PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Be sure to set your desired volume to either gallons or liters.
This Titration calculator is set to default to 22% Methanol and 5% Lye for base amounts.

These ratios’s are for the worst case Titration result. If your titration is above 3.0 then leave these settings. If you are in the 2.0 range, we suggest lowering the Methanol percentage to 20% and the Lye percentage to 3.5. If your titration is below 2.0 than 18% methanol is usually ok to use and you can try lowering the Lye to 3.25 or so. We recommend not to exceed the default ratios as well as not to go below 12% methanol and 2.8 on the Lye.

We have been successful with all these ranges and the end result is yours. If you do not feel comfortable with this then just set the Methanol percentage to 20% and the Lye to 3.5. This is the most common setting and you should see a reaction every time.

The recipe is given in liters, gallons, ounces and grams. Be sure to read the grams for the calculated amount of Lye required as well as the correct amount of Methanol
(Gallons or Liters). If you still have questions please feel free to call us direct.

Good Luck and Happy Bio-Diesel eXtracting!
