I heard that too.  But I don't think we're talking about the same thing.

 ;D

Why so large, I made a complete tank full inside the eye of a needle, mind you it was a small tank.

I'm gonna try a batch on the back of a single bacteria.

This is an interesting twist on the usual "Who's biggest".

I wouldn't fancy sticking a heater element in a plastic 25litre drum  :o

to save yourself the hassle... is there no-one close to you who make bio, which you could swap some oil for ?

unless you just want to do it for fun/experiment/hobby... then I'd try to get one of those 10gallon metal buckets and build it inside there...

do you de-water your oil ? you could always heat your oil first, then put it in a well insulated reactor... it should stay hot enough to react ?

I have a new friend to make bio for me,

Just wanted something to play with

I do dewater, so i can just fill it with hot oil.

What a stirring paddle to mix it.

I could mount it through the lid on a bearing block.

And put a drain fill on the bottom to drain soap and fill with water for bubbling

im going to do all that but in a matchbox while going backwards on the m25

 ;)

Done that but on a high wire whilst riding uni-cycle sideways up the entire length of the M6.

When I get me new specs I'm gonna take a single triglyceride molecule, pull the glyc particles off the hydrocarbon chains and glue 3 methanol bits on with arldite.

So there.

all that then set fire to it, watch that sucker go... while sleeping, sipping a banana milkshake, upside down, inside out and back to front

Aha! caught you out now 'cause you can't sip a milk shake upside down AND inside out at the same time, well not according to the first law of thermodynamics you can't.
