Won't be "good" until you wash it. Even then it won't be good unless you've processed it properly, and I'm not sure you have. After your first message I referred you to this: >Start here: >"Where do I start?" >http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html#start I don't think you read it though, or I don't see how you could have said this in your previous post: >No I did not heat the oil.

Anyway, once you've figured out how to make the stuff, there are tests here: Quality testing http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_vehicle.html#quality Keith Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuels list archives: http://archive.nnytech.net/index.php?list=biofuel Please do NOT send Unsubscribe messages to the list address.
