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
