You're most welcome, thanks again. In truth I haven't had much time

I hope it doesn't look like I am implying a good titration can't be
done without going to this length. That is not the case. I just wanted
to share the idea incase anyone else wanted to give it

Yes. You are right that we should strive for a complete reaction.

Your comments reiterate what was said, save for one area.
"Bad" is a matter of subjective opininion. Whether the five centimeters
is in a five-thousand gallon tank, five-hundred or five still indicates
reaction incompletion. Five centimeters of emulsion in a spritz bottle
indicates the s
Huh??? I can buy that the interface layer for a completed reaction is
related to the contact between water and fuel as you say, and is
therefore dependent only on surface area of the interface, not volume

Let's wake up here, at least for the moment Joe.

Hi Todd;
When you talk about thickness of layers, is this with the Dr. Pepper

much worse condition (with a 1mm layer) than someone using a tall
narrow container no? Maybe when giving this type of information we
should talk a

Daryl,
The suggestion is that you understand precisely what it is that you're
looking at when you see a thick layer of emulsion in a wash. If the fuel
was manufactured properly, the interface layer between water and fuel in
a test wash would be only a milimeter or two thick. Five centimeters

Hi,
I am just after a bit more advice regarding the quality test on a small test
batch. I followed the Dr Peppers technique using new canola oil and the
process seems to have worked out ok. When I do the quality test I get
separation in 30 mins, but also get a small (5cm) white layer between the
