Re: Blending gasoline with biodiesel
OK, having trouble with internet connection, so here goes for 4th time.
first photo here - 3/27 test drop out. no surprises, as I only use 3.5 grams of caustic plus titration value.
2nd photo - 0.3ml of drop out. this equates to a 90% conversion.
3rd photo - bio / petrol sample with the beejeesus shaken out of it and left for 1 hour. looking pretty precipitate free there I would say.
4th photo - same sample from different angle.
Seeing the bio I used was from the bottom of my mixer full of glycerine (you can see from the colour) probably soaps and caustic too, I would expect some drop out now anyway. nothing. will see what the next couple of days bring.
by the way - the sample has not been filtered at all. not once. not even the oil through a stocking before I brewed it. there should be food particles galore in there.
the 3/27 test, the colour and my experience would tell me that my sample is from a typical brew.
Sorry Jeffery, but its not looking good for 10:1 bio to petrol as helping to drop out any contaminants. This bio sample is about as grubby a bio sample you could get, and there is no drop out.
