Re: Possible to unreact biodiesel?

If you go below the stoichiometric level (I think it's about 13% methanol), you can have the methyl esters recombine with the glycerin molecules.

However since you've probably used a base line of about 20%, I doubt you'd be able to boil off enough methanol for the reaction to reverse itself.

I take it this is with unwashed biodiesel?
