We cut used oil into Diesel fuel 4% and final filter thru a DHAL filter slightly over 400 large engines 20 plus years no problems see also Baldwin Filter company and pdf file of recycler . Paul You already have to change the fuel filter 2 or 3 times with the cleaning of the gunk from the fuel tank, why add to it? In addition, if you are using the tank, as a part of your BioDiesel reactor, who knows what kind of results you would get once you try and make BioDiesel with the residual Dino oil in it. Has anyone tried to make a batch of BioDiesel, with motor oil mixed in with the Veggie Oil?If so, what was the results like? Why take chances with having to replace fuel filter more, or having a large batch of BioDiesel go wrong? When a fuel filter cost $15.00 ( US ) each, it would cost less to clean out the tank than to replace the fuel filter again.

Fwd from Greg: Re: [biofuel] Cleaning caged poly tanks
fixed it, but here's his message. Sorry Greg! Best Keith From: Greg Harbican [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [biofuel] Cleaning caged poly tanks Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2004 22:01:11 -0600 That is a thought, I was having visions of filling with water and then adding in a can ( or two ) of Drano, let set a couple of weeks as the Drano converts the oil to detergents, then drain, and rinse.

Re: Fwd from Greg: Re: [biofuel] Cleaning caged poly tanks
I've had good results cleaning old gas tanks out with Muriatic acid. I let it sit for a day or so, then flush out the tank with water several times and then use baking soda to neutralize the acid. Then I coat the tank in oil or somehting similar to stop the rust from getting at it before it gets used. ___ 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/

Re: [biofuel] Cleaning caged poly tanks
I was thinking of using one as my final storage tank once the BD was finished ( if I could find one that is :-P ).
