Hello, I have sucsessfully completed two 40 gallon batches
I am having trouble with my next test batch. The first test was with Sodium Hydroxide, the second with KOH. Results as follows with 1 liter test:
First test Sodium: Titrated at 9 then added 5 total sodium 14 grams total methanol 220 ml
Second test KOH: Titrated at 12 then added 7 Total KOH 19 plus 1 for purity Total methanol 220 ml
With both tests the reaction was the same. The glyserin and meth seperated to the bottom but, the fuel left on top is a clear black. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Bad WVO? Thanks for any help. Paul at the top was a clear black.
The darker your oil is when you start, the darker your bio will be. My oil titrates at 9-10 NAOH on a regular basis, and my bio is also dark, but not black, dark brown
