Hi Steve, I compared the FA composition that you posted with some in the european literature. What strain are you growing? The European crop specifically grown for bio seems to be called OO or00 probably because it has zero 22C FAs. Have you cooled your bio to determine the cloud or pour

[biofuels-biz] WVO and Renewables Obligation

Hello, has anybody looked into using Waste Veg Oil in the context of the UK Renewables Obligation (in a 250-500Kw plant)? It isn't specifically mentioned in the Govt's priorities for the RO, but would obviously fit the bill for sustainability. Have there been any issues with emissions (given

Neil, Properly made biodiesel ought to work fine; the problems start to occur in dual-fuel situations. That could mean either a mixture of vegetable oil and diesel/kerosene, or straight vegetable oil. In a dual fuel situation, the engine is started on either fossil or bio diesel, and then

biodiesel is fine in any diesel. rubber hoses and seals need to be replaced with viton. DI's can have issues with SVO/WVO, but these can be overcome as well. Steve Spence Subscribe to the Renewable Energy Newsletter: http://www.webconx.com/subscribe.htm Renewable Energy Pages -

kumaraguru: One liter of fermenting material will only give you around 100 or 150ml of alcohol when distilled, depending on the strength of your yeast. You may wish to try at least several liters of material to distill. If you want to run your gasoline engine on a mixture
