    During the processing of bio-diesel, there are several processes which must be completed. Heating of the oil is the first stage, and this needs to be done outside of the presence of the catalyst (methanol vapours are flammable). The mixing should therefore take place in a separate tank (you should also use an external heater if possible, rather than an immersion heater.)

    The reaction and separation stages can all take place in one tank quite safely (the mix simply circulates around the unit).
