BioDieselNow - Renewable biodiesel fuel

I am looking at getting into a home Bio system.  One of the kits I found was from a company called Beach BIO INC out of Florida.  I am wondering if anyone has had dealings with them and if they are legit.  Also, if their processor kits are worth the money.

Beach Bio Inc.

Office: 599 Bay Esplanad Suite A Clearwater, FL 33767

Warehouse: 22131 US Hwy 19 North Clearwater, FL 33765

Thank you,

 Do they have a site?

 They do, and they're using copyrighted material on it without permission - never a good sign.

HMMMMM....... Me Thinks Something STINKS IN Clearwater Fl. Go too Floridabiodieslinc.com Exact same processor different outfit? Sounds like they are building SHIT outfits takeing the customers money, customers complain want their money back! Company files for bankruptcy opens a new company with a different name. But what the heck that is just my thoughts......but then again the say ," One picture is worth a thousand words". Regards, Joe.D

Okay so i ma thinking they are not a good source to buy from.  However, if that one person who bought from them is out there and they are satisfied with the product please let me know.

Well, several days have gone my since you asked for 1 person who was satisfied to let you know, and no one responded.  I guess that's your answer!

A plastic processor with plastic plumbing is a dead giveaway that they are either uninformed or very careless.

They may just be renaming and repositioning themselves in the market. Floridabiodieselinc.com is new, as of '08, beachbio is of '05

I BOUGHT THERE SYSTEM. DIDNT RECEIVE ALL OF IT.CANNOT GET ANSWER AS TO WHY,HELL I CANT EVEN GET A RETURN CALL FROM THEM.HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.

JTC, Did you ever get an answer on your processor?

I ordered a kit from this company as well. it has been over three weeks and i have only received the tanks. i try to call and email the company with no response. i will keep you posted on the other shipments.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!

Hank, I got the pump and all the fittings but no tanks.    no response either to phone calls or e-mail.

oh yeah, here's another clue:

To clarify the above post, here is a Better Business Bureau report for Florida Biodiesel / Beach Bio:

http://westflorida.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Report.aspx?site=47&bbb=0653&firm=90046338

The BBB is not the be-all-end-all in detecting a good or bad business, but the lack of response by the company to BBB requests is notable. Given all the complaints, I've asked the site director to ban the Google-posted Beach Bio adverts from the site.

cool, thanks. I just don't want anyone else suckered in.

Both of these suspicious outfits have been added to our Black List:

floridabiodieselinc.com
beachbioinc.com

If anyone finds out if they're operating under any other banner or web-site just let us know.

quick update.

I have tried repeatedly to contact them and no response. I finally placed a dispute with my credit card to get a refund of monies paid. (PayPal sucks) I have a friend in the Tampa area and he went by the addresses listed on both sites: one is a bridge and one is an apartment complex. I have also contacted the Dept of Agriculture Consumer Services to place a complaint. It's where they have to get thier state license ( if they really have one..) Next step... IRS... 

 IMHO most of the ads that Google posts to the BDNow site ought to be blacklisted. What would it take to turn the site into an "ad-free zone", like it used to be?

I tried to check out Floridabiodieslinc.com , the search engine said no such address. I put www. before the address.

Does Florida Biodiesel, Inc. have a bad reputation that I'm not aware of, or are you see referring to something suspect on their site?

Has anyone had experience with Florida Biodiesel's other distributor, Sonic Biodiesel? http://www.sonicbiodiesel.com/
