I just need to know what percentage or whatever it is measured in, how much water is acceptable to make biodiesel with?
To do the wash process, the one i would like to try i have just seen to pour the designated 5% water of original volume of oil into the tank and let settle, drain and repeat until the water comes out mostly clear.
But while reading it said not to pour too much or too aggresively or it will mix it too much and make a big batch of "soap". The description said to let the pump do the mixing.
Does that suggest that the pump circulates the water or was that just a typo? I don't see how the water could settle if a pump is continuously circulating the mixture.
