1st sample of Biodiesel, left to right - 1st bottle - Freshly made, unwashed 2nd bottle - Washed but not dried 3rd bottle - Washed & dried	2nd Biodiesel samples, left to right- 1st bottle - Freshly made, unwashed 2nd bottle - Washed but not dried 3rd bottle - Washed & dried Now a simple question- Which fuel would you want to run in your vehicle? Some would have you run either of the first two samples, but we finish our fuel to a high quality, clean fuel as seen in the right sample.	Raw Glycerin This is the byproduct of the biodiesel process that you dispose of. One easy way is to compost it yourself, or give it to a commercial composter. The wash water can be disposed of easily also, as it's basically like soapy water.
Notice the color of the biodiesel. Different oil types will give you different colored biodiesel, and will also change colors more when washing (sometimes). In the middle sample it starts out amber colored then once we mist washed it it went to a very orange color, then back to clear amber when dry. Some oil won't change much as in the first samples, but don't be alarmed if it does. Drying will return it to a normal color.


Notice how the freshly made biodiesel is impossible to read the bottle label through it when it is unwashed or not dried. Some biodiesel companies say this is good enough.	But now that it's dried, you can clearly read the bottle label behind it. It sparkles and is clear (not meaning colorless). We say that biodiesel should look like this. Which would you rather use?	This shows how the water first comes out very milky after only a mistwashing. Then after the mistwash & 2 bubble washes the water is clearer. On the final wash the water is much clearer (about 95% clear) Note that the first bottle showing the mist wash water is a little darker in the picture than in person. It's usually lighter, milky color, but very saturated with soap.


Why it's important to dry the biodiesel. This is washed, but not dried, in a 55 gallon drying tank. The white thing is a pvc intake line for the pump.	Once it has been dried you can see the difference


Our First test batch ever. This is what got us started in Biodiesel. Notice the dark layer of glycerin at the bottom and the lighter colored biodiesel on the top.	This is the way the titration test looks as you begin. At this stage the alcohol, oil & phenol red have been added along with enough titration reference solution to start the whole mix turning a purple or pink color. At this point we need to keep adding more reference solution until everything turns uniformly purple & stays that way for about 20 seconds. We have a full video of a titration in our Videos Store	Here's how it looks after everything has turned purple & stayed that way for 20 seconds or so. Note that it will often look much more milky purple or pink. The exact color doesn't matter. Just when it turns from the yellowish color to this color, and holds, it's done. It will usually go back to yellow after 20-30 seconds, and that's normal if it does.
