Folks,
I live in Ivy. I have a 2001 Golf TDI and I would love to be able to
be set up to just do 5-10 gallons weekly. I just need help gettiing
started to figure out where to buy the stuff needed, see the process
in action and build something I can do on this small scale.
So who with some of this knowledge is going to schedule a Saturday
morning for a get together to make our first batch?
Thanks
-Neil
