Forgot to mention that if you do attempt pressurized esterifications (100 psi),
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do so by filling all vapor spaces with an inert gas such as CO2 (inexpensive) to reduce the risk of explosions. Compressed air (increased oxygen content) is not a wise choice for such a process.

I know to fill them with water to force out any propane than may still be in them, so they don't explode when I go to cut/drill into them. I figure that if I can locate a 40 lb tank, that has failed certification, that it should make a processor that can handle about 20 gal at a time. > > Any advice as to converting them to a BioDiesel processor? > > Greg H. > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > > > > Biofuel at Journey to Forever: > http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html > > Biofuels list archives: > http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/ > > Please do NOT send Unsubscribe messages to the list address. > To unsubscribe, send an email to: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Yahoo!
