produce biodiesel. I am planning to run my first test batch very soon but I'm

Chuck,
There's no problem with any reviewer, save for those who are defficient in
their powers of discernment. The problem(s) lay with principle, or the lack
thereof - with the overly bloated price, its overly-hyped abilities and the
fact that for a complete system it is grossly under-equipped.
Hi:
If all posible please sent me the info also. I m on the same page as Eva.

Or directly into transesterification, but it seems only acceptable if FFA is
lower than 5% (but lower BD quality), it means you must use best quality of

yes, the yellow bottle HEET is perfect for making test batches of
biodiesel, thought it's too expensive for big batches. Iso-Heet is
isopropyl that's usually more reliably neutral than other forms of
isopropyl I've bought.

Flight, just because it's quick, certainly isn't energy efficient.
It takes a bit more fuel to propel a Boeing 727 (~152,000#s empty with
~58,000#s cargo capacity) and one pound of body fat through the air at
30,000 feet than it does to propel a 2,500 pound car (on the ground, of
course)
As I said, few are willing to give up this nasty habit, and everyone
has a reason THEIR trips are justified. Nuclear power is another
example. Few realize, or care, that there are already over 100
nuclear power plants churning out waste in the US now, and the new
energy plan includes many

I don't see where you are taking into account the number of people on the

It is presumed that the water-methanol mix that you are referring to is

None too sure as to the why of your previous problems. They've never

Canola isn't predominant in this region.
