WVO in lines affect product   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #25950 of 26235 |
I have just finished my processor and 1 question remains. I am pulling,
processing, settling and washing from the same pump. So I am wondering if I get
some WVO or unsettled Biodiesel from the lines in the wash tank will the wash
process clean it out or will it negatively effect my fuel. It shouldn't be alot
but I did run 1" lines. I guess the wash test and other quality test will show
just wanted everyones input. Will be my first batch and I am excited.

Thank you all !!
