If you live in the UK 10 years ago - then this book is great! Otherwise, this is not the book you need. I returned it promptly.

Fantastic DIY Fuel recipe by Steve Spence (Winthrop, NY United States)  5 Stars
September 04, 2005
The instructions are clear for making your own diesel and home heating oil substitute, and the background chemistry is clear and precise. Now you not only know how to make it, but what that stuff is. Safety steps are simple and organized. This is a good one.

Written in 2002 in U.K. by Jim Kinney (Madison, WI)  2 Stars
July 28, 2005
Even though the book shows a published date of February 2005, the writing in the book keeps referring to 2002 as the current date. The book is also written by people in the U.K. for people in the U.K. The parts I did read also left out important data, such that by using canola oil, nitrogen oxides actually decrease. Certainly most of the book has useful information, but for the reasons mentioned, I would recommend to keep looking for a book for the American audience.
