Why would you produce extra oxygen ?
Wouldn't a simple turbo (compressor) give any result ?

Hello again,
Dr. Jon Van Gerpen taught a course segment on the oxidation issue. He has
charts that show a doubling of storage life of vegetable oil with an
antioxidant.
Most of these studies have been done on vegetable oil or lard to date, but
should translate in some degree to biodiesel.
The citric acid needed is about 0.005%, or about 50 ppm. This is effective in
combination with propyl gallate, another unknown chemical in my book. But I
don't know how effective it is by itself, and I suspect it would take 4 to 10
times as much to achieve the same as the combination. This
You have misinterpreted my chart. The $2.15 is for B100, the price for diesel
fuel is $1.12 in Atlanta. Its hard to keep columns in an email document,
but you need to straighten out the columns, of which there are four values
given
for each location: B100, B20, B02 and diesel fuel.

Thanks also Zac. Your question about my pH meter can be answered as
follows:
I looked for and found one I liked on eBay. One with RS-232 so I
can record the results of each batch along the way to completion and for
proof of quality when I enter the commercial world and people's diesel

Hi chaps and lasses
Why can't I use methalated spirits in my petrol engine? Is there any reason
other than it been more expensive than petrol? When I looked at what makes
up meths. I found out it contains about 90% ethanol and about 5% methanol.
Could I get away with using meths, could anyone

Hi Kim
The learning curve is much more difficult,
... and the unlearning curve can be even more difficult!
due to the fact that you are
going against the 'norm' and your neighbors tend to tell you that you are
strange and weird, but once you get used to how things work, it is much
less work.
Are the rice hulls the same as the germ ?
No. From previous:
Uhh, maybe I don't know what rice husks are -- I've always
assumed they're some part of the plant that encases the
rice grain,
That's what they are. Aka rice hulls.
and that I never see in my rice straw.
No, you wouldn't. I doubt

I am looking for a cheap but good diesel engine to put into my 93 Ford

Hi Tom,
That explains everything quite clearly. Charts can be a bit cranky sometimes.
That would make the dino diesel prices here more along what you stated. Do
you have specific info as to where in the Atlanta area one can aquire some
B-100 in case I get asked???
Sorry for seemingly being
Hi Tom,
I was wondering if Muriatic acid can be used as an anti oxidant as well as
to help break an emulsion. I used about a table spoon on 5 gallons of
emulsification, and it worked great, but I don't know if it will be
detrimental to the engine.

The unlearning curve, h, well I used to live in a downtown highrise

laughed at. My neighbor has an AI center and told me
