Pour the mixed and dissolved methanol/lye into the oil, rather than pouring the oil into the methoxide. The concentrated methoxide deteriorates the plastic pop-bottle very quickly, so adding it last helps protect the plastic a little. Use a funnel, wear gloves and eye protection. Keep a bottle of vinegar handy to neutralize spills (on skin). Have something to put the bottle into (5-gallon plastic buckets work fine), in case it starts leaking. It'll create a little gas pressure at first - be careful when you release the pressure. Be patient, and expect dramatic results overnight.

So, here are my results in picture format.
1) SVO 2) BioDiesel (I think) 3) BioDiesel (that i added water to and then boiled off) So, look at my pictures and hopefully an expert will verify that it's really biodiesel Oh, picture 2 is post syphoning (i.e. no gylcerol left) Two questions: Can I pout #2 directly in the tank and not worry about the possible acid levels? What does everyone think about #3? Is it messed up now because of the water? I'm itching to put this stuff in my tank! I've got about a gallon of the #2 picture.
