Re: Very Serious Problem With WVO
Wow... thanks for the heads up. Please let us know what the pH turns out to be.
I've found pH paper difficult to use on oil-based products. There is no water to react with the paper and there really isn't any pH or so a chemist told me. However, if they have some traces of water and that water contains a caustic cleaner, the pH should show.
Most kitchen cleaners are very high pH. The same caustic that we use to react with the vegetable oil works for cleaning the kitchen fryers as well.
What about balancing the pH as part of a water wash prior to filtering? Some have said they do a low pressure water mist wash and it helps drop out the solids better. We could adjust the pH at the same time and produce a neutral pH cleaner oil.
What were the symptoms of the engine? Have you inspected any other injectors from folks running heated veggie? Any running biodiesel?
Thanks again for your post.
Todd
