[Biofuel] FFA testing in the acid part of the Foolproof process

Hi All, I have been fooling around with the Foolproof process and have a few questions/observations. I do not get an emulsion when I add the alcohol to the WVO. I am using store bought denatured alcohol which is quite dry by my tests, and seems to have 10 to 20% methanol in it. I have

Re: [Biofuel] cloudy Biodiesel...

If it looks like crystalised jello then it is residual glycerine IMO. Why are you using vinegar ? That has usually been suggested for breaking emulsions, but if you have a complete reaction then you shouldn't need vinegar in the wash. Prior to using vinegar try the quality wash test, found here:

Hello Thomas, The time of usefulness for nuclear power is dependent of the half-life of the element used. The half-life for radioactive cobalt is five and a half years. After natural degradation it becomes nickel. The half-life for cesium is thirty years. So what this means is that in five

Seems to me that it should be pretty close to that of vegetable oil looking at the relative energy contents of the substances going into and coming out of the reaction. I don't have my references right now but basically veggie oil comes out around 130K BTU's (depending on the actual oil),
