http://www.parleysdieselperformance.com/ shows you how to make biodiesel with and some of the bio diesel equipment that you will need to make a small batch of biodiesel with the help of Graydon Blair. For all your bio diesel equipment needs be sure to check out http://www.utahbiodieselsupply.com/

Because your main precursor (vegetable oil) is basically free, and scaling up the refining process will improve the cost effectiveness of what you are doing.
Here the guy is just messing around with a litre of oil, but when you build a decent setup to process large amounts of oil, you are making a very cheap fuel...
Methanol is very cheap, and so is lye. Your oil is basically free if you use used cooking oil. Do the math.

would this formula work in NY where the temps tend to below 40 degrees?
serrano02211979 1 year ago
quick question, I live in new york could i use your formula here? it has been mentioned that in tempatures below 40 bio diesel tends to thicken back up. unfortunately NY temps tend to be below 40 the majority of the year.

so this bio diesel works when its very cold?

can i produce biodiesel using ethanol with the same procedure?

Yes you can

It'd be interesting to do this in a chemisty class, make biodiesel.
And, yeah, methanol is something you'd want under a fume hood, not six inches from your nose. But he's probably using a more dilute solution.
As for me, I used to take hours to complete simple thermodynamics labs, so i'll just buy the heating system and let it pay for itself.

The few times I've worked with methanol in the lab, it was under a fume hood.
This series is very interesting. I wonder if you have any comments regarding the cultivation of algae for biofuels production.
