Hi J.D.
Lively, civil and more! I'd love to see or hear of any specific
studies you've come across. Searching the internet yields mostly
articles about how, though clean-diesel has washed away some of the
dirty-diesel blues, diesel is still dirtier than gasoline. I'm not
stopping there though.
Hello Peter,
It is possible to make fuel ethanol from discarded paper and food waste
(non-dairy and no meat) making fuel ethanol another alternative to
biodiesel as well.

I agree with you 100% about used frying oil being a
questionable feedstock. There simply isn't enough

It is studies done in Switzerland and France, earlier mentioned on the list
and can probably be found in the archives. Cancer causing particulates with
less than 2.5 micron was worst for diesel with exhaust filter. Gasoline and
diesel without filter was better, with a disadvantage for diesel.

What im really asking is this caused because of mechanical factors or because a

Hi Peggy ;
Yes I bought a small autoclave to try out converting
waste cardboard to ethanol by dilute acid hydrolysis.
Truckloads of cardboard waste from all over Cambodia
come back to Thailand through Poipet for recycling.
It can be had for 2 baht/kg (about $0.05 per kg). Now
that is a cheap

And now for a simple question. If the MG and DG are forming emulsion
during the wash cycle, if the emulsion is drained off wouldn't that leave
behind fuel that had MG and DG removed and hence better quality fuel?
Perhaps a fair theory, but there would still be an unquantified amount of

I think you miss the point. Oxidation of any carbon-compound releases carbon

exchange of gases from human metabolism. I'm not one to tell you to stop

Do you have a diagram showing how the Methoxide is sucked from the carboy and

I am imagining a venturi like device, that the WVO is going through, drawing

Your problem could also be soap production which would not be detectable
from any of your tests, other than the pump washing test and would
present in a complete straight base reaction. You might try
acidfying the BD to convert soap to ffa's then washing.
