The US Fire Administration has posted portions of a "non-sensitive Situational Awareness Bulletin" regarding biodiesel production, specifically homemade biodiesel. Targeted at first responders, note that the bulletin includes the following:
"The overall process [of making biodiesel] is legal and relatively safe when properly performed."
It goes on to list some of the potential hazards, and notes:
"If the [home] processors are not careful, they can poison or burn themselves, and modifications to pressure vessels by inexperienced people can result in possible explosions."
Thanks to
Hans Huth for the referral.
