Well Ill let yall know how it works out....its really startin to seperate now, pretty neat!!

Welcome to the World of Biodiesel! At least YOUR first batch was good. My very first batch was in a 100 gal appleseed processer, no puny test batch for me.......
........right? You guessed it, 100 gal of "glop soap"......It was so bad we had to take the top off the processer and dig it out with a shovel and a bucket..........ooops.
Learned a LOT from that.......jump to now, 6,000 gal and going strong! If the new plant works right I should do 30,000+ gal next year.
Again, congrats on your first batch!
