This link doesn't say anything at all about the mixing time. I mean if I have 2 layers after setteling the biodiesel which was stirred for 5 minutes and you have it with 15 minutes stirred biodiesel. Ok, we both have the same, but how can I detect if indeed my way to do it, is "wrong"? I can't find any data which is comparing stirring times. Any input on how to check if the reaction was ok, is welcome. As far as I understand it, if there's unreacted oil, then it would form a third layer, but that's not the case. > In fact general advice when using a blender is to process for 15 > minutes or more. > > So what did you do then?

Oh, yes, they mention 'per gallon'...and I took it as it was per liter.(I'm not used to use gallons) But ok, I'm learning from my mistakes :-) Regards, Gregory _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
