Actually making my biodiesel

First of all I need to make my methoxide.
I put 34 litres of methanol in a carboy and add the 765 grames of NaOH, closing it tightly. Then I swirl it around two or three times and put it down. Every now and then I return to swirl it again, left and right, two or three times, until I can't hear the lye move inside anymore because it's disolved. This usually takes the same time that it takes 170 litres of oil to come to a temperature of 55°C (131°F).
Now I put 170 litres of oil in my reactor and turn on the 2000W heater I took from a brocken down washing mashine.
Now it takes about one hour for the oil to get hot enough, and the methoxide to be fully mixed.
I start the pump that suckes oil from the reaktor and returns it back in. I open the valve that has a hose on it that is emerged into the methoxide, and the pump starts sucking, not only oil from the reactor but also methoxide - returning it all into the reactor.
There's a valve on top of the reactor with a long hose leading outdoors as far away from the garage as possible, and as low as possible (methanol fumes are heavier than air, so I let them go downhill away from me).
This valve is needed because putting 34 litres of methoxide in my reactor requires 34 litres of fumes to be removed from the processor. Plus, there is a chemical reaction going on in the reactor which brings additional heat and expanssion. (don't have your oil preheated over 55°C).
After all methoxide is in the processor I close the valve on top.
I now, let it mix for a whole hour (although I'm pretty sure the reaction is over in 40 minutes), and I keep the heat at 55°C (131°F).
Now I unplug anything that is electrical and leave it alone for 24 hours.
The next day 180 litres of biodiesel is sitting on top of 24 litres of glicerol.
So you see it really only takes 1 hour to heat the oil and another hour to mix it. That's two hours and you have biodiesel. Biodiesel that I used in my 1989 VW golf.
Problems I had using biodiesel were my fuel lines, which were made of rubber and had to be replaced every 3 months. Oh yeah, before I forget, my little golf died once and needed to be hauled off to a garage, my injector pump had parts made of rubber too!
The mechanic told me he installed silicon parts instead of rubber, but he had no idea if that was better or not, cause he had no previous interaction with biodiesel himself.
Well I wasn't ready to sit around and wait to find out. I simply sold "old faithfull" and bought a 2002 VW passat. The brosure said it was "biodiesel safe" but only with biodiesel sold at gas stations. For me that simply meant washing and drying were from now on - a must.
Have been using washed and dried biodiesel in my passat for about 16.000km (10.000 miles), since may 2006, and have had no problems so far.
