Hi,
I just take the cap off the carboy and put the hose into the methoxide to
suck it up.

Do you have some way of letting air in?Other wise, would not the pump pull

Do you have a diagram showing how the Methoxide is sucked from the carboy

I've been wondering... has anyone tried an old box fan motor with a
paint stirrer on the end instead of a drill? I thought the torque
handling capabilities of the drill might be overkill, and something
with lower torque strength might get th

air.
Might want to make sure that the r's are in the 1,200 - 1,800 range, or at
least no higher.

it takes to mix the biodiesel and water wash. I will
be setting mine up with a timer so it will shut itself
off when it's done. Good Luck||

Thanks everybody for the replies.
I mixed the methoxide with the wvo by gradually letting the pump suck it from
a carboy as the wvo was being

Good catch Andrew. If memory serves me properly that is exactly the
way it is done with the 90 liter at JtF.

Why not take things a step further by switching on the pump before the
of things.

OK, I am no pro at this but even I can see a couple of points. Why
bring it up to 130C ? Did it need dewatering or was it just a
precaution? A sample test in a saucepan brought up to temp would
have confirmed it one way or the other.
