Marc, How did you test the pH ? The problem here is that pH is only strictly defined in an aqueous solution. What I am saying is that the pH most likely is not low, rather the way you are measuring is meaningless. Marc Arends wrote: Hello, I made a testbatch with clean sunfloweroil and

Hi Keith, I´d have to agree with this assessment. One of my professors at Rutgers said it best. We are not a carbon limited planet. There´s plenty of carbon, enough that huge amounts of oil and coal exist in fixed form. We live on a nitrogen limited planet. At first this seemed strange to me

Re: [Biofuel] Biodiesel turning acid

Marc, maybe you are measuring the color of the moon instead of the PH of your bio diesel. ;-) Ph is a measure for the H+ ( or H3O+) concentration in aqueous environment, thus in water, or at least in an polar solvent ( like ethanol/methanol), you can NOT measure PH with PH-paper test strips
