I came by this because a friend of mine lives in Santa Barbara County,

I had discussed cogeneration with him.
He cannot lawfully do it as there is a law re 10 hours a month maximum or
some ridiculous number.
I think it is 10 though.

I think biofuel diesel cogeneration pencils nicely.
You would think there would be a stampede to do it but maybe grid power
has to get higher priced and more unreliable before it will motivate people.
I assume poteen is homemade vodka. Yes?

I meant the ph of the BD is at 5.5 not the wash water.
The BD should be around 5.5 and the wash water around
7-7.5 (neutral) when wash is complete.

I strongly recommend you start off making methyl esters. Ethyl esters
is much more difficult. Start off with small batches, maybe one
litre, first with new oil (uncooked), then try titration and used
oil.
