After much online speculation about "Acusorb beads" and the overblown advertising they were hawked with, I finally met someone who bought the package- and it didn't work at all. Acusorb was the company that claimed that you only need to run oil through their magic beads and it'll turn into something resembling biodiesel (my words). Here's what the unfortunate buyers had to say:
In our experience, the beads do NOT work. We are trying to resolve this issue with the manufacturer after getting the run around for 7 weeks with the distributor (Survival Unlimited). We just yesterday received an email address for the manufacturer and are pursuing them now so will post any additional results regarding our problem here. I was attempting to get the water out of some WVO with their system to run my oil hot water heater on it (Meredith wouldn't let me near the VW TDI). Long story short we didn't have any hot water for a few days; the oil was actually cloudier coming out of the beads than going in! So, looks like I'm the big fool. We threatened Survival Unlimited with bad publicity on multiple websites so here we go ..... STAY AWAY FROM THE BEADS......the pumps work well but you can find them cheaper elsewhere, same with the biopass filter.......STAY AWAY FROM THE BEADS......!!! -Adlai & Meredith Here is a link to a discussion in which these folks talk about what happened and the lame excuse from the manufacturer: http://www.forums.biodieselnow.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3243 Mark ********* www.LocalB100.com www.veggieavenger.com/media - open-design homebrew biodiesel equipment plans www.groups.yahoo.com/group/local-b100-biz -biodiesel co-ops and biodiesel small business discussion forum www.groups.yahoo.com/group/biodieselbasics -the alternative Yahoo biodiesel list ------------------------ Yahoo!
