. I doubt anyone processing it for themselves actually would, but thats the legality of it.

Just found this on the ATO website.

"The cleaner fuels grants scheme provides for the payment of a grant for eligible cleaner fuels manufactured in, or imported into, Australia. Biodiesel and biodiesel used in blends must meet the biodiesel fuel standard to be considered eligible cleaner fuels.
Currently the grant will offset the excise and customs duty ($0.38143 per litre on all biodiesel) payable provided the biodiesel or the eligible biodiesel component of a biodiesel/diesel blend meets the fuel standard. In this case the net effective excise rate will be zero."

I've bought a few things off this Scintex business, pretty good to deal with, they've got some nice gear. I can't say I agree with their sprooking techniques
Do you dry wash or wet wash :?:
Ultrasonic reactor :?:
Fully automated or manual system :?:
Home put together or retailer bought :?:

I want to get a fully automated, dry wash with ultrasonic reactor but the only place i have seen anything decent like this is America and after you import them the fuel cost savings are negated for quite a few years excluding repairs and maintenance to the system.

I got my processor from that Scintex croud; www.scintex.com.au
I also use their drywash product, makes it so much easier I reckon
I thought about building my own setup, to much stuffing around, got the complete package off them, it came with everything needed, got straight into producing.

Yes I believe you probably are suppose to pay tax on the fuel if your using on government roads, if anyone asks me I'm using on my mates farm...

What do you filter your dry wash down to?
Have you ever blocked any fuel filters or injectors?
