Looks to me like all you need to do is wash and you'll have good biodiesel Bobby From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Biofuel@sustainablelists.org To: Biofuel@sustainablelists.org Subject: [Biofuel] Test Batch Help Date: Thu, 06 Oct 2005 21:09:01 Could somebody give me a clue as to what I am doing wrong?

Re: [Biofuel] Test Batch Help
Hello Ben Could somebody give me a clue as to what I am doing wrong? All my batches except one have turned out pale in color. I am using new oil in 1 liter batches. My measurements are accurate. Taking a big breath now... Here is a picture of my samples. http://evocm.com/ethanol/pvc_pics/DSC03856.JPGhttp://evocm.com/etha nol/pvc_pics/DSC03856.JPG Most have turned out looking like the jar on the right. I thought by looking at them one of you could give me a hint. In the meantime I'll keep plugging away. Any help is appreciated. Ben Why do you think there's a problem with the colour? The colour's fine, but that's a LOT of glycerine by-product for virgin oil. What exactly did you do? Anyway, do a wash-test and if all's well go ahead ahead with washing.

Re: [Biofuel] Test Batch Help
Ben, looks like it just needs a wash, i had the same questions when i started, but it is usually kind of pale when you use new oil. it doesn't tend to be darker until you use WVO. jason ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
[Biofuel] Test Batch Help .....Thanks
http://evocm.com/ethanol/pvc_pics/DSC03856.JPG Thanks guys, I thought I was doing something wrong. Apparently, most of the pictures I see are wvo. Keith, the sample is a combination of two pour offsso there is a liters worth of glycerin in the jar. I dont have any translucent containers big enough to hold an entire batch yet, but I do have a 1000 or so mason jars.
