Hi All I have just made my first batch of fuel, it worked just great considering the rough measuring used. Thanks for all the info. I have a few questions someone may care to answer though.
On mixing the lye with the methanol a (part) chemical reaction seems take place. I assume it is a reaction and not just a solution because heat is produced. I say part because the amount of lye varies with the oil type not the methanol quantity, therefore leaving differing amounts of methanol un-reacted each time. Will someone un-confuse my thinking on this bit, like what is really happening here? Next, when one puts the above concoction into the oil what is actually happening and in what order? Why is the lye added to the methanol and not the oil directly? Thanks Roy _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
