With fuel prices rising and the environmental effects of motoring in the news almost every day, more and more people are taking charge of the situation and producing their own biofuels at home. This is the first in a series of posts aimed at helping you to understand what biodiesel is, and the processes involved in making it.

Happy Halloween from CFS!

At this spooky time of year, many people are carving pumpkins, attending Halloween fancy dress parties and taking their kids to the houses of unsuspecting neighbours demanding sweets.

Perhaps you have been getting in the haunting spirit by watching your favourite horror films (maybe from behind the sofa? - personally I prefer a blanket for protection), and wondering how they make those effects so scary?
Asylum has compiled a great guide to special effects and how they are produced.
