All of the other pics I have seen of washed bioD are clear. why is mine cloudy? also what is the white stuff at the very bottom? is that soap? is it normal?

looks like it needs to be dried. mine is hazy like that untill I dry it. the white at the bottom may be more water that is setteling out as it sits longer.

But looks like a good start to the bio world. Congrats!!!

Yep you need to dry it. it will clear and that white stuff at the bottom is water.

Wash it again, and wash it until that white stuff (soapy water) is clear. Then dry it. Looks good so far. After you are done drying it, nice and clear, no fog left, do the 27/3 test to see if you got complete conversion.
