For me the white layer is non reacted saturated monoglicerides, diglicerides
and fat. I made a second step sterification and the layer did not formed
again.
It seems that more yield is get with a two stage process (using 60% and then
40% of methanol and soda) than a single step one.
That white
I attended a public forum
on Biofuels a while back. One of the speakers, the head ofa biodiesel
co-op, had me perplexed by his repeated assertion that biodiesel can be
usedin 2,5%, " even 10% or 20% blends", but above these levels
engine problems and gelling can occur. He had graphs
Tom,
I have a tank less hot water heater that I can easily adjust the temp from
100 to 176 F, I put the oil in a pete bottle, filled the sink with 176f
water and set the bottle in it. I checked it after a few minutes and it was
in the process of turning translucent. The next morning it had
In my opinion, that until the petroleum industry finds a way for them to regulate (control) biodiesel, they will use all at their disposal to keep the general public in the dark about the whole truth.Thomas Kelly [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:I attended a public forum on Biofuels a while back.
Well put. I wish I had your turn of the phrase.
I had actually dared hope that post Yassar Arafat and Ariel Sharon there

I went to Jamestown, Va. a few weeks back and researched where some of
my ancestors landed in 1617. Reading the history it's amazing

Hi Fritz,
Greetings and genuine warm thoughts. Sorry I appeared sarcastic. I've looked
again at what I posted and realise it could be interpreted that way. Apologies
for that.I'm afraid I gave in to my worst instincts. The Arab-Israeli
conflict always generates a kind of knee-jerk reaction
Luke,
The solid white layer is probably animal fat ... bacon grease?
As long as the petro diesel was winterized, my 70% BD : 30% petro
didn't gel even at temps of -10F (-23C). A friend of mine has an outside
storage tank and will go 50 : 50 BD to dino diesel.
I think you can use
Hi Luke,
I get oil like this from one of my suppliers. I don't get the black sediment
layer but I do get two distinct layers even after thorough dewatering. The
upper layer is clear oil while the lower layer is caramel coloured and about
as solid as soft butter. When it was warmed up, it would
Bob,
Thank you for the explanation. I don't know much about the Middle East
and the conflicts there so this was quite enlightning. I have heard
that one of the root causes was when a forefather of Saddam took hold of

Jews.
