PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for producing an esterified fuel capable of stirring and heating a mixture for producing the esterilifed fuel utilizing an electromotive force latently present in the mixture itself while saving the consumption of a commercial electric power. SOLUTION: This apparatus is obtained by installing rotating blades 16 for stirring a mixture 19 comprising an edible oil, methanol, potassium hydroxide and a very small amount of water in a reactional vessel 13, connecting a motor 17 for driving the rotating blades 16 to the rotating blades 16 and providing a platinum electrode 14 and a magnesium electrode 15 in the reactional vessel 13 and is capable of driving the motor 17 based on an electromotive force produced by the platinum electrode 14, the magnesium electrode 15 and the mixture 19. |
