SPRINGFLOW 250
STOP WORRYING ABOUT BIODIESEL GELLING!
Introducing the SpringFlow 250
If you've ever fought with a clogged fuel filter in your car after running biodiesel in the winter months, you know you don't want to deal with that again. The SpringFlow 250 is an all-weather, all-year heat exchanger that uses your car's coolant system to heat your fuel rapidly and effectively, allowing you to avoid many of the headaches that accompany cold weather driving with biodiesel. This robust but manageable device installs easily in any car. It rapidly warms your biodiesel/diesel fuel an average of 50 degrees on its way to your fuel filter, thereby overcoming flow restriction at the fuel filter and resultant power loss, stalling, and hesitation that may result in damage to injection components.
Many Uses for the SpringFlow 250
While the SpringFlow 250 was designed first and foremost for automotive and furnace fuel preheating, it has many additional uses (See SpringFlow 250 Installation and Use Tips, below). The 250 sq cm of tube surface area allow you to move a lot of heat in this compact package – check out the fuel warming performance in SpringFlow Technical Specifications. Biodiesel makers and users will especially appreciate the SpringFlow 250’s all stainless steel construction. Other economically priced heat exchangers incorporate red metals, such as copper, brass, or bronze, which are not compatible with biodiesel. The SpringFlow 250 was designed with biodiesel compatibility in mind (For more information, see the document below entitled Biodiesel Compatibility with Copper and Brass).

Other Accessories
Here are links to a few items that will be helpful for you to make biodiesel with a BioPro:
Something to allow you to unload a drum of methanol:
A pump for the methanol:
- I like this rotary barrel pump which is simple and chemical resistant, and the perfect height if your drum is on a dolly, for the nozzle to fit in the BioPro ports. Here's a cheaper one- also good.
- Here's another one a lot of people like
Drum dolly- check out this one!
Pump for getting oil from drum:
A plastic barrel for your wash water (must hold 45 gal). Check craigslist or in King County, the IMEX exchange under plastics.
An aquarium heater (200 - 300 W) to keep wash water warm-see aquarium supply stores or ebay
For sources of chemicals, see the Chemicals page or Homebrewing Supplies page.
To test your oil to see whether it has acceptable Free Fatty Acid level, get the Go/No Go kit
