[Biofuel] Wash Water to Biodiesel Ratio?

A question for all you well-washed biodiesel homebrewers... Regardless of your particular washing methods, when all is said and done, how much total fresh water have you used for washing, per liter of fully washed biodiesel? FWIW, my ratio is about 1.3 water:biodiesel. Is that high, low,

Re: [Biofuel] wash water

I am no expert on this subject. But from my experiences (however few they may be) I have had better luck with my water strait out of the well than with my softened water. Although I have never had an emulsion formation due to softened water; I have read that salt can help prevent emulsion but
