Allow me to test that biodiesel for you
While biodiesel is cool (and according to the article below you can drink it…eeewww) manufacturing is still not 100% there. So here comes the handy home biodiesel test:
Biodiesel is sort of like buying cheese. Some of it is fantastic, and some isn’t so hot.
Enter the pHLip, a testing system from CytoCulture, which specializes in oil spill technology. Place a few drops of the biodiesel you are thinking of buying into the vial, shake it up, and then let it stand. If the fluid on the bottom stays cherry red, you have yourself good biodiesel, says Randall von Wedel, principal researcher at the company.

Okay, one problem that I see is how are you going to do this at the gas station? I see this is better for a local operation, but still a great thing.
