Making a routine batch of biodiesel, the WVO titrated @ about 6. Mixed the KOH & methanol into the heated WVO. Drained the glycerine. Washed with about 15 gallons of water. Drained all but about 3 gallons off. The remaining 3 gallons were just sloppy goop. I decided to just put in the bubbler to try to dry the rest out since the bubbler blew air into the top of the tank.
A day later, I found the whole tank just turned into 30 gallons of sloppy goop. How do I get this stuff to separate out? I've tried heating it up real hot, but it doesn't seem to be yielding the results.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Will the stuff eventually separate out w/ good biodiesel on top? How long will it take? Right now, the temperature outside is around 60 F.
