    bio question

    ok thanks, I had the temp at about 140 when I added the methanol and iirc i was able to keep it about there throughout the process, correct me if I'm wrong , doesn;t the methan0ol boil or evaporate at 135 or so? So what you saying is I can run my temp up to 150 or 160 and then add the methanol...

I payed 280 for a barrel of methanol and have not found a good place to buy the caustic soda so it cost me 7.99 for...

    bio filtering.

    Yep I bought that pump and still have it but the way I built my processor it wouldn't pull the used oil into the system, I may have circulated it fine but I needed something that would pull a good vaccumm. But I may use it and use my other one for a on and off loading pump.

I went with 3.5 grams per liter and thats not near enough. so I should be able to...

    bio filtering.

    Oh thats what I have been filtering on my processor with so should I put my 10 micron filter on the wash/dry tank? I pour my oil through some nylons before I put it in my processor. 1 micron seems really tight I know that caterpillar uses 4 micron on their fuel filters but I am wondering where I...

    bio filtering.

    What does everyone filter their biodiesel for their final filtering with ,micron wise? I have made some and would like to try it in my dmax but also was wondering if washing was completely needed for this, cause when I tried the washing on a small batch the water started out filtering down...
