Fair go Pedro, you want all my secrets. I recently described a process to convert the foots from a palm oil refinery to good quality bio. The foots are the result of taking the entire waste stream, as soap stock, and performing an acidulation process. This results in a lot of phospholipids and

Tom Ed, Bio-D has too high a specific gravity to wick any farther than perhaps 1.5 in height. When the fuel level reaches this distance below the combustion point, the wick begins to burn and the lamp extinguishes itself. This is why I was asking about Argand lamps last week. They were

Tom, We've tried blends of biodiesel with distillate lamp oil and found the result to be the same as with straight biodiesel - insufficient wicking properties. Have not tried any other dilutants as of yet. Biodiesel will dissolve in large amounts of methanol. It might do the same with ethanol.

I would think you should be able to find a Rayo lamp in an antique store fairly easily if you want to try the Argand style lamp. It has the circular wick and the hollow tube running down thru the fuel bowl, preheating the fuel and providing more oxygen. Many of them have been converted to

Yes, in a rather round about way. My father is a Citrus grower in Orange County Florida. For his tractor's, he still uses three old D.O. model Cases he bought back in the late 1940's. They were designed to run on what was called tractor fuel which was a heavier mixture than gasoline
