I am waiting for my Fuelmeister 2 prosesser I ordered it is going to be here this weekend or first of next week cant wait to start making my own.$4.79 here in IL
Wieckster,
My buddy has one of those and theres a couple extra things we found that you will need.
First thing is a heating barrel.
He started with a drum and a band heater. It took around eight hours to heat the oil to 140* before pumping it into the Fuelmieser. I built him a heating barrel out of a metal 55 gal. drum with a 240 volt heating element welded in the side and a water heater thermostat. He can now heat the oil up to 140* in about 45 minutes.
The other thing is a drying system of some kind.
I made him a barrel with a circulating pump, heater and four spray nozzles. He can dry the fuel in just a couple of hours.
The other thing I saw that didn't make sense was the chart they give with the kit for how much lye to use. It is a lot less than any of the spread sheets on the web sites you can down load. (Biodiesel Recipe Calculator - Collaborative Biodiesel Tutorial)
I even did a test and used the math equation they say to use on the Bio community site and the numbers still are way lower.
I'm assuming they want you to use the lesser amount to try to prevent making soap with the wash system it uses.
Thats about it good luck.
From what I read it does all that for you, except for heating the oil. I've been looking at another system as well. Its called the freedom fueler deluxe. It uses a drywash sytem. Anyone know anything about this system? What do you think? Thanks
No it doesn't heat and it doesn't dry. It mixes,settles and washes thats it.
My friend has been using his since the summer of '06.I met him after he had purchased it, he is not very mechanically inclined so he could not have built one himself.
I made my own system and use Magnesol because I wasn't too impressed with that system especially for that price.
Heres a link from another forum with some comments on the system. fuel miester II - Diesel Forum - The Diesel Stop.com
PS: The plastic quick disconnect fittings broke in a few months.
