Hello all. After a month or two hanging out on the list, I have finally overcome supplier hassles, financial constraints, being out of town unexpectedly for my mother's funeral, etc., and am now ready to start making some biodiesel. I am planning some test batches for this weekend using Canola oil that I have been hoarding for a couple of months. My initial questions relate to using what I have on hand to run the test batches.
A while back, a person mentioned using Grolsch bottles to mix methoxide for test batches. I have a similar bottle from some marinade, which has a rubber o-ring type seal on the stopper. Do the Grolsch bottles also use rubber seals, and if so, has this caused any problems in methoxide mixing? Also, I am using the two step process, and for a 1 liter test batch will need to measure 1 ml of H2SO4, if I remember the process correctly. (Don't worry, I will be checking everything out on the JTF site before starting, to assure that I have everything right.) I have standard plastic syringes available, and wanted to assure that using these to measure the H2SO4 wouldn't cause a problem. Thanks to all for the help to this point. I'll keep you informed as I progress. Brian ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Make a clean sweep of pop-up ads. Yahoo! Companion Toolbar.
