Re: RE: mixmasters Digest, Vol 30, Issue 2

Hey Bill,

I did send a reply about your truck.

Basically I don't have all the ducks in a row so that we can maximize
the usage of your vehicle.  Don't know if there are totes to pick up
at the same time as getting methanol.
If we can do all these at once it saves lots of time and energy.

As far as filtration goes, we don't filter anything smaller than
window screen size.  The reason for this is that when you preheat all
the water and particles sink to the bottom and you drain them off
before reacting.  If there are still residual particles in the oil
they will come out with the glycerin.  Nice neat and simple so no need
for prefiltering to extreme micron size.
Currently I do filter the finished fuel to one micron just for safety
sake and these filters as well as housings are readily available
through numerous manufactures.


See ya.
