I did notice that a lot of the chemistry in the book was wrong.
His main argument seemed to be against losing the energy in the
methanol that was washed out. He does recommend not using BD with
certain types of tubes, as the methanol will destroy it.
Because of the

I read the site, it almost sounds too good to be true. It also

Hello again Doug.
The forming of FFA in the presence of water is an auto-catalyst process,
meaning that the more FFA:s there are, the more rapidly the further
production of FFA:s. This is due to the fact that this is an acid-catalyst
reaction which will continue for as long as there is water
Hi Ian,
Solidification is generally a bad thing to have happen to your BioD. Solid BioD doesn´t flow so your engine cannot start. Although it is possible that it might store for longer periods of time. That idea just popped into my head. I have no idea if it´s true but it would make sense as

Thanks for the tip. We tried it and without stirring, there were clear
yellow deposit on the bottom. The biodiesel did not disolve fully in the
methanol like you said. So does this mean the next time I do another batch,
I have to increase the methanol to the sodium? Any suggestion?
Hi,
for Belgium you can find prices on http://www.brandstofprijzen.be/ (in Dutch).
On the main page you can find the current prices at the pump.
These prices are the maximum prices as decided by the government.
