Re: [biofuel] refined vs. unrefined rape-oil

Yes. Crude, degummed oil is what is sold by the tonne. That's from the crusher plant. I imagine it is filteres to soem extent but maye not to the level needed for fuel. There is also the heated seed market - seed that is not fit for high quality oil but would make good oil for fuel use.
