Interesting views aired, and valid too. But no nation is without
guilt at some point in its history, in its treatment of its own
nationals and those of other nations, past or present.
The universal word that applies to us all, whatever nationality, is
greed. As soon as we all

Thankyou, Stuart should not have taken it offlist, especially after I
asked that it stay onlist as several people were interested. I'm glad
to see it return.
It needs the preceding bit though, that was onlist, so I've added it

Thanks again

But many thanks all the same, and I'm glad we've been of use to you.

MM,
You asked about VW, Europe and biodiesel. In Europe the VW diesels are
certified for RME fuel (biodiesel). The are clearly stating that in the
specifications.
RME = Rapeseed Methyl Esters. They don't like soy biodiesel. It's
been thought that this is more political than anything
Hello Ryan
Yesterday when I made my first biodiesel I used a cheap GE blender.
I know that Josh Tickrell says in his book to shut off the blender if
the motor and or mixing chamber gets excessively hot. Mine did get
hot, but I don't know what he means by excessively hot. It certainly
wasn't
Tom,
Remarkable. Thank you so much for pushing the edge of the envelope.
I may share your vision of the grease economy, but lacking
imagination I have simply abandoned mowing, and weed eating. I now use
a swingblade, and machetes, but my chainsaws are still on fossil.
My hat is off to you.

Matt,
Mist and bubble washing are methods that were developed to prevent or reduce
the formation of emulsions. The biggest problem is that the emulsions
shouldn't occur in properly prepared fuel, meaning that rather than solving
the problems of incomplete reactions, their inventors chose to try
I do not seem to have enough information on this process: 9.6 g NaOH
+ 9.6 ml WVO, mix and add it to 40 ml water/liter of WVO, then add
this to how many liters of WVO after soaps have been removed? I have
been making 55 gallon batches succesfully until the big glop monster
sucked up my brain.
hi all this is the method i use in my lab
1- evaporate off the methanol by gentle heating mainly
to quantify how much is in the bio diesel and to

Hello all,
Thought I'd add my 2 cents worth. Been making our own fuel for about a
year and a half. Here's our story. I made my own processor out of a 55
ga metal drum. (People will GIVE these to you or you can buy them
cheaply) Used the removable lid as the botton and cut out half of the
old
Preventing the poor reaction that allows the emulsion to form in the first
place sounds like the real goal. Does Aleks Kac's Foolproof method create fuel
that can withstand mechanical agitation during the wash phase? If not, what
method does?
Thanks,

Don't use a blender to mix your lye. You'll destroy the blender relative to
future food uses. Worse still, the top could pop off while mixing,

I particularly like this one. We consumers so seldom have anyone make an effort
to put a value on our time. And isn't our time important to us?
And so much has been made over the years over the issue of lengthy recharge

Keith,
We did NOT end up with biodiesel. The consistancy is close to that of the
original grease. I am unsure now what to do with the stuff. I think I didn't
mix the lye/methanol enough and something reacted with the animal fat. I don't
know.
I did the same experiment with my 6th period
