[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1019993, member: 694"] I don't have a clue my chemistry background is in hydrocarbon's. I do know that most biofuel's have a lower btu value than traditional hydrocarbon's. Example ethanol is like 96000 btu's per gallon. I also know that most biofuel's have acid issues as well and less lubricity in the studies I have read. We had a division that played in biofuel's and could never get it to be profitable to mass produce. I am surprised on the motor oil in you are not having alot of parrifin diesel is a C-16 hydrocarbon and motor oil is a C-36. The C-36 under the right condition's should burn much hotter as you have over twice as much stored energy in the carbon molecule. The longer the hydrocarbon molecule the more nasties are attached. Organic N and Sul under those conditons makes sulfric acid and ammonia along with NOX and SOX. I am amazed it is legal to run. [/QUOTE]
