Biodiesel Testing Help!!!!!!!!!!?
So I am planning to make biodiesel from various vegetable oils and I want to test the efficiency of each type. To test the various types of biodiesels, I will use a diesel generator that will output electricity. Would measuring the current of the electricity generated be an accurate way of determining how good each biodiesel is compared to another?
And would I be able to rent an electric generator that uses diesel fuel from Home Depot or Lowes?

I’d suspect a rental place. Here is another thing, rent a diesel air compressor. Just put a regulator on it and let the air vent at a rate where the engine is always loaded. But, if you ruin the engine, you bought it it might cost $10,000 to replace.
But first, why test them, there are hundreds of tests already done and there is nothing different between any base oil used to make biodiesel.
1st question:
No. You would need to put an electrical load on the generator and see how much fuel of each kind was used per unit of time. For example, plug in a 100 watt light bulb into the generator, put a pint of fuel in the generator and see how long till it ran out. The longer the time, the more energy in the fuel.
2nd Q:
I’ve never seen a portable diesel generator. Doesn’t mean they don’t exist though. Also, if you do find one to rent, make sure they know you’re gonna use biodiesel it it, or you might end up buying it.
The load is determine by how much U have on the generator. Most of the energy comes from the burning Corbin , which makes CO2.
