  • Isopropyl alcohol

    Is there a good source for about one litre of Isopropyl alcohol in Brisbane.
    If not I can get 20 litres for around $70 to share if anyone wants to come to my place at the gabba with bottles

    Hello geecee,
    I'm just beginning in this biodiesel making myself. Did you find a supplier of Isopropyl alcohol who sells it in small quantities? eg 1 to 2 L.

      I read that you can use metho instead of isopropyl but you warm it up in a container placed in hot water.This has worked well for me for a few months and of course no trouble getting metho and cheap.
      Good luck

        Metho works just as well. That's all I have ever used. The need to warm it will depend on what your oil is. If the oil is nice and liquid there is no need to warm it, but if you are using fats then you will need enough heat to keep the fats liquid.

          Isopropyl is just rubbing alcohol, any chemist will have it, although its not cheap in small quantities.
