what about hemp oil?
Old bong water?
I was directed to this thread last night. I'm just in the dreaming stage of getting into diesel, the possibilities are almost endless. I have tons of questions, mostly incredibly newbie style questions.
One for now would be...how does bio or wvo compare to pump fuel as far as cetane goes...can the same compression rations be run or...higher or lower?
The methanol used in the conversion process, can it be reclaimed in any useful form? It seems a shame to throw all that away when it could potentially be re-used in a water/methanol injection system.
At the end of the process, what becomes of the lye? Is it converted to some inert compound. is it still toxic/caustic if so, how is it disposed of?
What kind of numbers are we talking about here...out of, say 100 gallons of waste oil...how much waste lye, methanol, glycerin is there to store or dispose of?
