I did an experiment just last week comparing the reaction using fresh solution versus 12-hour old solution. I noticed with fuel-grade ethanol, the eth/methoxide turns deep yellow over time (mixes without the gasoline turn slightly yellow, but not as deep), and I was wondering if that would be detrimental to the reaction. Fortunately, there was no discernible difference in behavior between fresh and aged solution. Can't vouch for more than 12 hours..... -K Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuels list archives: http://archive.nnytech.net/index.php?list=biofuel Please do NOT send Unsubscribe messages to the list address.
