Hello, I was wondering if anyone had used Drano Crystal as a source of Sodium Hyrdoxide, as I have been unable to easily find Red Devil Lye. (have not looked too hard yet.) I almost posted this without doing research, and decided to look at what is in Drano Crystal. Seems like it's 54.2% NaOH, see links below. So it probably wouldn't work to make biodiesel. tom.
