Thx keith I missed out the castor oil discussion last time.
Hello REXIS.
The castor oil is highly questionable as a raw material for biodiesel
production due to two important issues::
1) The biodiesel from castor oil will have a too high viscosity well
outside the specs.
2) The fatty acids of
fleet consists of a hundred farm trucks, a dozen sports cars,
and a first-strike pump.

Jatropha, being promoted as the perfect biodiesel crop by India, is

heavier compounds while releasing water.
Unsuitable ? Yes.
