I was trying to figure out why the Chinese came and got him, then I figured it out.

"...but this will typically knacker the engine in short order."

Knacker. What a great little word. I will try to use that today...

That headline looks like it was written by the Chinese.

"Drilling" for biodiesel can be hazardous. Anyone using an electric drill to mix oil and methoxide is asking for disaster.

I know, I refine my own and run as high as B100 or as little as 100% petrodiesel, according to my ability to process the crud oil. I try to make it a policy NEVER to start any electrical device when the methanol or meth and NaOH are open and my home-built processor is the closed "Appleseed" that mixes in a closed loop recirc pump.

I'm gonna brew up another batch tonight.

Sure the poor fellow was burned and his garage destroyed, but think of much he saved on biodiesel!

A devastating explosion levelled the makeshift reprocessing plant on Saturday afternoon, when sparks from an electric drill being used to mix ingredients ignited explosive vapours.

Not too smart on a couple of fronts. First, he should have have adequate ventilation for his project, and second, you don't use an electric drill, especially one that sparks (!) to mix the lye and methanol with the cooking oil. It's a dangerous process, and you have to study the correct procedures for making biodiesel and follow all necessary pre-cautions to keep things like this from happening.
