Re: [Biofuel] Separation
Hello Dave Keith Virgin oil was the first test Wvo next. 1 litre bottles. I.m in the process of stepping up now. This was the first two batched over 1 litre. Uh-huh, let me guess, I'm doing quite well so far - one-litre PET soft-drink bottles, just put it in, shake it 3.5 times or whatever and it's ready an hour later, or something like that anyway? Just used 6.5 grams, no titration. Washed as usual and it did come out nice. What does as usual mean? And nice? Did you do this? Try the wash test: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_vehicle.html#quality Gotta do a ph test Of what, the biodiesel? How will you do that? then filter and run with it But how far? Dozens of trouble-free miles? (No I didn't make it up.) No need for titration, just shake-it-all-up in a bottle - it's hopeless Dave, you're accelerating down a cul-de-sac. Before you hit the brick wall at the end, go back to the beginning and do it right. Start here: Where do I start? http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html#start Keep going. Let's put it this way (not for the first time): It's you vs the mighty ExxonMobil - and you win! And it's better stuff too! Or at least it should be. Why cut corners when it's so easy to do it properly?

One 11 ltr and another 8 ltr. Both with 6.5 grams methoxide mix. Did you titrate it or did you just use 6.5 grams as some people still advise? Did you start with virgin oil first? Both batches settled completely within about 1 hour with no more settling even though I let them settle for over 12 hours. Sure there was more settling, even if you couldn't perceive it. I think you'd soon see the difference if you tried to wash it after 1 hour as opposed to 12 hours settling. I've read that it takes about at least 12hrs to get complete separation. That's right. Am I doing something wrong or am I going overboard. Try the wash test: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_vehicle.html#quality Best wishes Keith I've got a marked 100ml flask and both times I'm getting about 12ml of glyserol.
