Drying the fuel is no problem without vacuum, however, even when it's below freezing (soon, here = we've already had ice at night a couple of times).

Hello Joe, Keith, Seth Macdonald from the wilds of British Columbia. Today it is a moserate -14 degrees celcius. I have considered dry-washing due to the difficulty I am having this winter in keeping my building heated. (i.e. water lines freezing.)

I have a guy here who learned how to make fuel and he tells me his fuel passes the Jan Warnqvist quality test after 'drywashing' . I haven't seen him do it but my understanding is it isn't faster. Certainly not faster than washing and vacuum drying.

[Biofuel] Dry-washing
Hello all Is anyone using dry-washing for biodiesel? Anyone, that is, who makes top-quality biodiesel that can take stir-washing in the first place - I have the impression that dry-washing is too often used to mask a poor reaction. And also to "speed up" the reaction, or to make the process "more efficient", which usually seems to mean that people want more production, so then get a bigger processor, or another processor and run them together. I have a poor opinion of Magnesol, messy stuff, people tell me, and/or "for lazy people", as one of them said. (Interested to hear other opinions though.) The newer ion-exchange resins such as Purolite, Amberlite, Thermax, Eco2Pure, seem to do a good job, and there's a case for it where water is either scarce or expensive. I'd like to hear any opinions, experiences, results. Thanks!
