3 June 2005 - HSE Warn of Biodiesel Home
Production Danger
Navigation
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) are warning of the danger
to health and safety when the new synthetic fuel, called Biodiesel, is produced
in domestic situations.
The vegetable oil fuel can be purchased from some petrol
stations, but the concern of the HSE is one of the "homebrew" process and the
potential hazards involved.
These "homebrew" processes involves the use of hazardous
chemicals, which should only be processed under controlled conditions by
professional, qualified people.
A very informative webpage on the dangers and risks in the
processing of biodiesel, plus advice and information has been provided by the
HSE and can be accessed by clicking the following:
