I already used this kind of soda pearls several times to make BD. It works 
perfectly.

Hi Ben

I think that'll be just fine. Try small test-batches first, as ever.
Make sure to keep the stuff dry, close the lid quickly and tight,
even transfer and weigh it out it inside plastic bags if the
weather's very wet. Make sure too that it's still dry in the first
place when you buy it. If all the pearls are stuck together in a lump
there's been a moisture leak. It'll still work as drain cleaner but
not so well with biodiesel (though you could probably just use more
of it, if you adjust the proportions in an organised sort of way).

Best wishes

Keith
