Product Description
The Biobuddy 53 Gallon processors concept is based on value. It is not another processor pieced together at a hardware store, it was custom engineered and each part is molded with HDPE plastic (no rusting or corroding) and special additives to allow it withstand the high heats and chemicals it will be exposed to for years without ever letting up. Before choosing the pump in BioBuddy, we ran it dry 2 weeks straight to ensure it was worthy, therefore it has a 1 year unlimited use warranty. Before we finalized the base mold, we placed it under double the expected weight to ensure durability. We went above and beyond during all fazes of testing before offering this processor to the public with the highest confidence. Along with each processor, we will send you a manual with very detailed instructions on exactly how to make a batch from start to finish as well as many other general tips. On top of all this, if your located in the continental U.S. shipping is free! How BioBuddy works: Mixing the chemicals: BioBuddy is designed to self-mix all chemicals, ensuring maximum results with minimal effort. The catalyst can be added to the main holding tank and mixed in accordingly. Washing the fuel: Improve the quality of your fuel by removing any remaining sodium hydroxide, methanol and soap that has been left behind with the aid of the integrated wash nozzle. Drying the fuel: Any remaining water that is present will be evaporated into the atmosphere during this stage, ensuring water-free Biodiesel. Filtering the fuel: Finally, your new Biodiesel is filtered and polished to 5 microns. This stage of the process will remove any final remaining contaminants, likely to be trace elements. Pumping the fuel: Transfer your Biodiesel directly into your car, storage tank, or anywhere you like with the aid of the fuel dispensing nozzle - just like a petrol station!

This review is from: Biobuddy 53 gallon biodiesel processor
I have owned this processor for a few months and have run several loads of biodiesel. My cars have been running great on it, and it is both inexpensive and easy to process.Positives: Super easy & clean one piece design is great if you only need to run 35-40 gallons per day. Total processing time is about 4 hours (plus wash time), but it really only needs about 15-20 minutes of work per load. Steven @ BioBuddy has been very good to deal with, and has been very responsive to my questions.
Negatives: Not many... unless you want to process a couple 100 gallons at a time (which I admittedly would.) But, with an investment of 15-20 minutes of your actual time, plus a little time "babysitting", you can process enough to keep a family of cars running for a week on 100% bio. I have been mixing mine about 50/50 with petro diesel in our 2010 Audi A3 TDI, 2008 Mercedes GL320 and 2003 Chevy HD2500 Duramax.
A few things to watch for: (1) My machine was setup for 220 single phase power, which is basically the voltage of your clothes dryer. We had to rig a long extension cord for it. I'm not sure if this is the case with the newer machines. (2) I have also put the unit on a caster base so that I can wheel it in and outside easily for processing... which does make it easier. (3) The machine is a little bit vague on temperatures and volume (it really does not have an indicator for how much is in it, and while it says you need to get the mixture to a certain temperature, there is no temp gauge) these are both simple fixes... First, you make sure to get accurate measurements on your first fills and make the outside of the tank with a marker pen at the levels. I also plumbed in an auto coolant temperature gauge on the circulation stream. Easy improvements both.
Overall, a great machine
