it's a total death trap! (has been talked about on the bio diesel forum before)

and that's coming from someone like me who's set fire to his factory 4 times now, fallen off the roof 3 times, broke my left arm, badly burnt my right hand, mangled my thumb in a band saw, 6 weeks later mangled  2 fingers in the same band saw, electrocuted myself numerous times (once while balancing on a latter, which was balanced on a pallet, which was balanced over a tank with 3000litres of boiling lard at 180'C in it) and erm... loads of other stuff :o

You missed out leaving cuts and wounds unattended to go septic so you end up in hospital with ballooning limbs. :thumbup:

That also seems like a lot more hassle than it could even be worth when it's quite easy to use regular WVO just by filtering it down enough.

Subtle - but possibly my favourite post of 2013 so far!!

you're right... add blood poisoning to the list x2

just infected doesn't count... give it a good squeeze to get the crap out, and/or antibiotics and it's no big deal :p


I think I need to get some more CCTV in... I'd make a fortune out of you've been framed :-o

I melted the wiring in the motor, then when I was replacing it I dropped the motor and damaged it... ordered a new one.... old one was 500watts but I ran it at 1500watts... new one is.... 7000watts stock but good for 10,000watts if I want.... :-)

it's the same as this one

I forgot my broken leg in the list above too, but that doesn't really count because it wasn't my fault ;)

lol @ cactus... no thanks :-o


but at the same time... I'm starting to think I should keep a photo blog, in the last 2 weeks...
stubbed my toe and broke it
stabbed a screwdriver into the flashy bit between thumb and index finger... went in about 15mm... can't grip anything
little finger nail on my left hand fell off
lifting the lid on the fat rendering tank last Saturday, my back spammed and left me crawling around on the floor, literally had to crawl over a big pile of fresh bloody meat to get to the tea room to sit down
and I have no idea why, but my right knee isn't working properly


I figure a photo blog is the only way I'll be able to explain to my grandchildren in 40 years time why I don't have any arms or legs :s
