--===============1446186620== Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=Apple-Mail-5-846760489 --Apple-Mail-5-846760489 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Thanks Pete. Testing is very simple (for now). BEFORE PUMPING FUEL INTO WASH TOTE: We test a sample of fuel before pumping it into the wash. Use the 3/27 test. AFTER DRYING FUEL: We test another sample of fuel when it has dried. Use the 3/27 test AND do a heat test. Here are the test procedures: 3/27 test ------------------------- Mix 3 ml of oil with 27 ml of methanol. Use the yellow bulbed eye dropper to measure oil. Use the 100ml graduated cylinder to measure methanol. There is a glass jar labelled methanol with the other chemical supplies. Mix the two in a closed CLEAN jar. Swirl it for about a minute. As you swirl, if there are any droplets of FFAs, they will coalesce together into a liquid-like bead of pale yellow. If you see any sized bead, the fuel hasn't fully reacted. If you are in doubt, do a second test. Heat test --------------------------- use one of the metal cups to measure 20ml of fuel. Weigh the cup with fuel on the scale and write down the weight. Heat the cup on the hot plate until the temp is 212 degrees Fahrenheit (the boiling point of water). When it reaches 212 turn off the hot plate and remove the cup. Weigh the cup with fuel again and record the weight. If there is a gram or more difference between the preheated and the postheated weights, the fuel probably contains water. If you have questions, call me. 971-563-2477. Have fun. Be safe. Feed Bio the cat 1 cup of food (in the conex).
