[biofuel] Biodiesel processors

2001-11-01 Thread Benjamin Alan Ramseth

Hello everyone,

I am at the point we I need to make a biodiesel processor.  I have been 
throwing around the idea of using a used electric water heater.  I believe 
most of them have a conical bottom, that will aid in seperating the fuel.  I 
plan to obtain one and have the top of the actual tank cut off at a welding 
shop.  Has anybody out there used a water heater as a processor?  Any pitfalls 
to look out for?  If so what other type of containers are people using for 
there processors?

[biofuel] Running a Mercedes on WVO

2001-12-03 Thread Benjamin Alan Ramseth

Hello everyone,

I have just purchased an 1981 Mercedes-Benz 300TD with the intent to run it on 
WVO.  I see that in the 
workshops that are being put on here in California, the "Grease-Car" Kit is 
the system of choice.  Is this system the hands down 
choice for the running of WVO in a Mercedes?  After reading through "From 
Fryer to Fuel tank" it sounds like 
putting together my own kit might be quite intensive.  Does anybody have any 
experience rigging up their own 
system?  If so any pointers would be great.

In regards to running biodiesel to start up and shut down the car, would it be 
suggested to switch out the rubber hoses in the fuel system 
right away or down the road?  I seem to find different points of view on this 
issue.  If so does anybody have 
contact information to locate synthetic hoses?

Thanks for any information you can provide.

Ben

[biofuel] Soap "Floaties" in Biodiesel

2001-12-13 Thread Benjamin Alan Ramseth

Everyone,

I made some small batches of bio-diesel about a month ago.  Now when I look at 
them in the clear containers there are white "floaties" in the fuel which I 
believe to be soap.  Is filtering the best way to remove these particles from 
the bio-diesel?  If so what inexpensive methods would you recommend and where 
to look for the supplies to do it?

Ben
