After thinking about this and searching the archives... Anyone actually doing this?
What is the minimun amount of castor oil per volume of water/ethanol solution to be effective? Are there any applications where the castor/ethanol solution could be burned directly? i.e. in an diesel/gasoline(RUG) engine, heater, etc. mixed with RUG, BD? Will the castor/ethanol mix with RUG, since it has very low water? Will it mix well with diesel or biodiesel. ...thinking out loud.
