If you're going to err, best to err on the side of caution.

That's not long enough, no matter how much agitation you use. Max
speed might not be the best. You'll find more information on this

I think that the oil should stay with the BioD that was produced
during the 5 minutes since little should have reacted. I guess the
best way to see if you are done is to take the top layer and react it
again for an hour or two and see if you get any more glycerin after
the alcohol is boiled off

Hi,
now I'm trying to wash my biodiesel. I'll mention the steps, because I
think I
did something wrong :)
Ok, the pH of the unwashed biodiesel was 12,12. I took 99ml of water and I
added 1ml of 96

Another thing: I took the pH of those white flakes from my 1st wash and
that seems to be 1,03. It seems that my 1st washing water was too acid, but
should this affect the washing? AFAIK the extra H+ and (SO4)2- will be
drained of

You said this:

This is with virgin rapeseed oil? pH 12 is too high. In your previous
message you said:
now I used the correct amount of NaOH and my 2nd batch seems to be
much better :-)
Why not tell us the whole story?
