Re: [Biofuel] reverse pump washing???
Im going to try something this weekend. instead of pumping water through the fuel during the wash Im going to pump the fuel down to the bottom of the wash vessel. I just thought instead of putting tiny amounts of water through the fuel maybe I could pump tiny amount of fuel through the water and let it float up through the water. Im hoping that it will take more of the residue out of the fuel faster. the only problem I can see happening is I will probably have more water to settle out after the wash is finished Interesting idea. I don't see why you should have more water to settle out though, it should amount to the same thing. I will write back again after my trials are finished. Please do. Please tell us what sort of pump you're using, what you pump it in through so it comes out as droplets and so on. It sounds similar to the way Michael Allen pumps the methanol/methoxide into his Deepthort reactor for the process, through a sparger at the bottom of the reactor vessel: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_processor8.html The Deepthort 100B Good luck, best wishes Keith ___ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/

Re: [Biofuel] reverse pump washing???
oil will always float on water. The residual water would be no begger a problem than when one washes with a paint stirrer, which I have done more than afew times, and that did not cause any major drawbacks as, again, oil floats on water and if the reaction is complete should not cause any probs. Please do let us know how you make out with this.
