This maybe something everyone is already aware of but this is an observation that I have noticed and would like to pass it on.
You may remember that I once posted a thread on filtering out the cloud point of Bio when the bio was cloudy/cold... ????
Anyway that doesn't matter:::
What I have noticed recently is that after making one of my 100litre batches and the Bio is washed, dried, clear and looking awesome, you would consider it OK to go straight into the tank. WELL fine if you live in a temperate climate but if you live in Canberra and it is winter I have discovered that if the bio is left in the washtank during a few cold nights it will cloud and later the cloud will drop/settle to the bottom of the tank and when I take the top off (I always leave approx 20litres in the bottom of my washtank) the resulting bio clouds at a much lower temp... I recon it could be as much as 5 degrees.
I am thinking that if I chilled the Bio in the washtank further there maybe more cloud then the resulting bio might even be better at lower temps than the samples I have been collecting....then the cloudy bio could be collected and used during the summer months...
I hope everyone can understand that ramble
BTW I don't intend to chill my Bio to try this as I really have no need for cold weather bio as I am running Dino Diesel in my subtank during the cold times.
