Biodiesel processing mixture question?

Question

Is it possible to pocess biodiesel fuel with ethanol instead of methanol. What would be the difference in the quantity of ethanol used per litre of vegetable oil.

Answer 1

Bio-diesel is only for diesel motors. Never put gasoline or ethanol into a diesel motor.

Answer 2

Making biodiesel using ethanol is a tricky process, not as simple as making it with methanol but there are a few papers out there try http://journeytoforever.org/ethanol_link... I have found it much easier to just use methanol it’s easy to get at any airport small or large and there are tons of papers out there to use as a guide when making it. I believe the quantity will be the same there are just a few more steps and the time to process is longer. To me it’s just not worth it but check out the website and from there you can find some papers that might help you. Hope this was helpful
