Hello Jonathan, welcome >I am a newcomer to the discussion board, so please bear with >me. Is washing the biodiesel a necessary step? Reading >Joshua Tickell's book, he claims that he does not wash the >biodiesel and has not had any problems running it. Then when >I looked at the Journey to Forever website, there is a lot >of emphasis on washing it. Which would be the best way? >Thanks. Jonathan.

It's a bit fierce maybe, but I don't disagree. She says a lot more about that book here: http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/BIOFUEL/29919/ I don't disagree with that either.
