May 12 and May 13

We walked into class to check out our oil and we all saw something funny on the bottom of it.  There was some sort of sludge.  Wat we did to get it out was we got 2 people.  One held the bottle and squesed the sludge out, and one was looking at the bottle to make sure that only the sludge came out  and no biodiesel leaked and fell.  When the sludge was all gone the person watching had to quick put his/her hand on the bottle to make sure no biodiesel came out.  When it was safe we flipped the bottle over, put the cap on, and started to clean up.
On Friday we looked at our bottles. There wasnt sludge on the bottom of the bottle, but there was something on them.  What we did to clean it was we poured the diesel into the beaker and stopped when the gunk was about to go in.  Then we poured out the gunk in the bottle and cleaned it out.  When the bottle was clean we poured the diesel back into the bottle with a funnel.

  1. You spelled what wrong and you also spelled squeezed wrong too... and the sludge sounds pretty gross, and it sounds like you have to be really quick to put the lid back on!

  2. Wait you said you poured the gunk back into the bottle? What happened again can you explain what you did again? How did the gunk look like?
