The federal government is very nicely asking Jake for the taxes which have not been paid on fuel he is using to drive over the highway system. I think there is an exemption for home made bio-fuels up to 49 liters/month, but I stand to be corrected.

Yep... have to start paying my way. Fair game... it'll still work out to under $400/yr.
Here's what they said:
A consumer who acquires motive fuel in the province other than from a retailer and the tax has not been paid, must report and remit the tax to the Department [Subsection 6(3) of the Act]. Therefore, as a motive fuel, the cooking oil that is consumed in your 1996 Jetta is subject to the provincial gasoline and motive fuel tax rate of $0.169 per litre. As a result, you are required to self-assess tax on the volume of the cooking oil and remit it to the Minister of Finance. Your tax payment (made payable to the Minister of Finance), along with a brief letter to account for the total volumes of motive fuel and tax due, must be provided to the Department on or before the 25th day of the month following the reporting period, which is done on a quarterly basis. Please note that the Department may change the reporting period based on the volumes of fuel reported and amount of tax remitted.
As for an exemption for home-made biofuels.. I haven't been able to find anything on that. If you know of anything, please pass it along. There are exemptions for propane, ethanol, electric etc... but nothing I can find for biodiesel or SVO/WVO.
