Volume taken:250 ml
--
Density:0.864 g/ml
Volume distilled out:234 ml
density:0.864 g/ml
The remaining 16 ml had low density and was not that viscous. It seemed like biodiesel with slight impurities. As only 15-16 ml of this was left the rate at which biodiesel was distilling out was very low(2-3 drops per minute).
Most of the biodiesel distilled out between 175-185 C.
Temperature of over 200 C were reached. It will be safe to say that biodiesel does not degrade in these conditions.

The sample of Biodiesel distilled out is kept in S2 bay in a measuring cylinder. Its colourless but is biodiesel.
