I am a new subscriber to this group so forgive me if this question has been discussed recently. Does anyone know if it is possible to replace gasoline with some type of biofuel? I make bio diesel for my diesel truck and would like to have an alternative for a gas pick-up. Any knowledge on this

Correct Propane tanks are not high pressure. But a BLEVE IS a high pressure situation. Specifically when the maximum safe pressure of the cylinder has been breeched and the safety valve does not release the pressure sufficiently, quickly or at all. It was added strictly as a comparison to

I think that would be a very bad learning experience. A diesel engine fires from compression, a gasoline engine, even a two cycle one fires from spark plug ignition. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor -~-- Small business owners... Tell us what you think!

That's right. It is Ok to use certain vegetable oil products and veg oil/biodiesel blends for the two stroke lube, to replace the oil, and the lubricity is going to be better in that case. However, biodiesel as fuel is not a replacement for gasoline. Ed B. www.biofuels.ca - Original

Hi Mike I'm struggling with the washing of the biodiesel. I get a low return (50%) and a lot of creamy mayonnaise. Do you get rid of the water before the reaction? Perhaps you use too much lye. How much do you use? Yield should be ~ 100% even by an inexperienced biofueler. I usually get

I see several problems with transporting ethanol by pipeline... the biggest being that for all practical puposes the pipeline capacity is already owned by the oil companys. Why on earth would they feel compelled to forgo the revenues of tranporting thier own product for a competing resource.

Mike, Don't know if this helps. Generally, if a reaction has not gone to completion, then the remaining mono- and di-glycerides that didn't finish cracking will emulsify the mix and make mayonaise. Sometimes, if the volume of mono-glycerides and di-glycerides are not too much, a little
