Drying washed biodiesel

I'm sorry for the language in this video, but I thought it would still be better to see a video with a foreign language than not see the video at all.

Drying biodiesel is simple. All we have to do is drain the water from the bottom and lift the aquarium stone up a quarter of the hight so dry air is pumped into the biodiesel and moist air leaves the bottle.

Here in the left bottle we have the 4th wash where the biodiesel is misty from the water, and in the right bottle we have been drying biodiesel for 16 hours and ther is practically no water left in the biodiesel.

Washing raw biodiesel continued

Beginning of 3rd wash. The water is not clean because its waste water from my previous 4th wash a month ago. I should probably use more water under the biodiesel.

Washing raw biodiesel

Duration of first wash was 9 hours, then I replaced the milky water with fresh tap water.

Duration of second wash was 12 hours and you can see here what the water looked like after this second wash.
