What are common sources for the raw chemical materials for biofuel processing? I can get the oil but wanted to know sources for the alcohol (methanol/ethonal) and test chemicals (PH testing stuff).
So far I have these sources identified (or not=??): *Oil - local restaurant for used oil or Sams club for clean oil. *Lye - hardware store. *Methonal - ?? Auto parts, fuel additives?? *PH test kits and associated chemicals - ?? (pool supply??) *I have a small scale already for lye measurement. *Safety equipment - Where to get chem resistant gloves, aprons?? *containers - Used jars with metal lids?? Maybe not? *filters - coffee strainers, screens (no aluminum I would assume). I have a resperator for auto painting too. Will that work for these chemicals? What kinds of containers are suitable for finishing batches? I've seen metal 5 gallon drums on some of the websites. Anyone tried Por-15 as a coating for lining various metal containers? This is a really tough anti-rust paint that is chem and acid resistant. Might be helpful in making marginal metal containers more robust and corrosion resistant or to seal/renew containers with surface rust. ------------------------ Yahoo!
