Hi to all I'am new to all of this so please excuse all the questions I don't know how my bio diesel should look like when it is the finished product !!!! should it be clear or is cloudy ok ??? the test batch that I have made , burns in my fire place much the same as super diesel and kerosine and has a BBQ type smell to it and why use Isopropyl alcohol in the titration why not just use methanol instead ?? when it comes to mixing the methanol and caustic soda (C/S) what is a good way to mix it so that all the C/S is being mixed completely in with the methanol mixture I have put the C/S into a blender until it is in power form but there are always some granules still in the bottom of the glycerine is this normal the top layer is a golden honey colour and the lower layer is black but not a gel at all . With this test batch I drained the top off and added water to it and shook it for 5 min and let it sit over night the water turned white from the methanol and the top layer was still like honey but not clear at all is this normal?? and is it usable in that state . do you wash your B/D ??? from all the sites on-line that I have read some tell you to wash it others don't , some tell you to heat the WVO others don't , I have made test batches using methanol instead of using Isopropyl alcohol in the titration and have the two layers form just as well sorry for all these questions but I don't really want to blow my Land cruiser up just yet ..
