Making A Small Batch - Part 1 (06:28) |
Here we talk about how to get ready to make a small batch of Biodiesel from new oil. We'll show you how to weigh out the chemicals, how to make something called Methoxide, and discuss proper safety precaustions when preparing to make your first batch.

Making A Small Batch - Part 2 (07:47)
While our methoxide dissolves we go over everything you'll need to make a mini batch. We talk about where to find the ingredients needed including the chemicals needed, the best kind of oils to use (hint: Chinese restaurants rock!), and discuss some safety issues related to storing chemicals and methanol. We then dump the methoxide in and watch the magic happen!
