Re: Very Serious Problem With WVO
I'm believing that the problem is free fatty acids. That the oil was well used and very acidic. It wouldn't surprise me if this is responsible for most of teh wear and tear seen on WVO systems. On the link that other guy posted to JTF, I hjave read stories about oil titrating to as hig as 15. I've gotten some nasty stuff from my supplier but all theirs alwasy titrates around .5- 2.0. Titration is really the appropriate way to test for basicness or acidity in cooking oil, diesel or biodiesel. Some will say you can do it with a pH meter, and maybe you can, but I've heard pH strips don't work well at all.
