Harry, I think you mentioned to me the islanders drive around their diesel
engined vehicles with local crushed oils with no need for conversion. What is
the FA profile for these oils?

G'day Harry, the FA analysis I posted was made with cold pressed sunflower
oil. I have got my hands on a few hundred kilos of Canola which I will crush
in a couple of weeks time (when cropping is out of the way) and process into
BD, and hopefully will have up to a tonne of Mustard in August to try
d for tallow and lard - if it doesn't handle

G'day Keith,
Yes I'll fill you in when the job gets done. I am rather keen to see how they
look

G'day Keith,
It's Steve Hobbs here. I have only two pieces of reference for my work.

cold pressed BD & dino diesel mix and appears in all respects to be

Eric, why not try a hardware shop or a supermarket. You should be able to buy
caustic soda or "Lye" straight off the shelf. It is commonly used as a paint
stripper or a drain cleaner. Hope this helps

OK Edward, I've got a bit of time up my sleve. It has become to dry to
continue cropping...so to fill you in.
I purchased a P0015 lab press from Egon Keller & Co for approx. EURO
5100 which will crush up to 30kg / hour of seed. ( If you want to buy
one, tell Ulrich Steven said to look after you!!)

Well, can I say please get them out, I would like to see the info as well, the
GMO debate is hotting up here, especially since our shire has declared itself a
GMO free shire. Very controversial. I would like to be more informed of the

G'day Edward,
I am a farmer in Australia, and I have been producing BD for use on farm. I
have my own cold press and have built a processor. I am very interested in the

of plumbing up a heated tank, but as yet haven't q
Just a question, when you mix methanol and NaOH or KOH, what is the
approximate shelf life? Will it keep for a matter of hours, days or
weeks?
Is there any possibility of pre-mixing and keeping on hand for latter
use?

I agree. I've only been mucking around with BD for a while, but I managed to

I've just bought a few hundred kilos of Potassium Nitrate to spray my crops. Its
a relly good source of Nitrogen for crops. Can you really use it for BD??. I

A couple of questions to throw open
