Tan said: Thanks for the numerous response but I have to ask again. Could a basketball pin(used for inflating balls) be used to deliver a jet of air/bubbles to a wash tank if powered by a strong enough pump, let's say portable tire air pumps? It could work, I'd think. But it would not work

brass, biodiesel, and air bubbles is a terrible combination. Brass contains copper and zinc, both catalysts for oxidation (I think) of biodiesel. Air bubbling is one way to speed up breakdown of biodiesel as well, very quickly. go stainless. mark --- In biofuel@yahoogroups.com, James Slayden

so what would be a good gas to bubble through the biodiesel. Nitrogen does not strike me as a good one to use around glycerine, and Hydrogen would saturate any unsaturated biodiesel? Fred On Tuesday, Nov 25, 2003, at 14:07 US/Eastern, skillshare wrote: brass, biodiesel, and air bubbles is

Fred, Mark already gave you the answer, it's not a matter of changing the gas, but one of changing the metal that the difuser is made from. Earlier today I posted a message saying that stainless steel difusers can be gotten, and gave McMaster - Carr as a source. BTW, air, like we breath and
