By Joseph Then

I don't know a thing about you but I'll bet that you are feeling the pinch to rising oil prices too. It is so high that people are looking for ways to make a change to help them ease the burden. Well I think that the main problem is that most people use too much gasoline and they do not know how to minimize their gasoline usage.

Most people don't know this yet but there are alternatives to gasoline. An example of an alternative is biodiesel. Biodiesel is one of an alternative that has gained popularity since the gas price hike.

Biodiesel - Introduction

Biodiesel is all natural. What do I mean by that? Well, biodiesel is made from ingredients that are safe, renewable and clean. Biodiesel can be made on a large scale and also made at a small scale at the comfort of your own home.

How is Biodiesel Made?

Biodiesel is made using alcohol, lye and water. The ingredients are mixed together, allowed to settle and then the biodiesel is separated from the bi-product, glycerin, and can be used in any diesel running engine.
