Oh, one other thing. Try cracking a small sample with phosphoric and see if you don't get a layer of FFA and crude glycerol. Might need to add a little distilled water or preferably methanol to reduce the viscosity and get a good separation, presuming that's what the glob is. Todd Swearingen --

Mark, Stuff has a remarkably similar appearance to the glycerol/soap "cocktail" layer after the alcohol has been evaporated. Might want to check for solubility in water and pH. Fair bet? Whoever the manufacturer is they don't wash their fuel and are relying on chemicals, gravity and time to pre

Greetings, New to list, on the brink of getting a processor and going for it! At least one important website warns people off of commercially assembled processors, as too expensive and not effective sometimes. However, I am much more of a cook than a mechanic. I do not see myself re-invent
