Would you bother re-reacting.....

[Bio-boy]

I have just done a 10/90 test and had .3 fallout. Would you bother re-reacting or would you accept that result.

I was rushed for time so didn't spend as much time as I usually would processing the batch.

It depends on what vehicle it'll be used in, personally I would but then I drive a common rail.

It never pays to rush a brew.

I wouldn't but that's because I've got a car that will run on veg if needed.

Would be cautious about an emulsion if adding any water in your process though.

As said your car will dictate the answer

110 TDi

Vag 110 TDI is a veg motor I would not bother even if it was much higher.

As said, for an indirect injection engine, don't bother. If it was direct, common rail, ideally the dropout should be zero.

I am informed that from GC testing/10/90 test the bonded glycerine spec will just pass if the dropout does not exceed 0.15mls. This figure is based on the fact that up to 2% triglycerides will not show up on a 10/90 test due to their small solubility in methanol. This is also why if the 10/90 test shows a pass, then the conversion should be expressed as
> (greater than) 98%

I never did a second stage when driving veg friendly motors no matter how bad the result so in the end I stopped testing.

I used to run partial conversion in the Delica all the time.  The only thing I would add is that sometimes a partial conversion seems to stop the soaps settling out properly, and clouds very easily with moisture.

These days I'm picky and always got for a clear pass even though the car is a proper Bosch veg muncher.  Do a job properly and all that
