: Re: [Biofuel] Washing Biodiesel
Hello Bill,
Thought I'd read about everything there was on biodiesel,but don't recall
anything on water hardness. Could you direct me to a link or post so I
can learn
more about this? By hardness I'm assuming you mean calcium?

The folks in your town should be thankful. After their shower they

Others, like me, need to soften our water

Ardis,
You will find, after enough experimentation and out of pocket costs, that
mechanical agitation in a wash tank is the least expensive, consumes the
least energy, requires the least amount of time and leaves you with a
finished product as good

I have Josh Tickell's book From the fryer to the fuel tank and it explains
that washing the biodiesel adds several days to the process.
What is several days?
Is two days enough? three?
Perhaps other variables delay the washing, but what is a good rule-of-thumb
from our groups members?
x-charset ISO-8859-1I am a newcomer to the discussion board, so please bear
with me. Is
washing the biodiesel a necessary step? Reading Joshua Tickell's
book, he claims that he does not wash the biodiesel and has not had
any problems running it. Then when I looked at the Journey to
check the pH. if its not washed any aluminium parts of the engine will
corrode.

I have solved the wash problems that plagued my BD production.
Previous attempts at washing using the bubble wash technique proved
disasterous with froth and emulsion formation. Usually half the BD ended up
overflowing the container.
