Seperating the Oil

            Today in class we seperated the biodiesel from the animal fat, small particles, and the glycrin. We had to pair up with partners to pour all the glycrin into a sludge bucket. People lost much of their fuel because once all the glycrin fell out, we were not fast enough to put the caps back on our bottles, so the fuel started pouring out into the sludge bucket. Then we poured the oil slowly into a beaker to keep the particles from getting into the biodiesel. Some of the beakers had small particles in them, so we had to let the beaker sit over night to let the animal fat settle down at the bottom. Next we combined all the clean, useable fuel into clean bottles, and we filled  two, two liter bottles. Starting tomorrow we are going to make more biodiesel because we lost much of the oil while trying to get the glycrin out.
