Safety Tips For Making Biodiesel

It is true that many of the ingredients used in making this fuel are hazardous and toxic. They can cause severe burns when they come into contact with your skin and can be fatal when inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin. That is why making safety should be your first concern when making it.

Make sure that your gloves are not latex because that material will melt when it comes into contact with hazardous chemicals.
