As it happens, I filled up with 91 Octane instead of 87 or 89. Really
a 1 in 100 choice on my part. Usually I choose 87 without thinking.
But I once read a discussion of the Midwest U.S. that said that even
there sometimes the only ethanol is in the 91. So, maybe mine did
contain ethanol. If

Not to sound too nieve or anything, but I've only just joined this group.
My questions are thus:
How is biodiesel made?
is it used the same as dinodiesel?
does it have any disadvantages?
and does it give the same power output?
You may have already answered all these before, however if anyone c

Can anybody tell me: Can the washing stages use ordinary tap water or do they

I have another question. What effects does heat have on biodiesel? Is biodiesel
sensitive to sunlight? My questions are regarding the use of solar on biodiesel
to inhibit bacterial growth.

I did read through it, and I can not see what is so bizzare about that

Where they fail in their efford to be transparent, is the high "primary

methanol input, but this is not stated or explained.

The oil we use for SVO/WVO use is of unknown mixed sources, so FA profiles
are useless for us.
