We used magnesol at the coop when I first joined.  One of the biggest 
issues was responsible disposal of the used magnesol. 

As an engineer, it is contrary to all I know to add abrasives to fuel 
and, since I paid more for my diesel than I did for my first house, I 
won't do anything to jeopardize that investment.  It is truly wasteful 
and short sighted to trash a perfectly good vehicle.

 From what I have read, most people referring to waterless washing on 
the web are talking about distilling the methanol off the fuel.  Because 
everything that you wash out of biodiesel is non-soluble in biodiesel 
but soluble in methanol, removing the excess methanol allows all the 
crud to literally drop out of the biodiesel.  I haven't tried it, so I 
can't speak to it's efficacy.  There is a link on the B100supply website 
to the fellow in England who is touting this method.  Many on the Yahoo 
lists are doing it as well.

Good luck,

Felix
