New to BioDiesel questions
I have been reading stuff on this site, which I see you guys refference a lot.
http://www.biodieselcommunity.org/gettingstarted/ I have a basic understanding on how BD is made. I know I should invest in a appleseed processor and I will soon but first, I am going to make a few batches using the 2 liter bottle method. Questions 1. How do you drain off the glycerin ?(out of the 2 liter bottle) I am thinking a siphon pump. 2. Instead of a 2 liter soda bottle is there a cheap container that I can buy with a bottom drain ? 3. How do you filter the WVO ? 4. I did not see anything about drying a small batch using the 2 Liter bottle method, any good drying ideas ? |
The instructions that I had said to put your thumb over the mouth of the bottle as you turned the bottle over very gently. I didn't care for that, so I siphoned using fuel line from radio-controlled aircraft. as far as filtering the WVO, I used a strainer. If I were to do that again I woud probably put a coffee filter inside the strainer. Didn't see anything on drying it, only washed it several times. Google "Dr. Pepper method".
