Making Biodiesel In Cold Weather
- Tips & Tricks
|
 Making Biodiesel in a cold environment can bring with it several challenges. The oil is thicker and likes to gel, the glycerin tends to get thick, it's possible to get poorly reacted batches due to heat loss and water washing can be a complete nightmare. So, we figured we'd share some of our tips & tricks for successfully making Biodiesel when the temperatures are low!
