Two new draft articles on wiki

[Chug]

I've added a couple of articles on 7% water prewash and drying washed biodiesel, pretty much as they were from the cbt but as I wrote the articles it's cool, it's just text at the mo as I haven't figured out how to make it look all jazzy like the other pages, gonna go and read the help pages!

One of the pages I had to add TOC manually (looked on Julian's venturi page , the other page added a TOC on it's own?

[Tony]

The TOC is added automatically if you have 4+ headers in the body but can be forced for smaller articles by adding __TOC__ where you want it to be.

Headers are defined like this:

== LEVEL 1 HEADER ==
=== LEVEL 2 HEADER ===
==== LEVEL 3 HEADER ====

Article on prewash look good - I've renamed it to just "Water Prewash" leaving the 7% out of the title since it's mentioned in the body plenty, plus it's more URL friendly that way and will automatically be connected to a hanging link in the drywash article

I'll look at merging your drywash and my drywash articles too.

Edit: Ah, I see yours is on drying previously water washed biodiesel, not the same thing as hardwood drywashing after all - maybe this needs to be clearer.

[Chug]

yeah sussed out the TOC from reading Julian's post after I'd posted here, and got the header levels etc from help pages.
good cal on removing the 7% for url tidiness
and maybe it should be drying wet biodiesel?

[Tony]

and maybe it should be drying wet biodiesel?

I'd go with that!

Nice prewash page, looking good.  Is it worth mentioning other %ages some people use 5%.  Also you could add links to future pages with [[  ]] as with "dry wash"  doesn't matter the pages don't yet exist ie ...

glycerol
methanol
methoxide
emulsion
catalyst


I found a little trick when doing the cast venturi page.  I linked to silver solder but later wanted to use the term silver soldered but still have it linked to a page called silver solder.  If you write it like this it overcomes the problem ... [[silver solder]]ed.

good point Julian

maybe add:

After experimentation 7% was found to give the best result, but it will still work well with 5%

I've just been concentrating on getting the gist of the article good for now and can edit links to other pages later, yeah I saw that bit too about text after the link can be included in the link if you don't leave a space.

In the article you say 7% water by total liquid volume (Bio+Methoxide), I've always done 5-7% by original oil volume (not including Methoxide).  Your 7% is bigger than mine - have I been doing it wrong?

[Chug]

I dunno about wrong mate, just different, if it aint broke an all that.

[Tony]

Ah, I remembered why I did it by oil volume - it was mentioned on GL's page:

http://www.graham-laming.com/bd/ecosystem/state_diagram_new.htm

"the amount should be 5% or 1/20th of the amount of oil you dosed the tank with"

If you've long been successfully prewashing with 7% of bio+22% meth volume then that's the equivalent of 8.5% by dosed oil volume - a good sign that we can put quite a lot of water in without issue. 

Do you use 22% Meth or 25% (I seem to remember you saying you used more to ease the stoic calc)?

[Chug]

I dunno geezer, I just went on the original tests done by Idaho University (IIRC) which went on volume of processor contents and then further experimentation by Infopop chemist 'Neutral' along with HCII's and my own testing.
