I've got some I made three years ago, and it's still fine. It's generally said it should be used within six months, but that's erring on the side of caution, IMO - if you store it properly it'll last longer than that. Only one month is certainly wrong. Keith it would depend on the

Might be useful to get the last fraction of biodiesel out of the soap layer quicker. I've seen a 55 gallon barrel filled with nothing but this layer exude ~5 gallons of biodiesel after sitting for several months. The better trick is to not produce any soap at all, or nearly no soap. This

Probably a silly question, but I haven't seen anyone mention using a centrifuge-type device (like an old-fashioned cream separator) to pull the biodiesel from glycerine and soaps. Anyone tried this? Yes. Have a look in the archives. http://archive.nnytech.net/ Keith
