Harry, fascinating stuff. Where did you get your Australian info from? I
would love to see the reports. I have suggested to quite a few farmers that
the introduction od LSD ULSD is going to give us farmers a bit of trouble
based on every one elses woes, but no-one really thinks it will be a
Harry, I think you mentioned to me the islanders drive around their diesel
engined vehicles with local crushed oils with no need for conversion. What is
the FA profile for these oils?

G'day Camillo,
Thanks for the comments but can I ask the question
to push this, but I found adding 10% ethanol lowered cloud
point quite a useful amount, maybe more so in this case. It was 95%
ethanol, by the way.
Best

Bye for now,

Eric, why not try a hardware shop or a supermarket. You should be able to buy
caustic soda or Lye straight off the shelf. It is commonly used as a paint
stripper or a drain cleaner. Hope this helps

OK Edward, I've got a bit of time up my sleve. It has become to dry to

I purchased a P0015 lab press from Egon Keller Co for approx. EURO

one, tell Ulrich Steven said to look after you!!)

G'day Edward,
I am a farmer in Australia, and I have been producing BD for use on farm. I
have my own cold press and have built a processor. I am very interested in the
concept of running a diesel on a SVO system and have been toying with the idea
of plumbing up a heated tank, but as yet haven't
Just a question, when you mix methanol and NaOH or KOH, what is the
approximate shelf life? Will it keep for a matter of hours, days or
weeks?
Is there any possibility of pre-mixing and keeping on hand for latter
use?
