I am involved with sophicated analyser equipment for the petrochemical industry and even with their 100's of thousands of dollars worth of analyser equipment they still have laboratories doing tests. As Kieth says, "don't hold your breath"

Perhaps those consumers are just mad at themselves for believing the
hype from auto makers that convinced them to buy a big SUV, and for
buying a big house in the suburbs that requires driving everywhere and
lots of energy to heat, and now they have sort of been backed into a

A fascinating and erudite article on combustion.
According to Biodiesel.org, available studies show that diesels
running on biodiesel produce 75% to 85% less PAHs than diesels running
on petrodiesel. This information is supported in much more technical
terms in a study published on the Journey to

I have a 50# bag of KOH and have no idea what the purity is. Is there any
way to tell how much of this KOH to use or what the purity is? I get a
really good buy on it from a local soap making company.

Most KOH is in the proximity of 90-92%.
The suggestion would be to titrate, adjust for approximately a 10%
purity loss, then conduct a bracket titration to see how close your
calculations are to reality.
Use the process as a calibration for the balance of the bag's contents.

I'm almost ready to run a test batch of biodiesel.but before I get started
with a larger-scale production, I'd like to see the
process first hand. Are any of you in the LA area? Let me know if it would be
cool if I hung out with you when you do your next
batch. Dan. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
