SHEFFIELD-based Bio UK Fuels is offering householders in Yorkshire and Derbyshire a way of making their own environmentally-friendly diesel fuel for just 30p a litre.
Bio UK Fuels was set up on the Newhall Industrial Estate in Attercliffe two years ago to make biodiesel from waste cooking oil and continues to sell directly to the public.
Now, it has become one of ten UK distributors of a domestic processor called the FuelPod, made by Europe's largest biodiesel equipment supplier, Gloucestershire-based Green Fuels.
The basic FuelPod can produce 50 litres of biodiesel a day, which can be pumped straight into a vehicle. Green Fuels has also developed a bigger FuelPod which can produce 100 litres a day, for heavier fuel users.
Bio UK Fuels says cooking oil is available for collection free of charge from wide ranging catering outlets and reckons the costs of buying a FuelPod can be recouped within as little as two year.
The Sheffield firm is also offering to rent FuelPods out for trial periods and is arranging a series of demonstrations.
Anyone wanting to attend a demonstration or get more information about the system should call Bio UK Fuels, tel: 0114 244 5603.
