I had the honor of photographing Jack Jones "Old Style" biodiesel processor one day. The pictures below are from that trip. Several of the pictures still apply to how biodiesel can be made using an "Appleseed" Water Heater Based processor, but the bulk of the pictures were taken of the actual biodiesel processing equipment used. Since this trip, Jack built and successfully brewed biodiesel in an "Appleseed" Style Biodiesel Processor.
You can see pictures of his Appleseed by clicking here.
