[biofuel] More on Lumpy BD

I have just completed another test batch with the re-titrated oil and got a thin layer of by-product glycerine at the bottom of the Masson jar. Of course this may be attributed to the supplement of WVO I tossed into the frey or it is residual from the first process or a combination of both.

[biofuel] Re: My view on diesel cars, and a notable event.

Hi Keith, I have received suggestions that WVO based biodiesel may contain substances not present in its virgin counterpart - nitrosamines, dioxins, acrylamides, and that emissions may be more toxic. I'll keep you posted should I come across anything. Pierre --- In biofuel@yahoogroups.com,

Ok Keith. I read the OPEC thread, and within it was a lucid discussion of (among other things) the exact Kerry/Bush dilemma of which I lamented. I also read the Moderator's message and your posts on this thread. Would you like for me to respond point by point to your last reply, or will it

Hi Pierre Hi Keith, I have received suggestions that WVO based biodiesel may contain substances not present in its virgin counterpart - nitrosamines, dioxins, acrylamides, and that emissions may be more toxic. In the WVO itself, nitrosamines perhaps, dioxins? Maybe. Acrylamides, I don't think

Re: [biofuel] Extending storage life of biodiesel

Hello Philip Interesting, thankyou. Other than the possibility of oxidation causing polymerisation problems, I'm inclined to agree that it's not much of an issue. I've never seen any biodiesel that went bad. We still have some of the first biodiesel we made, more than five years ago, sealed
