Hi Sageman

My wife is Italian, but we live in the UK. We visit her family over there 2-3 times a year. As we often go by car, I have developed a this pet project of trying to use as much biodiesel as possible on the way there and back, and if possible while there (see previous post on this forum regarding online information sources I have found useful).

While not a problem finding filling stations with bd in Germany and most diesel in France being 5% bd, have drawn a blank regarding other countries I go through (Belgium, Switzerland, Italy).

I would be very interested in any information regarding the commercial availability of bd in Italy. Have found a website of a company in Italy producing bd in the town my wife comes from (Fox Petroli, Vasto, Abruzzo). I have not yet contacted them, but was hoping that I can send them an email and maybe arrange to visit the plant when over there during the Christmas break.

If you have any more advice, info, resources etc regarding bd in Italy, would be very interested in them.

Regarding my own bd efforts, I have made some small-scale test batches at home with a blender. Having used a variety of fats and managed to achieve consistent results, I am hoping to scale up at some point. Have got my father-in-law who used to work for AGIP but is now retired interested in the idea, so hoping he might see this as a nice retirement hobby and get involved. He has loads of production process expertise and know-how that would be great to tap into. Smile

I'll be travelling to Rome next month (September, or October), and would love to meet any biodieselers in the area.

Cheers,
