Dag Pieter Nice to hear from you again, glad you're out of hospital safe and sound. Only 2,000 messages and you didn't read every single one of them immediately?? Shame on you! LOL!
>Weet ik, maar het wordt er wel steeds lastiger op, of kun jij nog volop >gratis krijgen ? So what are you having to pay for it now (WVO)? I thought the price went down following the BSE scare, didn't it? And now it's going up again because of increasing use of PPO? In your first message, when you mentioned oil merchants, I thought you meant companies processing virgin oil for use as fuel. Do they also process WVO, or are the waste oil collecters also putting their prices up? You do make rather large quantities of biodiesel all at once though, maybe it'd be easier to get hold of smaller quantities of WVO and make it more often? I think there were some responses to your earlier question on using ethanol in a diesel. These might help: http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/29193/1 http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/30061/1 > > >However, there is still enough sawdust for free. > > >Can I just mix ethanol with BD, or can I run my diesel on strait ethanol >? > > >What would be the effects to the environment ?

You might find this interesting: http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuels-biz/835/1 There's also the ACREVO study on vegoil, which has interesting things to say about ethanol blends, and this thread: http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuels-biz/3098/1 I know you were asking previously about how much sulphuric acid to use in making ethanol from sawdust. I think the answer is "enough" - I doubt a rule-of-thumb amount would work very well, considering how variable the feedstock will inevitably be. But I'd be interested to know if you could do it economically - would the value of the ethanol outweigh the cost of the sulphuric? (Leaving aside time and labour etc.) Best wishes Keith >Met vriendelijke groeten, >Pieter Koole > > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Yves vd hoeven" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <biofuel@yahoogroups.com> >Sent: Monday, February 02, 2004 11:16 AM >Subject: Re: [biofuel] Back again > > > > Als je olie koopt is dat inderdaad duur.
