We have kids in elementary school with intense curiosity. We're interested in using ethanol to make biodiesel instead of the more hazardous methanol. Where...
Dave, I don't bother to test for quantity of soap. If you add fuel and water and shake them to mix them well and the water separates readily and is relatively...
Rick, The water is slightly cloudy. Do I use more methanol or less catalyst? I filter my WVO down to 200 microns and I am setting up a drum to do a glycerine...
Tom, To use ethanol is no different than methanol. I think you need to use 20% more but some folks use extra meth too. One thing to keep in mind is that...
Dave, Extreme Biodiesel's calculator does not have accurate starting points, you need to change their values. NaOH should be 5 not 3.5 (3.5 may work but may...
Dave, If it's slightly cloudy you are probably fine, it's difficult to tell unless you see it for yourself, though some say any soap is not good. If you want...
Rick, I noticed that extreme's calculator had changed to 13% a couple of weeks ago as I use KOH but I always change it to 8%, and I set the purity level to...
Rick, I have good luck with the 2-stage base/base method as outlined in Collaborative Biodiesel Tutorial using the 80/20--80/20 version. It is easier in that...

Will, What forms/ process do you use for paying the federal tax? The link to the Fed tax is not working. TheDwilsons.com removed their page about it. I may...
Carl, Why don't you take the approach of mixing in a small fraction of DieselKleen with you BD and then calling the mixture a fuel additive. That way you won't...
John, Has anyone been challenged on the "fuel additive" by a state or federal revenue department and won? It seems like Wisconsin and Alaska have helped to...
Rick, Sorry, I thought I mentioned that it was the bio from the shake-em-up test that is taking a while to clear up. My bio is clear from the Purolite drywash...

All these responses are very well put and insightful. However, does Diesel Kleen have road taxes applied to it ? Only sales tax. As a matter of fact I came...
