Moved Reply: location: Berkeley, Ca supplier and their address/phone number/website: Pacific Coast Chemicals 2424 Fourth Street Berkeley, California 94710 Phone: (510) 549-3535 Fax: (510) 549-0890 open M-F 9-4:30 or 4:00 also- many other locations throughout the West that I havne't checked into: http://www.pcchem.com/location.htm. purity Cost: KOH currently stacks up to $65 a 50 pound bag. NaOH should be cheaper, I haven't checked in years Special notes: need business license (I faxed them a first order on construction company letterhead), also this place is SLOW! bring a good book as youll be waiting for an hour for the warehouse. They dont' take credit cards. Call ahead and act professional, they still dont' understand biodiesel and may act suspicious of you if you don't sound like you know what you're ordering.This message has been edited.

Moved Reply: location: San Lorenzo, near Berkeley, Ca supplier: ERC (engine Research Co) fuels http://www.ercracingfuels.com/ 610 East Lewelling Blvd San Lorenzo, CA 94580 (800) 445-1479 hours: M-F, 9-5, saturday 9-noon, hours vary slightly depending on racing season, no Sundays! purity pure methanol Cost: somewhere around $2.50-2.65 a gallon? Special notes: Unlike Pacific Coast Chem, they know all about biodiesel and are very fast and friendly. Occasionally they'll be out, call ahead first. Bring your own carboys or drums to save on the drum deposit. They sell 15-gallon or 55-gallon quantities, or will fill your own "whatever" containers. | |||
