I've found a new oil source a but it says on the box "partially hydroganated soybean oil"... It's not thick and looks like regular soybean oil and comes in 4.60 gallon plastic jugs just like the soybean oil... The used oil is a lot clearer than the used soybean oil I've been using... It's made by ConAgra and the name brand is Crystal from Wesson... The box for the plastic jug came in says Heavy-Duty Clear Shortening for liquid frying convenience... And like I said it is liquid oil and not thick like regular shortening....

It this good oil to use to make biodiesel?????

Thanks in advance

that sounds like the same oil ive been using, mines been titrating at 1 to 2 ml, and has been making good bio for me.

Thanks Wayne H, I'm getting ready to do a titration on this 1st batch and then run a small test batch just to see what happens... I know that is oil "looks" 100% better that what I've been working with... And if it does work the suppy will be more consistant thatn from my other small suppliers... Of course I'll keep them too but this would be just what I need to put me to were I need to be as far as oil supply...

Thanks again.....

That is the saame brand that one of my sources use. It is making great Bio. The only thing is it might not do quite as well in cold weather as in hot weather being it is partially hydrog.

I figure that I'll have to run a blend of dino/bio during the cold weather months ...

I have another question.... Is there anything I can add to my biodiesel to inhibit microbe growth??????? Or do I just need to use it pretty soon after making it??????

Wash and Dry throughly and keep it stored in a sealed container our of direct sunlight and it should last for months, I have some going on 5 months old and no problems at all. Still looks nice a golden clear.
Biocides are very expensive so make good fuel, store it right and you should have no problems.

Thanks Rickh.....

can you guys post the price its going for?

The used oil I'm talking about only cost me a little time to go pick it up when they pour it in my 55 gallon drum... It's from a new C-Store that open a few weeks ago about a mile from my house...
