Biodiesel Rules!
* OFFICIAL CEASE AND DESIST ORDER *
Well ok, strong recommendation.....
Go spend the money for an electric HWH, new 50 gal about 220 bucks, home depot.
Open flames are a disaster waiting to happen.

Biodiesel Rules!
SVOers never get this kind of edict.
Ok for those that have a tiny brain like me....
Edict
# a formal or authoritative proclamation
# decree: a legally binding command or decision entered on the court record (as if issued by a court or judge)

Everyone says never to use a gas hot water heater. I am. Everyone says use an electric WH. This is what I had at the time for free. I have no mthanol fuel vapors anywhere around my setup. I heat the oil to 130* then do my PH test for how muck LYE and Methanol I need. The flame is no longer on after that point. I say you have to be responsible enough to not blow yourself up. I'm on my #6 batch and doing great. Thanx guys

Thanks for clarifying. One thing to remember, someone searching out may not know the difference and proceed to blow them selves up.
Please further clarify that you turn the gas off completely and or you have a spark igniter and not a standing pilot.
But in the end, because of the construction of the gas hot water heater tank construction its self, I would still recommend an electric.
In the end, there is still human interaction to ensure the gas is off, right?

Before any methanol comes around my grage there is no flame and all gas is shut off and that means no pilot light. I do my best to look out for saftey. You can always look for me on the news

I have a house in Vidor,TX 2 hrs from you. I work construction in refineries and it puts me out in Quakefornia alot also. So I'm not always in TX.
I have a set up both places. My largest quantity of oil comes from Calif. Don't know what the deal is w/the restraunts in S.E. TX but they want to be paid for their used cooking oil and right now I'm not willing to pay for it. Out in Calif. I have no less than 500 gallons of oil each month.
