I am still in the process of building the housing for my BD

test batches I made, even
I could be WAY off base here and I know you said diesel fire but
then went on to say that it was for a 200L batch so that brings it
out of the sphere of petro diesel and into the arena of vegetable
oil - biodiesel.
I did a quick Google and came up with this:

I just did another test batch and there is something wrong. I am doing

I ran this question for a condenser by my brother-in-law who did a
course in refrigerants ect... and he suggested that I use aluminium
tubing instead of copper as the aluminium will transfer the cold
from the water quicker than copper and the condensation will happen
faster and more complete.
I am very new to the biodiesel scene and have happened upon this VERY
informative website. So first, I'd like to say hello.
My name is Amanda and I am doing some research into starting a small
business in East TN processing and selling biodiesel to farming
communities. As I said, I'm

can anyone tell me the % grade of chemicals needed for the fool

can i use

what about methanol?98%?
does anyone know what good
In the next few days, the FSC/ETI JOBS bill will be debated in the
U.S. House of Representatives. While it would be preferable to pass
a new broad and comprehensive national energy bill, that seems
unlikely. Therefore, the FSC/ETI JOBS bill could be used to advance
alternative fuel tax
I'd be definitely looking for a vacum leak (or input). Some of 'em things use
vacum selenoids to shut off fuel to the injection pump. Hope this helps. cory

Luc,
You might check with your brother-in-law again because I think you have the
heat transfer coefficients of aluminum and copper reversed.
Typically, copper has about twice the heat transfer capability per inch of
thickness than aluminum. There are quite a variety of aluminum grades and
here in Central Texas I get mine from a Race Fuel Supplier and he gets
his in tank truck loads and it is %99.? grade , he is known for his
fuel because the race cars run faster on his , he told be that some of
the stuff that some suppliers sell is used , and they use it to dry
the tanker ships ,
Rick,
Go to your kitchen and take some of the vegetable oil from your pantry and
run a sample. Do everything the same as you did with the WVO.
If the same thing happens you know it's not your oil that's the problem.

NaOH also attacks aluminium.
Copper is easy to solder but aluminium isn't
Stick with copper - the difference in conductivity, for our purposes I
think, would be slight.

I'm from the UK so I can't really advise on the funding situation as

Interesting how the term has changed from Global warming to
Climate change, at least in the US. That was partly a sort of
imposed euphemism by the Bush Administration, when they could bring
themselves to mention it at all, when various official reports could
no longer be suppressed and so on.

Thank you very much for your response Arlos. I'm new to the biofuel

Fire risk is a major reason for the emphasis on closed processors,

Luc,
Soft copper, harder copper, it's really no matter. The primary issue is to
make sure that the diameter is not undersized for whatever capacity your
evaporator unit is.
