"storing" WVO

[The patriot]

Is there any way to store this stuff? I've heard of the oil "spoiling" or getting stinky. I guess it wouldnt be useable as fuel at that point.

I have a empty 550 tank (& several 35 gallon drums), I also have constructed an Appleseed bio generator. I have all the parts, it's just not assembled yet.

If I were to heat the WVO say to 150 deg & circulated it for a few hours to and get all the water content out, would it still rot?

I really dont want to get into the whole methanol side of this... . I dont fully understand the water wash process even though I've read just about every link on the subject.

Plus methanol is almost $5 a gallon!!!

I'm leaning more towards the WVO side. I will HIGHLY filter it before using it in the ol 12 valver.



Any suggestions?

yes it will store just fine if it starts stinking then put a little diesel fuel in it 1 gallon in 250 will make the stink go away.



read all you can on making biodiesel and think about the by products you get 20% of that oil is a waste product if you make biodiesel.



good luck
