For what its worth, I was at the local super
market, Weis, and they had a sale on Red Devil Lye (RDL). It also had a
note that it is being discontinued. Not sure if it is the actual RDL being
discontinued, or if Weis is discontinuing it. Just seems awfuly
coincidental though.

I just made my first successful test batches. Now, I want to
make about 200 gallons and store it . Can I store the BD in plastic barrels? I
stored some Dino Diesel in a white plastic barrel once and wound up with 50
gallons of diesel on the barn floor because it ate the seams out of the bar
Are there any methods other than heating
the BD to remove water?

Does any one have any information or an address on the web that I can
get concerning using electricity (cathode -anode) as the catalyst for
biodiesel? I would very much like to read up on the possibilities if
there has been a research paper done.

A long time ago in a land far away my extended family raised Holsteins

Anyone have any idea where I might find a 50 - 100 gallons device? Ebay
has been pretty fruitless. I could go to Va, WV, MD or DE for pickup.
There is a theory to create a controlled artificial tornado within a
