Re: [biofuel] Digest Number 936/isopropanol

The reason that we use isopropyl alcohol in the titration portion of the biodiesel prpcess is that isopropyl will not react substantially with the vegetable oil or the indicator, thus giving you a repeatable result.If you want to see what a titration yields with an alcohol that does react, use

Re: [biofuel] Religion ( was More free energy )

The basic problem is religion itself. Religions are sets of rules made by man and have very little to do with a personal relationship with the almighty God. Islam and Christianity are both children of Judaism, only with different messiahs (Mohammed or Yeshua). I'm sorry I don't have time to go

I can't help but wonder at what would happen if all automakers chose to boycott CA for 2 weeks to a month? I'm thinking that bill would not go very far. Greg H. - Original Message - From: Keith Addison [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com Cc: biofuels-biz@yahoogroups.com Sent:

[biofuel] SVO vs emissionsdiesel engine

Hi, I was helping to analyse an inedible oil grown in India, localy known as Karanj, Honge oil. In India the scietists are using this oil directly to run diesel engines. They heat this oil upto 175 degree F, to reduce the viscosity to 15 centipoise. I was told that using unesterified

[biofuel] ethanol and carburetors

I've got a carbureted 86 Ford E-150 v6 and I'm looking into what I could do to help its emissions (this is in California) Would a significant proportion of ethanol as an oxygenate present a problem for the carburetor, since the air/fuel mixture would have to change? That would clean up the

[biofuel] Price of Ethanol

For several years now I have been saying on HIPC, and now here, that I think a major failure of ethanol proponents, including the RFA (who have done a decent job on some things), has been a failure to make ethanol pricing available to the general public, to make it *freely* available, as are the
