Hello All,
Am researching the making bio-diesel from coconut oil with a fairly low tech
small scale (possibly community based process in PNG) where the coconut
flesh is first finely grated, then mixed with the juice, then cold pressed
to produce an emulsion. This is then heated (not boiled) to se

Hi all.
Well, I finally did the first large batch yesterday.
Using alecs' 'foolproof' method.
I think i messed up big time.
My system worked perfectly although it took nearly 2 hrs to filter the oil.
My mix was 80% liquid veggie and 20% solid veggie. 80 litres in total.
I heated it all up to 100oC
That will work well with fuel cells.

Hi Barry,
See I didnt answer this e-mail properly. The fuel filters are
basically the same as the oil filters although slightly different. They
differ in that while the oil filter has a 50 thou orifice in the inlet
opening to drop the oil velocity and to prevent channeling the fuel
nice one!

How true. How very true. All the more reason to get some of these

Hello fellow biofuelers,
The following message was posted on another email list. I do not have

the cost is tolerable. Maybe wrap these cells around IC engines, put
