Is there anyone here from the central valley?  I see a lot of people here from the east coast, bay area, what about the central valley?

 Im not sure about here, but there's a NorCal list that includes lots of people from around Sacramento and a few from elsewhere in the Central valley:

 I'm setting up a company for commercial production of biodiesel and biodiesel agricultural smudge pots in the Centrail Valley.I'd be interesting is discussing your plans and ways we might work together if you were interested.

Terry,

I'm located in Tracy. I'm setting up a company to produce biodiesel in the valley. I'd be interested in talking with you about your project and ways in which we could work together.

Are you going to make a business out of it Edgbert or is this just homebrewing.  Most oil from resteraunts is spoken for here.  Little bear seems to be the dominant company here.

I'm planning on making a business out of it. I'm prepared to be both competitive and cooperative in WVO feed stock marketplace. I also think there's a secondary market in providing high quality refining processes to co-ops and communities who can produce feed stock but aren't necessarily well equipped to produce consistant high quality refined product.

I'm hoping to set up a network of local collectors/distributors ( not dissimilar to the concept of http://www.greasehaulers.com ) who act as collectors and local distributors for high quality B100 biodiesel in 5, 10 and 55 gal drums.

 By the way who is "little bear" I googled them but didn't find an obvious choice.

I could not find any links to little bear on the net, little bear is the company logo I see on lots of barrels, dumpsters around here.

I'm in Vacaville, just barely outside of the Bay Area.  I'd like to hook up with some folks interested in discussing forming a coop.

I am not from the central valley, but from Vacaville and interested in a coop or anyway to get Biodiesel.

Thank you

Okay, sorry I have not responded to this post recently.  I have access to around 300 gallons a week of oil if any one is interested.  Their is a reasonable price associated with it.  Let me know if you are interested

There is a coop in Atwater CA. About 60 miles north of Fresno.

I am moving to the Central Valley (Terra Bella, Porterville, Visalia) and would be interested in becoming one of your local collectors/distributors.  My education consists of a bachelor's degree and a master's degree and I have a variety of administrative and technical backgrounds.  Please contact me at d.risetter@yahoo.com  Thank you
