It's ALIVE!!
Well not really...............but it does work! Just ran my first test of my new rotary oil cleaner and it works great. Takes all the labor out of dumping and cleaning 30-40 cubes of WVO. Now I just have to finish the 500 gal heating tank and I can start processing oil again. Just in time too, as I just signed a 2 year contract for 3,500 gal/mo from Portland,Or. After 2 years I may just start making some money with this..................More to spend on my FORDS!!!

Hey, I keep keying up on the use of your term cubes. Can you give me a little description on that? Oh, and call me again if your able to spare some next week. I may be delivering another trailer there. Thanks, Troy

Fabman,
congrats on the latest mod. sounds like you're on the upside of the curve.
Got a question. What's your estimate of the efficiency of methanol recovery? How much do you get back on a percentage basis per unit of methanol put into a batch?

Looks like I may miss you again! I've got a speach and Biodiesel demo In Baker City next week the 16th tru the 18th. I'd love to get you some fuel but I'm still down for another 2 weeks till the new processer install is complete. If I don't quit "flapping my gums" at these Bio demos and Co-Op meetings I'll never get it finished! I'm going to have to get it in gear soon or I'm going to run out myself.
PM me your Phone number again I can't seem to find it in the thing I call my "desk"!

No prob. Im wanting to jump on that same bandwagon here. Im having probs trying to locate the local co-op groups. Got any hints? We need to set up a time and actually meet. It might be possible to expand your biz here as a LLC or sister plant. I can get any addatives I want as Im trying to become the rep in my state. It helps if I can represent the local Primrose chemicals and have a fuel developed too. Im pm ing you now.
