Hi, I have just started looking into making my own Bio Diesel & I'm reading
everything I can lay my hands on, but still have questions that I'm sure
someone out there can help me with.
1. Should I purchase one of the books that seem to be on sale at some
of these sites.
2. I enquired about Methanol from one source & he said he's Methanol
was 99% pure & 1% anti corrosive agent, is this good enough or should
I chase 100% pure or is this the same thing?
3. If I purchase a 200L drum of Methanol whats the easiest & cheapest (safe) method to extract it from the drum.
4. Is it necessary or does it help to heat the oil before adding the blended
Methoxide & how critical is the temp. I sort of figure if the oil is hot the
Methanol will start to evaporate.
5. If making large quantities e.g. 40L plus this is a bit much for a hand drill, what are other people using?
6. I'm at Campbelltown (dont hold that against me) Is there anywhere local to obtain the raw materials.
Also any Advice would be appreciated
Thanks Michael
