Dear Santosh,

Try http://www.pcra-biofuels.org for info (though I am not sure if they will have it).

May be a bit late now, but I recently came across this biodiesel procedure and it specifically mentions Jetropha oil. But it looks like the standard process for any veg oil.

Seems that in some farm equipment Jatropha can be used direct with no other processing other than extracting the oil. This seems to be so with the Kubota and Yanmar single cylinder walk behind farm ploughs.

Any one with more details?

there is a good and genuine sight on this www.jetrophaworld.org process details available on http://www.svlele.com/biodiesel_process.htm

I'm looking try Jetropa oil, but I want to get as much info as possible.Just wanna ask, how do you guys deal with the crude glycerine waste? I read the article from Jayesh's suggested site and says there that biodiesel generates such waste.
