I've only been a member of this group for a short time, but I've learned a few tricks to making biodiesel thanks to other more experienced members.I am currently working on getting a supply of WVO from a fast food place near to where I work. In my test batches, I've used 500mls of straight corn & canola oils. I've gone almost by the "rule of thumb" as to the amounts of methanol & NaOH to use, but I have found that if I add .5 to 1 ml of H2SO4 to the oil, it breaks down the FFA's better than NaOH alone. I hope to have 1 or 2 litres made by the weekend. Wish me luck.
