Keith Virgin oil was the first test Wvo next. 1 litre bottles. I.m in the process of stepping up now. This was the first two batched over 1 litre.
Just used 6.5 grams, no titration. Washed as usual and it did come out nice. Gotta do a ph test then filter and run with it Thanks Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Addison" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <Biofuel@sustainablelists.org> Sent: Monday, August 22, 2005 5:57 PM Subject: Re: [Biofuel] Separation > Hello Dave > >> I've done a couple batches of WVO.
