Aren't the Coleman stoves made for "white gas"? I used unleaded regular in mine for years. I wouldn't Kerosene or Bio Diesel would not atomize properly. Alan ...
Yep, did the same thing when I was a highwayman,in the stove and lanterns. There is a screw on top of the burner,if I remember correctly,that holds several...
yes, thin it with lamp oil (kerosene). I don't know what % would be best, but I would start with 75% BD and 25% kerosene (would that be B75 Kerosene?) ... ...
That brings up an interesting point. How about BK75 for kerosene blends and BD20 for diesel blends or whatever the blend ratio instead of just "B". Makes...
I prefer B75K for 75% bio / 25% kero, and B20D for 20% bio / 80% diesel. Works for Veggie as well. V50K is 50% veggie / 50% kero. This is the designation I've...
Well if it's blended with biodiesel,the "B" will be there,suppose it doesn't matter where you put the second letter, a matter of personal preference until it's...
Been looking at this both ways and decided that whichever way it's done, the public is going to have to be educated anyway. For now, as long as we all know...
Terry I think you need to get out more mate! I think it is like whether to use wvo - waste veg oil svo - straight veg oil uco - used cooking oil ppo - pure...
uco is wvo, and although some would think ppo is svo, svo is food grade, and ppo isn't processed into svo yet. The whole issue is when blends come into play....
Thanks Chug,appreciate the offer,but I already have a mate. That's why I don't get out more. Terry Chug <balehead@...> wrote: Terry I think you need...
Hi all, Made my first batch last weekend in the Appleseed. Seemed to go OK - got about as much glycerin byproduct as original volume of methanol, the BioD ...
Hi Andy, Ray here. Is your water too soft?? From JtoF list: Terry DeSimone <starfire44_777@...> wrote: I have been experiencing wash problems (bubble...
Hi Ray - Interesting question - I'm on a well - I always thought our water was slightly hard - we're in limestone geology here. The pH of our water is ...
Hi Andrew how much emulsion did you stir the two gallons of glycerine into? and is the 90 - 100° in F or C? I have had good success on some emulsions with...
Hahaha,sorry guys,wasn't me that wrote this,I only WISH my processor was done.I'm still waiting on my pump and have to get some elbows and nipples yet. I did...
Ah yes sorry – the specifics – 90-100F, and I stirred 2 gal glycerine by-product into roughly 30 gal emulsion. Maybe I need to add more – I stopped...
Update – the plot thickens – it appears that my tank has settled into three layers now – at the top is what looks like the bioD I started with – golden...
... Are you sure you got a complete reaction? Sounds like some of my test batches that were short of hydroxide. I got three phases, the middle one being...
Andy, I've never met an emulsion I couldn't break. Don't give up. You can recover. To me it sounds like you did not mix the glycerin by-product with the...
Andy, if you don't mind can we go back to the beginning and take it one step at a time? I'm trying to understand what you made in the first place. If you...
I'd like to add to Maud's comments: <snip> ... The methanol is not out of it at this point. There is a lot of methanol in this bottom layer. Maud, why do you...

Hey all, Jack Jones, from Riverstones Biodiesel, made up a bunch of biodiesel samples from various oil feedstocks. Here's the titrations he found for them: ...

Duh! Of course,have I ever had a brain block.Soap doesn't lather in hard water,that's why people use water softeners. Thanks Andy for helping me wake...
Hi Maud - Here's a bit more detail - Oil titrated 2.8. I'm using NaOH by the way. I used the biodiesel-o-matic Excel spreadsheet - base value is 5 I believe....
