Membership

We are a group of West Australians dedicated to pursuing and promoting the use of renewable fuels for the benefit of all.
Most members run their diesel vehicles on Vegetable Oil sourced from local sources.
They make their own BioDiesel; or convert their vehicle to use the vegetable oil directly as fuel.

Meetings: Location:	Most often held on the Second Sunday of each month from 1pm to 4pm - check for the latest details below. Meetings are held to share information and knowledge - we call it chewing the fat. Some meetings are held at members homes and the venue is announced at the previous meeting and on this site. If you need to find out where the next meeting is, contact the committee members below. We hold a variety of meetings where you can learn about using renewable fuels in your diesel engined vehicle.
