By the way (and I meant to bring this up earlier), when I am at the final wash, and the bio is settling prior to transfering to drying tank, I can look down into my wash tank and see clear down through the bio to the water layer. Clear as a bell through a few wisps at the interface layer, I can easily see my bubble ring and heating element. And as clear and sparkling as it is, I am 100% sure that biodiesel is quite wet.
