...which is why Nobel(I think) -also- came up with a very unorthodox
method for moving the nitroglycerine around...small artificial
'streams' flowing in concrete channels, with the buildings+channels
arranged so that the stuff would flow from place to place via gravity.

Not to be confused with the stream of pentosin trailing down the driveway :-)

In any case, I think the whole concept of make-your-own-biodiesel is
incredibly stupid, when if you're willing to buy enough, you can
simply have it shipped to you.  Lye isn't exactly a safe chemical to
handle.

A bunch of TDI folk, from what I hear, have large tanks in their
garage and get regular deliveries.  Now THAT sounds like a MUCH
better idea.
