David, Thanks for the warning, I only work outdoors with it so the accumulation of enough vapors is highly unlikely, was your friend working outdoors? Thanks, Arthur ----- Original Message ----- From: David Dalbey To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2001 3:26 PM Subject: Re: biodiesel

PLEASE BE CAREFUL!! I have a friend that now brews it for resale several hundred gallons at a time. When he started out he was doing a small quantity, stirring it with an electric drill & paint stirring attachment & had a little explosion when vapors were ignited by a spark on the drill. Lost a good portion of his arm hair. Since then he's been using compressed air rather than electric!

Hey all you volks interested in biodiesel check out: http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_link.html all the resources are on this page I also ordered my scale and 50ml beakers also syringes (with 1ml gradations) and droppers from Delta-ed.com. Got some big buckets and big rubber gloves ( the heavy black kind) at a local restaurant supply.You also need a paint stirrer (the small kind for an electric drill), methyl alcohol from a local speed shop, and pure lye (Red Devil works fine , don't use Drano crystals it has aluminum added)BE CAREFUL and feel free to ask more. -Arthur
