Has anyone tried this? It's all I had laying around to start with but I
keep getting a questionable result. Since it was new, I tried the same
recipe for virgin vegetable oil and it didn't really pass the wash test
and as soon as it got cold, it turned into sludge. I wish there was

I use Quaker City Chemical and they sent me a 55-Gal drum the next day.

The price seemed reasonable and shipping was included. Not sure one
their distribution area.
Hope that helps

I have gotten methanol from VP Racing Fuels

making a lot of soap.
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

I let it settle for 14 hours. Picture A is of the results.
Picture B is right after shaking 20ml of BD and 20ml of water
it looks
like. Each one separated, but with a soap layer and a water layer. It
just didn't look like the website picture and I didn't know where I was
going wrong.

Hello Roger
That is the only thing
missing from J2F, pictures with typical results and adjustments
and figured it would be worth trying out. That'll be next.
Thanks for your help,

Roger,
I'm stumped by the third photo. Why so much soap when you used new veg
oil.
I'm surprisd it separated at all.
You are certain the methanol is dry?
Soap forms
Sounds like we ended up at the same place. Hence why I was very
perplexed at the wash test results, etc.
I'll be in touch with my findings this weekend - I'm sure to be busy on
more test runs.
Thanks,

I've been warned of this but haven't seen any thing yet. I keep my

I made two batches lately and both raise questions.
The first... I tried stir-washing for the first time. The water
separated out, slightly cloudy but I'm left with a thin butterscotch

up to 165°F. No change. Any

Why do you need so much oil? That should be enough for 12 people
Dear members: . Estimated friends: This is Roger Cotrina from Lima - Peru. I am
gliding to install a small biodiesel plant to obtain 1,000 daily liters of
