How long will it take to recoup my investment in a FuelMeister processor?
Your immediate savings per gallon will be approximately $2.75 $3.75 (typical petroleum diesel cost) minus the $0.50 – $0.90 cost to make your own biodiesel. When multiplied by your monthly consumption, you will know how many weeks or months it takes to recoup your investment in a FuelMeister II or FuelMeister II Dual biodiesel processor. If you are collecting used fryer oil from 6 restaurants and each one averages a 55 gallon drum of oil per month, you can make 330 gallons of fuel per month, 3960 per year. If you save $2.00 per gallon you will save $7920 per year. Think about your friends, neighbors, relatives and other diesel users that you know. They will probably be very interested in how you’ve cut your diesel and/or fuel oil costs and may want to participate with you in making biodiesel. Often you can “co-op” together with others to purchase your FuelMeister II, collect the oil, purchase the methanol and lye, and do the actual processing.
