Hello Tom, if your titration value is 1,9 , there is no need for additional treatment, since the acidic ions from the vinegar will be included in the titration value. However, you shoulddetermine the water content of the oil before processing it. A good value here is max 0,5%. Yes, you

 Thanks Jan for your reply. I will spend time trying to come to grips w. the chemistry. I sense that, once dried, this oil can be treated as any other WVO. Adjust amount of lye to neutralize acids present + 3.5g lye/L of oil. Any salts formed from reactions w. vinegar will wash out and not

It looks like the 2 year payback was talking about energy payback, not economic payback, which is what I and a few other list members were talking about before. Current PV technology also has about a 2 year (actually 0.75 to 4 depending on technology and framing options) energy payback. Actual

Propane injection is commonly used in diesel engines for adding spurts of horsepower. I think that the idea is that the diesel injection initiates the compression ignition as usual, but the propane in the air then aids combustion and flame front spread to make sure all of the diesel is burned --
