Hi,
I have been making some small trial batches of Biodiesel, and had pretty
good success.. nice reaction, clear fuel, then refined with washing etc
(water and vinegar).. still nice and clear..
however, I notice that when I made a large batch (approx. 175 litres) the
fuel at the bottom (after I had removed the glycerine from the tank)
appeared to have some sort of crystals at the bottom of the container, that
looked a little like miso soup.. cloudy at the bottom, clear at the top..
the crystals (I'll call them that, given that's what they look like - I
doubt they *are* crystals) dissolve back into the fuel, when the fuel is
warmed.. I thought this might be the normal "higher cloud point" of
Biodiesel...but they re-appear when the fuel is back to normal room
temperature.
just wondering if anyone has seen this too.. or could provide an idea as to
the cause.
many thanks in advance..
regards,
Paul.
