Does anyone know of the HP and TQ specs on the chrysler 2.8 diesel? I may have to look them up I guess.

Don't worry Steve, I'd only run nice smelling biodiesel on the trail.

Edit to add: In the liberty, 160 hp 295 tq. Fuel economy of 22 miles city and 27 miles highway.

I was thinking of getting this and going biodiesel eventually. Thanks for the specs, I just know its the 2.8L turbo diesel that was in the liberty from '05-'06. I already have a diesel F250 and thinking about making my own bio diesel anyway. Just need to see how I get started on it.

I've done quite a bit of research on this and also plan on doing it eventually. Here's a blog entry I did that might help you get started.

Basically one part methanol to 5 parts veggie oil. Then you add either Sodium Hydroxide or Potassium Hydroxide as a catalyst in the right amount. The only trick now is scaling it up.
I'm really wanting to do this because I do chemistry all day at work anyway.

Here's a link for you Tenikiwon....

They have how to make and how to build a processor to make about 20-50 gallons a day. I'm shooting for 20 which is more than enough. I want to be up and running by the end of the year but I need to do more research. Gotta find a methanol source and sodium hydroxide source.

I know sodium hydroxide (caustic soda also known as lye) can be found in cleaning aisle of some stores with the drain opener
I guess with free waste veggie oil and all the ingredients together it will cost me about 60-80 cents a gallon.

Beats 4 bucks by far. Even if I buy the oil new at Costco for 1.36 a gallon I'm still at about 2 bucks a gallon but it would be funny to see me taking 2 shoppings carts full of oil out the front door. LOL
