You might regret saying that ;)

Got this oil usage form
http://www.biofuel-uk.net/OIL-USE-FORM.doc
and this about Tam 105,s if there of anyuse on here
http://www.vegetableoildiesel.co.uk/forum/viewthread.php?tid=11595

Don't suppose you know if the TAM105 pic is copyright free? Obviously no-one has objected to it on the vegoildiesel forums though!
-
All i know is it was sent to me by machine mart when i requested it
-
Keith, as you are on the verge of starting a new page and are new to all this, could you check out my post "Starting point for a new page" and try being a "guinea pig"
If you want to make a page called "Apples", do a search on Apples and click the link "Create the page "Apples" on this wiki! ", then, in a new window, go to http://www.biopowered.co.uk/wiki/New_Page , click edit and copy the code, paste this into the text box on the "Apples" page and use it as your starting point.
I know it might sound complicated but once you get going it's not too bad.
-
he will get there
all i did was jump in and have ago....
play with buttons / links / editing tools and see what comes out the othe rend...
the rest, well you can lawys ask....
;D
-
Best way to learn ... it's all I've ever done!
-
Rot sent you an email with my soap guide but i will have a go as Julian has suggested first
-
If you get something - anything - up, we'll all chip in to get it looking/reading good :)
-
Stuck at the beginning,ive searched and opened the "apple" page but where is the edit button and then the text box on the apple page?
Might have to buy a pump in the next 8 min to cheer myself up

save = saves page to edit it again sometime... you need to drop a code/tag at bottom of page for it to list
~~~~ adds your user to the page, meaning your name goes in as creator!

Uh whats drop a code/tag at bottom of page mean?

look good did you do all that yourself? :-\
-
All mines from glyc,hopefully Chug will add the pics,i would,nt mind changing the title to something like
How to make bar soap from Glycerol-need to think on that one,any suggestions?
-
I've changed it to http://www.biopowered.co.uk/wiki/Making_bar_soap_from_Glycerol and this is now linked from the front page, though that doesn't have to be it's final name!
-
On the theme of new subjects maybe we need a very very basic page explaing the difference between using veg and bio
This particular post brought this to mind
http://www.vegetableoildiesel.co.uk/forum/viewthread.php?tid=21004&page=1#pid230646
-
Yes definitely, that thought has occurred to me as well. Just a simple explaination that assumes the reader knows little on the subject.
Felt sorry for that guy, asked a simple question and sounded confused and people go off on one rather than type a sensible reply?

muhaaaaaaaaaaa interesting read.... :o
;)
-
JTF page is quite interesting.
I didn't start with SVO and a Dr Pepper batch. I did a lot of research and then dived straight in with an 80l batch of WVO.
I remember having sheets of printed notes and carefully following the instructions, making sure all the steps were done correctly and in the right order.
Now it's all second nature, quick titration, prod a calculator, mix it up, throw a few valves, done ;D
-
It's a bit out of date now I suppose but maybe this site can supersede it
I've got that oilybits app for my calcs,so simple wish I'd thought of it

oi do some work lol :o
:D
-
Tony,i think you might have to change the post ratings for wvo users,i had to explain to the Rottmeister what glycerol was,he wanted to know if he could eat it ;D
-
If he's hungry I've got lots he can have. Free ketchup if he takes it!

Fair point, that thought did cross my mind last week - I'm open to suggestions!
Edit: Made them a bit more common between bio/veg :)

Just uploaded a real time glycerol settling clip

If there of any use anywhere
-
Isn't it quiet?
Keith, do you have any still photos of your processor?
I'll defiantly put the diffuser in your processor page to compliment the sparge pipe. Bet it stinks when you're drying the oil ... probably best not to mention that doesn't happen with a GL.
-
Very!
(http://i316.photobucket.com/albums/mm323/KRH01/untitled.jpg)
I think i must be lucky with the oil ,i just get a veggy smell,processors outside tho
Posted the soap water pics on the t tub thread
-
Thanks Keith.
Processor pic is great ... I want to fill the gap next to the contents box.
Soap photo looks ideal and can also go in the wash section of your page but it's only 100 pixels wide. Any chance of a larger version please circa 600 pixels?
-
Is this better?
(http://i316.photobucket.com/albums/mm323/KRH01/SoapwaterL-R1hr3hr6hr-1.jpg)
-
Fantastic, thanks.
-
Very off topic i know,but the last few posts about the wiki on Paddys site have completely lost me ???
-
I'm not certain, but reading between the lines I guess Alex had one of his posts regarding correct English and spelling edited/deleted and seems a little miffed from the tone of things.
I've just approved him as a wiki editor so hopefully he can correct some of my sloppy smelling and grammar!
-
A bigger still of the diffuser would be good too.
Just a thought but, would it be more efficient if the cone was a steeper angle or curved so that the "spray" ended up more horizontal? The idea might work better than the Squirrel I've made!
-
The steeper the angle the better i would of thought,i tried a steeper one on mine (about 5 mins) but i was getting a lot of splatter leaving the clip top

-
Thanks Keith. It's now on your page.
-
Thanks for upgrading the page with the diagrams etc Julian it looks really smart now
-
No probs, I quite enjoy it when I get time. It's still not finished though. The wash tank section need completing. Thinking about it the wash tank could be a separate section on it's own to save page getting too long.
What do you recon?

It would make sense to be a seperate section,and if you want to dump my diagram feel free,it rather lowers the tone now :)
-
Ok, that's all tidied up now, so I guess the page is finished. Really appreciate close scrutiny by a couple of people, just to ensure I've not made any howlers!.
I think having a separate wash tank page makes sense as it could then be used in conjunction with other processor types.
I've renamed all the processor pages so the group alphabetically in the index and I'm part way through the wash tank diagram. I will list this with the prefix of "processor" to keep things consistent.
Does anyone have experience of "bubble washing" where a reservoir of water sits below the bio and air is bubbled into the water carrying small amounts up into the bio with each bubble?
-
Oh, sorry, forgot to say ... Keith, can you go to your page and stick 4 squiggles at the bottom above the category ( ~~~~ ) to give you credit for the page.
-
I think Nigel bubble washes
-
I just looked a little closer at your wash tank drawing, it's difficult to make out but the air lines look to be dipping below the water level .. . I assume that was unintentional.
-
Oh, and I'll contact Nige and see if he can offer any assistance.
-
Where can i find the pic at the mo?
-
Think this might be a reply to the wash tank thread. If so I didn't mean right now!

It was a reply to the bit about the yellow air lines,couldnt find the orig pic
-
Oh, sorry, my mistake!
I didn't delete it, It's still on the wiki, just not posted on a page.
See "special pages", in toobox, then "Gallery of new files". If you scroll back several pages of 48 images it's there. URL ... http://www.biopowered.co.uk/wiki/File:Kh1.JPG

This might be useful somewhere,its the link to download HMRC 179E
http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/downloadFile?contentID=HMCE_CL_000205
-
Good point Keith.
I'll stick it on the rules and regs page when I get a chance.
-
Just checked, Tony already has a link to the web page version on the rules and regs page. May not hurt to have a link to the full pdf doc though.
-
Definitely useful to include.
Speaking of which, the forum discussion on 27/3 accuracy has greatly clarified a few things in my mind about how it works and accuracy - so I'll watch the thread with interest and add more detail to the wiki pages that mention it.
Still enjoying accumilating the finer points all into one place. Getting very proud of our little wiki project :)
