G'day All,
I am currently building a Biodiesel processor out of an old ringer washing machine(copied from a friend in brisbane), by taking the ringer off the top and then fixing another ringer bowl to the top of the existing bowl, increasing the capacity to 120 litres (approx).
I just want to ask a couple of questions in regards to this contraption
and a couple about the end product and the van.

I am currently building a Biodiesel processor out of an old ringer washing machine(copied from a friend in brisbane), by taking the ringer off the top and then fixing another ringer bowl to the top of the existing bowl, increasing the capacity to 120 litres (approx).
I just want to ask a couple of questions in regards to this contraption
and a couple about the end product and the van.
- This washing machine has a heating element coiled around the base of the shaft in the bowl near the drain hole. would this be safe and also be handy to heat the W.V.O to 50 degrees or could glycerine end up geting mucked up in it after the reaction has taken place and end up dirtying the biodiesel?
- I am thinking about sealing the two washing machine bowls using industrial grade silicon that said it is chemical resistant but not recommended for use with petrol, distilite or some other hydrocarbon solvents. do you think it will be o.k.?
- This is probaly a contraversial question and one frequently asked, but is water washing neccecary for good quality fuel?
- I have a toyota hiace 94 model 2.8 litre diesel and i am wondering if i should change any of the seals or hoses - say to synthetic - if they are not allready?
