[Biofuel] Gel layer??

Hello I've made couple 90 litre batches (WVO). Wash test, top cloudy biodiesel & bottom milky water, separation took more than half hour so maybe not best quality, but should be enough to oil burner. Question is, when I let biodiesel settle (to separat glyserine) it forms thin gel layer on top of

[Biofuel] Stupid question about remowing water.

Hello   Just made first test batch from wvo, lets see what happens.   Then question about removing water using Aleks Kac's method: heating oil to 60 deg C, let it settle 24 hours and then use only 90 % of it.   I should use the top 90% and leave lower 10% not used? Am I right?   Sami ___
