If it is "do'able" then I want to see if there's a business out there for me.<BR/><BR/>As for quality standards, the EN would be nice howver testing to the standard is VERY expensive. In the region of £500 ($1000) per sample set. There are some moves afoot to get this down but as yet they aren't.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>MarcMJ Pantonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784093133939764685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8061153751994247005.post-51021468933181651852007-07-20T15:28:00.000+00:002007-07-20T15:28:00.000+00:00PS.

I'm not sure if you actually have made any B100 yet?!?<BR/><BR/>Looks to me like you haven't.<BR/><BR/>Further down the line it may be prudent to use your Biodiesel in a blended petro-diesel-biodiesel blend?<BR/>e.g. B5 as is currently licenced for retail by the gov.<BR/><BR/>B20 (20% Biodiesel blend) is infact part of the EU's renewables roadmap.... and if your'e struggling on your own fuel, (and to be sensible) you should start off by using a blend until your quality improves to your desired level.<BR/>SEE: http://ec.europa.eu/energy/res/legislation/doc/biofuels/en_final.pdf<BR/><BR/>http://ec.europa.eu/energy/res/legislation/biofuels_en.htm<BR/><BR/><BR/>This way you can nip any unwanted issues with your fuel early... and minimise any maintainance and other issues.<BR/><BR/>Just a few friendly points... that I'd be doing personally if I were you.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309743476683267703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8061153751994247005.post-30793732914507282652007-07-20T15:09:00.000+00:002007-07-20T15:09:00.000+00:00You should be aiming to make to EN14214 standard.....You should be aiming to make to EN14214 standard.... - that way you won't have any problems.<BR/><BR/>Depending on your feedstock you should look to certain additives also.
