G Mark,
Have you thought of converting one of thoes free NG heaters to Propane?
The reasion I ask, is that I worked security at a propane / NG shaving
facility for several years, and picked up a few things from the pros there,
that
made their living working with both.
Propane is hotter than

Hi Greg,
I tried to find out more info about doing this. It's not super easy. The
manufacturers of the water heaters all said that it'd be OK to convert from
propane to NG, but not the other way around. Yet stoves (cookstoves) are fine
to convert in either direction. I tried to ask about buyin

If you can get your hands on a used trough solar collector (the kind used
professionally to heat water to steam) that might be the best bet.
Anyone have any experience with this, or know of a salvage place?

Hallo,
I have been to Grand Rapids (Mich.) to visit the citys' biodiesel
experiment. The two things which seem to be problems are that the
liquid glycerine byproduct does not remain liquid but tends to get
clumps of hardened glycerine in it and that the finished biodiesel,
when i
Don't know how it can be called "finished" fuel if glycerine remains in the
mix.
Why aren't they washing the glycerin out as soon as the fuel is finished
reacting?
By the by, "hardened glycerin" is not glycerin. It's soap, with perhaps some
glycerin homogeneity.
This all sounds a bit like the c
If you as a home producer wash the biodiesel properly, there won't be
any glycerine coming out of it. glycerine is water soluble, and free
(ie completely reacted) glycerine will wash out. Bound glycerine (ie
mono and diglycerides, which are an intermediate step between vegoil

steel. The cooking tank will be large enough to process batches of

three times larger than the c
Hi,
The volume of the wash tank depends on the type of washing you'll do.
For bubblewashing I just use the same size tank as my processor.
Her's why: in the processor I leave some air space above the liquid,
(I make 42 gal batches in a 55 gal drum) and once the glycerine is
retracted I have th
The question is, "It was 'off-spec" in what way?"
The reported manner in which it was 'off-spec' just doesn't happen unless
process steps are omitted (corners cut). Such being the case, it would be
more of a matter of a producer not knowing what they were doing or getting
greedy, rather than poor
