Bio/blazer carnage/interlocks and others

so I got off early today. Miles came out and helped me finish up the dodge. We took it out, got some beers, buried a dead catholic (no ****, we do the cemetary) came home, started working on my s10 blazer to get it to run, did a big batch of biodiesel (2 hrs burnt there) got more tires on the blazer, ruined some studs, got the starter on and battery in, went to start it, no gas, bought gas, came back, hole in tank.........I was on the [phone with an interlock company that can put the breathalyzer on my column getting prices and dumping gas in and miles is yelling "no no no!". ****ing huge gash. So, we focused out energies on plumbing more **** for the bio scale up. Our first 100gal batch looks stellar thus far. 24 hours of settling now and some washing. After that we are good. So I guess the W and L's go
Dodge: W it runs great and shifts awesome (the shifting part is hearsay from miles, I wasn't holding on to THAT stick while the drive was going on

)
Bio: W Looks great, gonna be ready to run in 3 days
Interlock device: W I thought it was going to be a $600 to a grand to get this thing done. its $150 up front and $65 a month. not as bad as I was thinking, so I'm stoked.
Blazer: L Okay, I have to have a loss here, we wanted to go wheelin this afternoon, but we caught a buzz instead. time to go home and face the music

Random enough for you with the ramblings? :flipoff1:

okay, on the bio we did the 3/27 test and it came out. glycerides (mono/di/tri) aren't soluable in methanol. biodiesel is methanol soluable. you take 3mL's of bio before the wash and 27mL's of meth and shake them up. if any oil drops out you didn't have a complete reaction. No oil dropped out so it was a complete pass. success on the first 100gal batch. the smaller ones are easier, but this is the first big one with the new system. I'm stoked.
