I have over a thousand hours on a paper based truck filter. I think all commercial fuel filters have paper elements. Steve Spence Dir., Green Trust,...
... My filter of choice is a Fleetguard (part of the Cummins empire). With that said it is, for me, the best balance between cost and effectiveness. I have...
water block element filters swell and block in the presence of water. Maybe you had one of those. Many injection pumps fail in the presence of water, so...
I'm really suprised I have not heard anyone mention "Gulf Coast Filters". The F-1 model uses a paper towel roll as the element and fiters to 0.5 microns. I've...
Great! I looked at the web site it did not list price. How much? _____ From: Biodiesel@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Biodiesel@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of tvatsea ...

Howdy !! Was just curious if anyone had come up with any good ideas for measuring our liquids in the process. I've got a processor that's almost complete and...
Mark your sight tube on your processor by filling the processor with oil from 5 gallon buckets. We mix our methoxide in 5 gallon batches, so we use the 5...
All. can someone explain to me (10,000-5,000 view)what prcesses are being used at these 50 million+ gallon plants?? I did a news search today and found a ton...
The large F-1 or O-1 [fuel 1 & oil 1] can go for $400 but I have purchased surplus O-1 units on Ebay for less than $100. Keep in mind these are awesome diesel...
I have one also, and can order and get discounts on bulk if needed. i also use one and find it to be totally adequate for pumping veg thru a 15 micron filter...
It doesn't create goop, and it's planet friendly. wash water can be used for irrigation, glycerin can be composted (or used as soap). Steve Spence Dir., Green...
I'm new to the diesel/biodiesel idea, but think it warrants significant attention given recent world and petro-chemical events. As it is - I'm just now looking...
I think Steve should have added "KOH"! It is the easier of the two to work with. The glycerin/methanol/soap layer is never gelled like NaOH can be and is...
Dean, I believe that you can not BUY a diesel in Maine but you can REGISTER one. Most folks go to New Hampshire to buy a diesel and simply have it registered...
KOH is more forgiving than NaOH. In the soap industry, the latter is used for bars and the former for liquid soaps, such as Dr. Bronner's. While such liquid...
They use both continuous and batch systems. WVO varies from batch to batch. So does SVO, but not as violently. As well, unless you're paying a premium for...
Calibrate your larger equipment, either by weight or volume, using small increments of precision measure. Once you've got a baseline stick to it. Todd...
Steve and Mark, I appreciate your response to the koh/Naoh ?. I am going to switch to KOH and give it a try. Its $1.35/# compared to $1.00/# in Tampa and it ...
Harold ... I have been making biodiesel in an appleseed proccessor for about a year now. I have always used KOH and have never had a bad batch. I have no plans...
The website is Chem-stat.com. Methanol by the 55g is $2.60/gal. NaOH is $1.00/# and KOH is $1.35/#. I listed their info on the suncoast biofuels forum....
It doesn't make better biodiesel. It reduces your margin of error and generates a useful salt in comparison to an essentially useless salt when using sodium. ...
