Hi I am new to this list, but have been making my own biodiesel for about three years.
I have recently been given about 400 litres of WVO which unfortunately was put into drums that had contained fibreglass resin, I have let this stand for about 3 months and drawn oil from the middle of the drum. This oil titrates @ 1.4g/Lt KOH, I use a base amount of 7.7g/Lt (the KOH is 90% pure). When processed all seemed OK with the oil and glycerine separating well with no intermediate layer. However when washed with a mist spray the biodiesel became very frothy and I lost a lot of the oil in the wash, what remained eventually settled into 3 layers - water/a white layer a bit like cream/biodiesel. Is there anything I can do to either remove to resin or neutralise it's effects? Any ideas would be helpfull Mike Erdman -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
