>From what I have seen on the net and read the fuel sould be washed 3 time to get a clean product. Some or most of you out there making biodiesel every day might say that this is over kil. I don't know as I'm just getting started. My first wash will be mist only to remove the bulk of unwanted products from the reaction. 2nd wash mist and mild aireation, 3rd wash, mist and strong aireation. I think that this might work to help cut down on any emulsions in the wash and help move the fuel in the tank around a bit on the last wash as well. Just my thoughs on it.
