It does seem to be a little soapier (guess my yield is suffering, since there's not much FFA. Not a problem, particularly since I always do a glycerine remix with 15% added water (a la UIdaho) anyway. By the time I get the glycerine layer out, there's VERY little soap in the biodiesel. > where are you getting ethanol from these days and > how much is it for both the drier stuff and this wet version? I've still got a little of my original drum from Parallel Products, plus some sugar hooch I made with Gerd Strand's TurboYeast, plus recovered ethanol from last year's glycerine layers, plus a bit of Aaper absolute that I water down (ironic). The only affordable source was Parallel Products at $1.60 a gallon for fuel-grade (CDA 20, 200pf), and even that was prohibitive when you count freight. 190 pf might be slightly cheaper, but also way easier to do at home. -K ------------------------ Yahoo!
