Re: Biodiesel storage and explanation

First question: I typically will only store my biodiesel for a maximum of 6 months.

Second question: I use a converted acetylene torch handle and valve system to purge the tank. I let it fill for about 3 minutes with the valves on and the top removed. The nitrogen is lighter than the air being displaced. After that time I put the cap on the fuel tank.

Most of the time I use the biodiesel as soon as it's fully processed, storage is just like a bank account, sometimes I put a lot in there and sometimes I withdraw.
