Title: Excellent Biodiesel handbook
Post by: jtodd on December 06, 2007, 12:57:19 AM
I found this document, published by the US Department of Energy, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy department.  It's a really good overview of biodiesel storage, temperature considerations, blending, different names and acronyms, chemical makeup, etc.  Everyone who uses biodiesel should read this; it's a great resource for the beginner as well as the mostly-clueful.

Biomass Biodiesel Handling and Use Guidelines
DOE/GO-102006-2288
Second Edition
K.S. Tyson and R.L. McCormick
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)
March, 2006
68 pages

I opened this PDF a week or two ago, but completely forgot what site I got it from.  I tried finding the "right" link on-line to an NREL page, but the @#%@#% search engine at the various DOE websites was totally worthless.  They had a 2004 edition (not the 2006 edition I saved) and I have better things to do with my time, so I just saved my own copy here:
