Hi Ken -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ken murphy Sent: 6. januar 2005 15:34 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Biofuel] storing vegetable oil Thanks Niels, How cold is cold? I live in a rather warm environment. Would 25 degrees celsius be cool enough? Sorry, I meant cool not cold(thanks Kemp for correction), so keep in shadow or as cool as possible. What do you do when you find a grease layer like the one you referenced. Is it difficult to rememdy? Didn«t do anything. It«s first time I noticed grease, and it was related to the 3 years old rape seed oil. In future I will avoid such old oil, and say max 1-2 years. Regarding seasonal considerations (cultivation) 1 year should be enough.

You will have no trouble in rotating a month's supply, once properly washed. There is some concern about bubbling for washing as air causes oxidation that could have a negative effect in long term storage, if I understand that correctly. I use an oscillating lawn sprinkler hung upside down and fed via a Pony Pump to wash and it works very well. How well will vegetable oil store? How is it done? Some have had success storing for several months. The usual prefered method of storage is in carboys. Fill to the brim so that there is a little air as possible and keep in a cool (not cold) dark place. Will new and Used oil store the same? Once processed into BD or before processing? Virtually any oil will keep almost forever if kept near or below freezing, but I don't know what the effect would be on storing BD in a frozen state for any length of time.

I don´t know the reason for that, but it has only been observed with very old VO like this. Maybe somebody here can help on this question.
