I figure its time for an update. I have been busy making my first few batches of biodiesel. The batches I have been making are small 1 Liter test batches. Better to have a messed up 1 liter bottle then a 40 gallon tub of crap. The biggest obstacle so far has really been the acquisition of Methanol. It is hard to find in any quantity but it looks like I do have a source for it now.
Measuring the lye for titration.
Bringing the oil up to the 130 degree processing temperature.
BioDiesel Settling after the reaction.
Sorry for the lack of pictures. Its hard for me to make the BD and take pictures at the same time. More to come i promise! As well as pictures of the scaled up BD processor.
