You came to the right place. Methanol is not a good replacement from
my point of view, as current production methods use fossil fuels as
the source. Ethanol makes a good fuel, but requires major
modifications to the engine in order to be utilized properly. Still
worth doing IMHO, but not
Keith,
Sent the
following e-mail to Simon Wells the other day following your putting details of
his biodiesel mixer on the web but have not heard back from him. Would
appreciate yours, Steve Spences, or anyone else who is
knowledgeable comments. Thanks.

then my oil tends to be pretty solid and brown. I had to heat my

sounds like it wasn't heated long enough to drive of the water. not too

Hi David
I'm sure Simon will reply. If not I'll ask him. Terry de Winne

I just have to stir it like crazy and let it sit for a while... I
I have used the left over glyc as a parts cleaner/degreaser, and there is a
