Hi all, I just made my second large batch of Biodiesel. (10 gallon) I have made 8 different blender batches, the first 3 I screwed up the amount of lye. (the scale was way off) The next 5 came out great, (I think) I have gotten great seperation on every good batch that I have made. 2 very distinct layers with the top layer being the same color top to bottom and the bottom layer much darker and on the bottom. I mix it for 1 hour then let it sit over night and draw off the good stuff from the top and put it in the washer. I wash it with 1/2 the amount of water for 6 to 7 hours and let it sit over night and repeat this 3 times. My last wash water is just about clear and the ph is about 6.
Having told you this, is there anything to do to test the quality of my fuel. It looks good in the jug. I have one batch that has been done for a couple of weeks and it looks the same now as it did when I got done washing it. I am ready to put it in a fuel tank and run a gen set but just want to be sure I am not going to mess any thing up. Thanks Rick M Brownstown, Mi.
