Homemade Biodiesel and Safety

Author : Ash Ried
When making your homemade biodiesel there are several ways you can
ensure your physical safety and the safety of pets and children.First of all you should not attempt to make homemade biodiesel
unless you are wearing proper protective gloves, an apron, and eye
protection. Keep in mind that biodiesel making involves the use of
several potentially very hazardous chemicals. Methanol can be
absorbed rapidly through the skin and can cause blindness and
death. Sodium hydroxide can cause severe burns and death. If these
two chemicals are mixed during biodiesel production they can form
sodium methoxide. This is an extremely caustic chemical that can
cause a fatality if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin.After reading the above, you can see why it is so important that
high quality protective gloves should be worn during the biodiesel
making process. Make sure they are chemical and fire proof. Avoid
using latex gloves that can dissolve if they come into contact with
certain chemicals. It is also advisable to ear a shirt or lab coat
with cuffs for further protection while creating homemade biodiesel.Cover as much of your skin as possible when making biodiesel.Don't wear shorts or sandals and expose as little of your skin as
possible in case any of the chemicals splash on your skin. Always
have running water handy when working with methanol and sodium
hydroxide to rinse out of eyes or exposed areas.Before making biodiesel at home make sure your workspace is
generously and thoroughly ventilated to allow fumes to escape. Keep
in mind that vapor cartridge respirators are not effective against
methanol fumes. No children, pets or individuals with asthma or
breathing problems should be allowed near filtering drums or be
allowed to be present during the making of homemade biodiesel. Only
a supplied-air system will do (SCBA -- Self-Contained Breathing
Apparatus) can protect you from methanol vapors. Note too that
methanol does not emit fumes unless it is hot. When it is at room
temperature it does not emit many fumes and is safer to work with.
That is why it is best to make homemade biodiesel on a cooler day.Remember to keep all chemical containers at arm's length when
opening the lid. Chemicals can expand, explode and splash. While
making the homemade biodiesel sometimes it is the safest to
transfer substances such as lye via plastic baggies which can be
sealed. This tact can be especially helpful for measuring out lye.Even the most conscientious of amateur biodiesel producers is
vulnerable to sudden splashes or spillages. That is why it is so
important for you to have an emergency plan for getting medical
help in case your homemade biodiesel production goes awry.Ash Ried is the author of numerous guides and articles on Biodiesel.

10 Things Every Car Buyer Must Know

Author : Paul W Wilson
Buying a car needs not just investment but deep thought. The market is overflowing with choices and temptations. Buyers need to think, what kind of car and can I afford it?Think, what do I need transportation for right now and what will I need two years from now? Do I want a car as a status symbol or as something that makes my life easier? Will the car be a commuter vehicle, or to transport children? Would a van with cargo space and high clearance be more suitable for a growing family? Should the car be a two-wheel or four-wheel drive? What kind of terrain will I be driving in most of the time? Go through auto magazines as well as consumer reports to get a clear picture of the world of cars.1. Work on your finances and determine what you need to spend each month on transportation. A car should not cost more than 10% of your net pay per month. If it is more, then consider leasing a car instead of buying one.2. Before you finalize anything, find out what the target price is. Four figure discounts are available with almost every make.3. Never sign an arbitration clause or blank financial forms. Try and get finance from a separate source, a bank or financial institution.4. Haggling will get you a good deal apart from shopping around for finance. The market is competitive be sure to check dealer fiancé, high street, internet lenders, as well as other options.5. Try and ensure a large down payment thereby reducing the loan to be paid. Work out your finances and choice of car such that the term of loan is for the shortest period.6. Find out what buying incentives are on offer. These vary from audio systems to cash back offers, and 0% financing. Ask what extras and add ons will cost in addition to the price of the car.7. Be sure to evaluate your old car independently if you are considering a trade in. Pay attention to 'cost to change', the difference between what the new car costs and what the old one is worth.8. Find out about warranties, taxes, and insurance. These can eat into your budget.9. Vet the contract well. Read the fine print. Make sure that paying off the loan before time will not carry any penalty.10. Check out at least 3-4 dealers to gauge what the best offer is.Test drive the vehicle before you finalize the deal and go through the car booklet page by page to understand all that the manufacturer needs to tell you. Be clear what is under warranty and what is not.Never choose vehicle based on a picture or dream. It is not how you look in the car that's important but how well the car will fulfill your needs. Be practical and sensible; do not buy a model because the dealership is offering a holiday for two or a low interest scheme. Identify a vehicle that suits your needs before subjecting yourself to an onslaught of marketing.Paul Wilson is a freelance writer for http://www.1866Cars.com, the premier website to find help on Cars including topics on car rental, national car rental, thrifty car rental, online car rental, pickup trucks rental, cargo van rental and more.
