heated? I tried making some biodiesel,
but methanol is so damn expensive here. I like
biodiesel and will go back to it when I move away from
here. But for now, I wanted to see the possibility of
using either a SVO mix or a WVO mix, or maybe both.
Any ideas? Thanks,

Hi,
I did a blender test batch of biodiesel last night. I
titrated to 2ml, so I used 5.5g of lye and mixed it in
with 200ml of methanol. I then heated the oil up(1
litre), and put it in the blender, and mixed for 15-20
minutes. It quickly began to separate and the
biodiesel at the very top inc
Hi,
I am in North BAy, Ontario, and I get mine at True
Value hardware for 5.39 for 4l. It makes it handy to
put the glycerol in those containers too. Canadian
Tire and Home Hardware have really expensive stuff,
and I don't know about Home depot. By the way, Methyl
Hydrate is the same thing as
Hello,
Here is another question for the people who know their
plastics: Can I store my .1% lye solution in a
regular pop/bottled water bottle? Or does it need to
be in #2 plastic as well? Thanks,

Hi,
Does #2 plastic hold sodium methoxide or does it eat
the plastic up? What temperature does this plastic
begin to melt? Thanks,

Hello,
I need some help. I have everything all ready to
start making my own BD, but I am having a hell of a
time trying to figure out how to heat it up. I have
been looking into water heater elements, but I am not
an electrician, and I don't know how to wire it to get
electricity. I understand
Hey,
Do you have to bring the oil to boil to separate the
water and WVO? Will the water separate if you just
heat and mix? Just curious because I hope to use a
water heater element in my processor, but it would
only bring temps to 130 degree F. Any help would be
appreciated. Also, does anyone
Hello,
I will be putting my first tank of homemade BD to the
test when it warms up here a little. My car has 435k
km on it, so it will be a little dirty. I was
wondering if anybody knows of a prefilter you can get
so that you don't have to keep replacing fuel filters
for the first month. I hav
Hi,
Is there a way to determine the weight of lye without
a scale. The cheapest scale I could find on Edmund
Scientific was 100 bucks. Is there a general
conversion that is pretty acurate? Thanks.

Hey everybody,
I have been looking into whether my car(93 VW Jetta
TD) would have an acceptable fuel system without
modifications. I called the dealer and they said most
of the fuel lines are plastic, but what about the
seals in the pump or anywhere else the fuel passes
through? Does anybody ha
HI,
What is the best and easiest way to make a simple
still to extract the methanol out of the glycerin?
How much can you typically recover? I have heard up
to 1/3 the amount used. Thanks!
