For instance, they list a base using KOH as 5.1g/litre (100% purity). At that quantity your fuel will be underreacted. Today it is fairly common knowledge that 7g/litre (100% purity) is the accepted base. (BTW, 90% purity is the most commonly available KOH around here, so I adjust to 7.7g/litre).
I think if JTF updated critical things such as this, it would be a great site. And it is a great site if you're just checking things out initially before you get started. But to get the latest in biodiesel and svo developements, check out the link I posted above.
