Hello Jason and Kate, the reason for this is simple. The castor oil (unlike most other vegetable oils) is ethanol soluble. This means that most other oils will not do the trick. With best regards Jan Warnqvist AGERATEC AB [EMAIL PROTECTED] + 46 554 201 89 +46 70 499 38 45 - Original Message

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

Hello Dana, you will have full lubricity properties if adding 5% of SVO or BD to the diesel oil. But, BD is preferrable due to the coking properties of the SVO. I would suggest a BD with a high content of olelic acid e.g. from canola ,soybean or sunflower oil. With best regards AGERATEC AB Jan
