i have a pump question on a side note. will a window washer fluid pump from
a car work in my little test reactor, or will it dissolve as well?
I think it'll work, Michael Allen was using them in Thailand for
things biodiesel and didn't have problems.

I was also under the impression that Acetylene for
decades has been kept at reasonable pressures in the cylinders due to the carbon

unstable and thus the need to use a filler to react with the gas.

The impeller in the clearwater pump is metal. Plastic impellers will
eventually fail in pumps used to agitate the reaction.
My experience w. the clearwater pump is that it will handle up to 90L

We're using a clearwater with good results - but be careful to leave a
little oil in it for priming purposes and when you plumb it
use tape - any air leaks really impair its ability...

My guess on this is it is not so much the pump but the size of the

Charles,
As Mikw Weaver pointed out, 1 Clearwater pumps are not self-priming.
Another way to avoid priming each time is to:
Position the pump so that it is level with the bottom of the WVO source
and the bottom of the reactor. This allows it to prime by gravity. I pump

I've found that if I leave it in the settling tank longer, it will
settle out even more. Smaller water droplets seem to take longer to sink
and separate, (or conglomerate with other droplets) when encased in
their oil surroundings. I'd use solar if I wanted to heat and retrieve
the oil from

1. No, I said it was then called British Palestine.

But, than does not make it British. The people living there were

Luke,
If your WVO was used to cook meat such as chicken, you will have some
animal fat which may be causing the middle layer. It will still make
excellent warm weather fuel.
Of course, it might be water.
Heat a small sample to get the water to drop out. Take some of the dried
