  • clean bubbles

  • Here I'm testing the biodiesel to make sure it is clean. The idea is to shake the biodiesel with some water and make sure it seperates fairly quickly. Then if the water is clear it means the biodiesel is pretty clean. I fill a bottle half full of the biodiesel.
  • ready to test

  • Then I fill the other half of the bottle with water.
  • add water

  • Then I shake the bottle real hard for a minute or two.
  • shake

  • Here it has been sitting for 10 minutes after the shake.
  • wait 10 minutes

  • Here it has been sitting for 20 minutes after the shake.
  • wait 20 minutes

  • Here it has been sitting for 30 minutes after the shake.
  • wait 30 minutes

  • Here it has been sitting for about an hour after the shake.
  • wait 1 hour

  • washer drained

  • A close up of the to of the stand pipe. There's a little biodiesel still in there. That biodiesel along with the water and crap removed in the last wash will all be part of the first wash for my next batch.
