Goes where? If it's a closed processor (as it should be) the methanol vapours won't go very far, most or all of it will condense on the underside of the lid and drop back in again. Have a look at what it says about it here: The 'Deepthort 100B' Batch Reactor http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_processor8.html Best Keith >-- >cheers, > > Rafal Szczesniak **mir[at]diament.iit.pwr.wroc.pl > Samba Team member mi***[at]samba.org >+---------------------------------------------------------+ > *BSD, GNU/Linux and Samba http://www.samba.org >+---------------------------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
