[biofuel] Fair price for methanol

So I ran across a guy that has a half-full drum of methanol in his barn. The drum belongs to a buddy of his who says he'll sell it, make an offer. What is a fair price for the drum and 20-30gal of methanol? I'm thinking around the $40-$50 range. BTW, I live in Wisconsin.

[biofuel] Bio-motor oil?

Is it possible to make motor oil out of WVO? I read in another thread about using biodiesel in gas engines as a fuel additive, anyone know anything about maybe using it as an oil additive? Good idea, bad idea? - Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun.

Re: [biofuel] WVO in my Hummer

Not sure about the coolant line heaters. I'm sure your plastic tank will be safe up to, at least, 200 Deg, F. as for links to kits I found these on veggieavenger.com http://www.greasecar.com/ http://www.greasel.com/ http://www.elsbett.de/ http://www.biofuels.ca/ Good luck and have fun,

RE: [biofuel] Biodiesel Glycerin-to-Methanol Condensor plans

How about just running the condenser coil through a cooler, or any container for that matter, of ice water. A small 6QT cooler available at any home/department store for $5 would work great. We use the exact same system to chill a hard cider tap at the bar I work at. Never runs warm.

RE: [biofuel] Biodiesel Glycerin-to-Methanol Condensor plans

Hello Gents, Am I to understand that the methanol can be recovered from the entire Biodiesel/Glycerin mix before decanting/separating? In doing this, do any separation problems occur? I don't plan to break down the glycerin into it's elements, rather I plan to use it as a degreaser/hand

Re: [biofuel] PVC

Well Keith, the stuff I'm speaking of is actually white here in the states but it is commonly used for water. More commonly for drainage. So let's hope were thinking of the same thing, It's signifigantly cheaper than steal plumbing. I'm finally getting my first diesel car tomorrow and, I

I saw in another post that HEET gas line antifreeze is pure enough methanol to produce biodiesel. I am planning to run my first test batch very soon but I'm having trouble finding methanol. Does anybody know if HEET is pure enough to use? Steven Pfaff

A few months back I saw a diesel rabbit come into a salvage yard that I frequent. I have no idea the size or condition of the engine but I personally turned it over. I have no idea if the car is still in the yard but the place is called Sturtevant Auto Salvage - Sturtevant WI. The phone
