"Methacid" method

[nathanrobo]

You want a litre of fuel down?  My last batch was rushed a bit, cos a mate was coming to pick up my plant and take it up North to convert all of the oil he's stored up.

But it should be okay.

I could ship in a hdpe container, I could ship a litre from Steve, PJ, Andy and anyone else near that could get a litre to me.  Would that help?

Im not sending any, he takes the wee wee out of the posh bottles i bought!
Thinking about it, its better than him putting it in!

Yes, very much but they would need to have made the bio with this "Methacid" method, taken a sample before adding the "Methacid" and demethed/washed (whatever their normal finishing method is) that separate to the main batch.

For shipping, you can get away with jam jars carefully wrapped on bubble wrap or just use the little "yuppie" water bottles.

I don't remember taking the urine ... sounds most unlike me.  I do remember being surprised at you extravagance and deeply impressed by your seemingly immense wealth.

I even cleaned the labeling off and stored the things for several months returning them to you at Chugs ... there's gratitude for you!

So would vinegar neutralised with 50 / 50 test - pump washed be up to the standard?  If so, I could send a couple of samples in yuppie bottles.

I think there would be a lot of merit in testing the titrated acid wash in due course, but currently we are looking to test the "Methacid" method which may be better at winterising.

I spoke to Paul this evening and he's looking at obtaining a dry chemical, which might be less onerous to use, but I'll leave him to fill in the details.

No worries!  Thanks mate, look forward to hearing from PC

Hi all
I'm getting some dry acid in the new year that I think may mix better with methanol so if you are interested in testing the dry wash meth acid process let me know and I will get some out to you with instruction' of what we are hoping to achieve.

Paul

Ps will elaborate more when time allows

[Head Womble]

I'd like to give it a go Paul.

[william crosby]

i would also like to give this a try to see the out come

All good stuff, If we can get several people involved I'll run similar chill tests as I did before.  The new temperature controller should be winging it's way from China right now!

[Carrington]

Morning all
Picked up my dry acid product yesterday so after I do some test to make sure it's easy to use I will be a le to send some out to people for trials. 
Also got some acertone so will start doing some tests with that.

Paul

I may be snowed in the unit for sometime

[Julian]

My temperature controller has been delivered, so all ready to go with chilling tests too.

[Carrington]

Cool let the games begin

[Julian]

I hope that was intended to be a pun.
