I think Sulfer is what gives it the "bite" so to speak the oil then acts as a coolant and lubricates the chip so that it cleanly escapes the cutting area without gauling the surface. This may be why its so expensive. From: "Jason& Katie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: biofuel@sustainablelists.

I don't know off the top of my head, but sulfur is somewhat soluble in non polar solvents like toluene and carbon tetrachloride, so I suspect it would have some solubility in biodiesel. Probably all you would need to do is get some elemental sulfur , a yellow powder , add to the biodiesel and

I agree with Joe. My experience has been that even agressive washing with quality fuel should cause rapid separation; within a few minutes it should be mostly separated (even though this is so, I still wait hours before I separate off the wash water). Bobby From: Joe Street <[EMAIL PROTECTE

Derick, I stir wash ... full speed ahead from the get-go. It is very aggressive. If the mix doesn't separate in less than an hour, I suspect an incomplete reaction. After months of successfully passing the methanol quality test ( described at JTF) I had the "heartbreak" of an emulsion
