How much Methanol and Methylate do I use to make a 75 litre batch of bio diesel?
You would normally add around 20% methanol to make the catalyst. As we recommend the use of methylate liquid to add to the methanol for the catalyst, this will reduce the volume of methanol needed per batch. As a guide only, you would normally add around 13-15 litres of methanol and 1 to 2 litres of methylate. The exact quantities would vary according to the titration result. The cleaner the oil, the less methylate. The dirtier the oil, the more methylate you will need to add.
