I have re-reading the information at journeytoforever.org about making quality fuel ect... as a refresher before setting out to "make" my first 20 liter batch on the weekend. The methoxide is mixing as we speak in a closed carboy sitting in a cool dry place. It is the same oil I titrated for before so the precentages are a known factor. I quality tested it using the shake test and it came up great, so now on to better things (?) The question I am having relates to BD colour in the finished product. It seems that the finished BD should be something like straw yellow? Is this even with WVO ? I got that with fresh canola but not with any of the tests I have done with WVO, so am I fretting over nothing ? My main processor/wash tank unit is 99% done and I hope to finish it off too on the weekend and should this 2o liter batch go well I will then attempt a 100 liter batch using the "Appleseed" processor (with a couple mods) I made. And since pump washing gives a better result (it seems) I shall endeavour to do that as well, although the 0 liter batch will be stir washed with the same paint stirrer as I am going to use for the processing. I figure if it can take a pump it can handle a paint stirrer :) The test batches I am getting an amber colour to and all the other factors seem OK, so what is with the straw yellow thingy ?
