well let me know as soon as you are!!
Scrounger, my understanding is as you say you can produce 2500 ltr / year duty free for your own use. You start selling it and believe you become a producer and don't benefit from the duty free element, I belive its 2500 ltr / premises and not person ie a family of four could not produce 10,000 ltr.
the other thing to consider if you haven't already is the stuff you get from the chippy might well be solid which introduces a whole new set of obsticles in terms of storeing it ie if you put it in your existing heating oil tank how will you get it out if its solid?
don't want to give all the trade secrets away.....
just been on a 2 day course basically aimed at using my processor efficiently. which includes the health and safety (don't forget your messing with some nasty chemicals), the operation of the equipement, tasting the oil prior to transesterfication and testing after to achieve a good quality end product. I would suggest even with good equipment (and I'd like to think what I have bought is good) you're looking at 8 hrs (plus settlement time) once you become competent and after lots of practice perhaps as little as 6 hours (plus settlement). oh and don't forget all the time and effort involved in getting the ingredient for the chemistry, the testing equipment, collecting of the oil etc.....
