PS. I have a friend working in Mali, Willys Geffard, who still has not
started producing biodiesel and does Economic Development after all my
urgings!!

If I remember correctly, there is a program in Mali/Burkina Faso or a
close neighbor called The Jatropha Project in which a local oilseed
(Jatropha) is crushed and utilized for oil/biodiesel, and other
byproducts. I don't have the website handy but can forward it to you if
you want. Good Luck.
Hi All,
I probably have just missed something in regards to this preheater
design (and I must say CREATIVE!!) but how does the not yet heated
biod get from the cold, cold, fuel tank to the heater? Won't my fuel be
gelled in the tank? Or perhaps I just have missed out on the purpose of
the
Hi Art,
Sorry so slow in responding to your e-mail on bio-d maintenance issues.
The thesis I have on hand is actually called Economic analysis of
rapeseed methyl esters but does review a bit of the earlier work using
straight veg. oil in diesels. I think it was Steve Spence that wrote
there
Ouch!
I think that I might rather just walk than take up abattoir skills.
An obvious source of fat is from the slaughter plants (like IBP) where
excess external fat is trimmed off and often added to ground beef coming
from slaughter dairy animals (that may be lower in fat). They kill

Hi,
Besides the obvious saturated (animal fats) vs. unsaturated (veg oils)
and solid vs liquid at room temp issues, as I understand it, the free
fatty acid content of your oil (plant source or animal) directly
influences at what temp it (the esters) will begin to solidify. I spoke
with one of
Hey All,
Here's my 2 cents on ETOH fuel. Gas engines can run on straight ETOH
with apparent minor alterations to motor (mostly carburation-change jet
size) and the ethanol doesn't need to be anhydrous. From what I've
read, can run 70% ethanol(no gas) to 90% (180 proof) with no prb. When
I think that our local treatment plant just wants to know when, how much
per flushing, and what is it (glycerine in this case). I don't think
that it qualifies as toxic waste just waste.

I am sure I don't need to remind you all that ETOH fumes and meth for
that matter will explode if not properly vented. I speak as one who has
seen. A Nimrod using the drying oven at work reset it to 135C and then
placed some cobalt-EDTA crystals in to dry. They had been rinsed with

At the risk of sounding stupid, can biodiesel (methyl/ethyl esthers) be
used to replace kerosene, lamp oils, etc. ? Where do kerosene and lamp
oil (and heating oil for that matter) fit come off in the cracking
process? How refined are they? I ask these questions because I would
like to start a
