The fact that there's a rocket fuel additive called perchlorate
specific gravity is going to be dependent on process and feedstock
(ethyl esters versus methyl esters and rape vs soy vs palm etc) for RME
it is .8802 and for neat rape oil it is .906 so you can see that this

I had similar troubles, look for a more complete post from me on the
subject later in the day as I finish writing it.
some things that helped me:
it is cold here which slows everything down, I had to settle my last
batch for 7 days (it had separated in 12-24 hours but it was still hazy,
before testing my fuel was settled for 7 days until it was crystal clear
and light yellow in color. after 24-48 hours it seemed to settle
completely but it was still hazy, this went away entirely after the full
7 days. there was no appreciable increase in the volume of the glyc
layer after
kinda hard and usually 38 mpg in the city. I only have 17,000 miles on it
but problems yet! Don't wait to put bio diesel in it, that should not void
the warranty and if you start using asap you may avoid any fuel filter
cloging that sometimes happens when you run the first bio through.
