Hello Tom I'll refer you to the last time we discussed viscosity testing, at the Biofuels-biz list: http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/BIOFUELS-BIZ/3816/ Re: Viscosity - was Re: Fuel Quality Test for Small Producers Best wishes Keith > >In a message dated 1/23/04 3:35:36 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > > > Is there a reference anywhere that lists the kinematic viscosity of > > vegetable oil? > > > > > > AP 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.
