I sent a message 2-3 days ago. Hasn't shown up yet. I'll try again: Hello fellow biodieselers! I can say that now that I made my first batch.
It was just a 1 litre batch, here's how I went about it: - .2 l methanol (99.9%) with 3.5 g gillett lye (100%) shaken in a jar on and off over a few hours - 1 l new canola oil - mixed all together with mechanical stirrer for 2 hours over hotplate maintaining heat around 53 deg C. Settled over night. Top layer (85% total volume) clear honey coloured. Middle layer (8%) white filamentous & cottony layer. Bottom layer - almost opaque dark yellow gelatinous. I'm pretty sure what the top and bottom layers are. What about the middle layer? Pierre ------------------------ Yahoo!
