Ed, I don't ask this confrontationally. Do you really believe that yellow grease B-100 (or similar) will not be problematic when using only the fuel line heater, during weeks long periods of sub-freezing nights and at best mid-30's days? Such would be the majority at the middle to mid-southern l

Michael, I strongly doubt that just a fuel line heater would keep you problem free with B-100 during an average winter. Not even an average winter in Texas or Georgia. No matter what temp the recirculated fuel would raise the fuel in the tank to, you're going to run into the problem of fuel starv

Re: [biofuel] Biodiesel Separator

Might be useful to get the last fraction of biodiesel out of the soap layer quicker. I've seen a 55 gallon barrel filled with nothing but this layer exude ~5 gallons of biodiesel after sitting for several months. The better trick is to not produce any soap at all, or nearly no soap. This expedite
