Apparently theres a garage in aston that sells bio diesel, down by aston cross, opposite the merc dealership. (I think thats the 3 year old post you referred to?)

Google also reckons that te garage on Farndon Road does.

cheers i'v been on that site before and forgot about it, i think it's cos they still have greener fuels in there listing and i know that's not in production cos i worked there a couple of months back beginning to install a new setup before they went bust (or so i heard)

are you after proper biodiesel or filtered and de-watered wvo?

if its the later then get yourself onto the wvo forums as there will prob be someone close to you willing to supply you pretty cheap.

if the former, good luck there aint many.

not many will admit to it because making biodiesel at home is tax free upto 2500 litres where as making it for sale means you get taxed up the yingyang if you do it legally.

So of course no ones going to advertise illegal biodiesel sales.

Also unless you know the supplier well, i wouldnt trust so called biodiesel to be properly filtered to remove the methanol and glycerine.

If youve got the space for a shed in your garden then do your own. only a Few hundred quid to set up.
