Crude glycerin does not solidify at room temperature. It's the soaps combined with the glycerin that give cause for any type of solidification. I suppose that technically glycerin with a higher solidified soap fraction, such as waste oils from animal fats, is indeed crude. But in such cases the

Hello Jose Alcohol is more dense then gasoline. You will need to open the jets up about an additional 1/3. On a small engine this means adjusting the mixture screw. On a larger engine this is done by drilling the jets out an additional 1/3 or replacing with larger jets. Hope this helps

This as many things are relative, of course it will be less effective with dirt or oxidation on it. This because the surface is no longer the surface, it is the dirt. Mixed with a material aluminium could go from its potential emission factor of less than 0.1 to 0.4+, but it is still very much

The weight of crude glycerin can very quite a bit, depending upon what it is crudded with. Is the crude in question the glycerin/soap/alcohol layer after a straight base reaction, the same layer after an acid/base process, the glycerin/H20/alcohol/acid after a FFA recovery routine, or the
