Today we started the first step in our main lab of this biodiesel unit! We created a mixture of biodiesel that will be used to power a put-put boat in a race. By placing a combination of used fryer oil and potassium hydroxide in a hot water bath, we produced a blend that will have to be separated later for pure biodiesel.

These are some great pictures of your biodiesel. I really enjoyed this lab and thought it was cool being able to make our own fuel.
