Hi Vakin;
Thanks for your input. When you say 200 ml RO do you mean you wash a 1
liter test batch with 200 ml of reverse osmosis water?
BTW 95 deg. C is pretty warm it may dry the fuel quicker but there are
some notes on J2F that indicate biodiesel can oxidize. It may be
accelerated at that

No. I mean 200 ml methil ester washed with 56 ml pure water. After
heating for couple of minutes up to 55 deg. C it
a/c compressors or refrigerator compressors will produce enough vacuum but they
are also designed to allow thier crankase oil to circulate through the system.
if it is not captured and returned they don't run for very long

Hello Mike, Joe and all
Along the lines of testing or thinking outside the box I've been up to
5 things which may be on interest:
1. Titrating - I've taken to using titrating more as a starting point
these days - now I usually make 6 - 8 mini batches
and just look to see which gives the best
Just an addition:
In my early batches I was so curious how the BD will
affect the engine I did that test-after the third wash
the fuel was something like Fanta orange,with lot of
water dispersed within,but I pour it in the tank.My
Renault 11 was just fine.Then I heated the BD to
dewater it and
Kewl! A form of water injection. Well I think the water will not be
good for the injection pump. If only it was machined from stainless
steel it would be ok I think. Keeping the fuel and water emulsified
would be a bit of a trick, and in cold weather.uh oh.

Hi!
Some time before (I mean early '80) many automotive enthusiast add a
water injector to their carburetors. Bit better mileage with the same power.
Return line for diesel engines has a enough quantity of fuel to do
stir washing of your BD. Important is to not get fresh water into
the pump!
Hi Mike,Hi Joe,
I am completely agree with you on point one,Mike,I`v
experienced it on my own neck.Point two-you are right
about silica,but I gave it up-it is a mess when it
comes to recovering the stuff;nevertheless it is
useful to absorb any water content leftover,just pump
it trough the

I let some of my BD settle for about 2 months (indoors, 22 degrees
celcius) and by the time I got
Good points there Todd;
I would like to add though that it is really informative to those of us
on the list with less experience when we read posts such as these and
though information may be somewhat anecdotal or even if somewhat
scientific if it is less than rigorous it may still be of use

I would concur with you on point number three. Right from my first test
batch with 1 liter of new oil I noticed that the BD at the end of
washing is cloudy and I heated it with a stainless immersion (rod)
heater (in a 2 liter flask) and little drops of water would form at the
heater and drop
Hi
We are making BD with a homemade reactor (80 liters). We have used de
single stage and de two stage (base-base) methods succesfuly, but we still
having many doubts :)
In the two stages method described in journeytoforever, the mix settle
around 12 h between first and
ReZn0r,
Settling time is simply letting gravity do the separation work for
you, rather than enlisting equipment such as centrifuges. The more
glycerol/soap that is extracted by settling the less impediment to the
subsequent step, whether it be stage two or washing.

I've had a question about the two-stage, base-base method as well. My
second stage resulted in such a little amount of glycerin it didn't seem
worth the extra time or effort. Any comments? I suppose the removal of
this last
tablespoon of glycerin gets my BD to ASTM standards for free glycerin, but
.
Is there any error here?
Thanks for any advice

ReZn0r,
All chemical reactions, in one way shape or form, are reactions of
equilibrium. And the results of many reactions are less than desired if
the chemical balance is only one of stoichiometric balance. Hence the
need on many occasions to use excess amounts of one chemical or another
