You can use the glycerine byproduct to make soap. It is quite cool to know that every part of the oil can be used for something. I would like to make it but I have no use for it as I do not have a diesel.



Glycerine was the word i was looking for. I took a gamble and lost!

Anyway, I'm gonig to start manufacturing bio-diesel and soap, then change my name to tyler durden - WAIT! I'm not supposed to talk about fight club!!!
