It'll be a lot easier if you use KOH, potassium hydroxide, instead of 
NaOH, sodium hydroxide. With KOH the by-product won't solidify, makes 
it a lot easier to work with. We run it through a 1/8" valve from the 
reservoir to the burner without pre-heating, in freezing temps.

I don't know if I have something different or not but my by-product is not 
solid.  It looks like used oil.  Not real heavy but very much a liquid.  I have 
it in a jug on the cement floor of my shop and the shop is only 50 to 60 
degrees when the big shop doors are kept closed.  Does this sound right?

I will check into the KOH as in need to buy more lye to make some more diesel.
