Explosion proofing. I avoid all these safety problems by running on SVO but thought this might help those folks making BioDsl. The best explosion proofing is to have no open sparks. No ignition-no explosion. Hermetically sealed electric motors are usually expensive ,save for one

Hi - It is not magic, it is at least and probably more natural than biodiesel (with its usual 20% or so usually natural gas-derived methanol 'content'), and it is made by a reputable, long-established company that also makes methyl ester and many other fuel and lubricant products including

Dear Edward, In general, my personal attraction to biofuel is the independance it gives those who have the will and resources to make it, as compared to its potential as a widespread (global) replacement for gasoline or diesel, which I personally believe is limited. With this in mind, what

Hi Anton An acquaintance did a test and got about %4 back from a batch using %16 methanol. I assume then that the bd reaction only uses 10-12 percent. Other sources confirm that - but, unless you have a very well controlled set-up, as in a lab, you need to use the extra to get your reaction
