Re: [Biofuel] BioDiesel, Hello, animal fat

Hello Juan, Yes, you can. You have to heat the fat so that it all liquifies. That happens at around 35-40C. Since processing temperature is 48-52C this really isn´t a problem. I would hot filter the material to remove any excess material that hasn´t melted. I have found that the ester does

As soon as it crosses the throat of your fuel tank, it's taxable, assuming it is an over the road vehicle. Keep a log and send a check. You can distribute BD as part of a coop, but you can't sell it w/o a lot of hassle. Kurt Nolte wrote: From what I understand, well, at least as it was
