Some reassurance please.
After months of single stage manufacture and reactor modifications I was
about to jump into the Foolproof method. But now Bob in a, I assume well
equiped Lab can't get the process to work completely.

After 1 batch the pump sprung a terminal leak
so I decided to pull it apart only to find out that it had
rubber seals. I then pulled anther pump apart to find "hello" rubber
seals.
If Alex uses WM pump what brand are
they?

I have just trialed a washing machine pump. It went
fine no problems until the following morning when I found it leaking from the
main seal. As it didn't leak through until the following day could the BD damage

In the foolproof recipe a 100w washing machine pump

G'day Peter
Sounds like water in there somewhere. Check you oil
for water. Methanol is a hygroscopic substance and if the tins been left open in
humid conditions it to may have water in it?
See the JtF site for more info on water in oil. I
have seen items on the list about hydrogenated oil ?
Just a couple of questions.
How do people clean out their drums given that most
of them have engine oil in them when they are obtained. Does it affect the
BD.
And on the same note, I am going to purchase a 200L
drum of Methanol and I am going to break it down into 60 and 20L containers for

Hi Sami
You can by Fat Filters used in the restaurant

will flow easily.

Hi Keith
I have done a 1L test . Fortunatly I re titrated after deacidification and
found that the oil had dropped from 7mls to 1ml titration so I added this
plus the 3.5. in the 25% methanol, and it came up nice and clear after three
washes.

Hi Folks
I have tried the deacidification method with good
results in the test batch. However when I heat the oil to process it foams
agressivly. I assume this is the water/lye reacting? It leaves a thick layer
of fat/soap? which i skim off leaving good oil, titration of 1ml instead of
7mls.
I appreciate your patience

Hi Tom
Let me see if I 've got this right. BD made with Animal
fat solidifies at a higher temp than WVO? This could be handy info as a lot of
the chippies here use lard.Fortunatley I think I've got onto a source of
WVO. Diesel prices in NZ are now a $1 pL for your interest

methanol is not anhydrous, which it has to when producing
biodiesel.

longer.

I was talking to a friend that races cars and

As a matter of interest does biodiesel make the

permit you to calibrate the reflux temp so no vapors escape.
