[Biofuel] (off topic) looking for Jan Warnqvist
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 After my appeal for ethanol as fuel information a couple of weeks back, I was contacted by Jan Warnqvist who asked me to reply for more information. I did reply, and never heard from you again. Perhaps my off-list reply didn't make it for some reason. But here is the body of my response to you; - -- Jan Warnqvist wrote: Hello Chip. Hy Jan; I read your input on the JTF mailing list. I have experience in ethanol as a fuel for both 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines. Converting a 4-stroke engine to ethanol is not a big thing, however making a 2-stroke engine to run safe and properly on ethanol is a different matter not in the least due to its way of lubrication. yes, it is interesting. Were I trying to get a generic old 2 stoke to work, it would be one thing, as the older 2stoke engines used fuel/oil as a coolant as well as a lubricant/fuel. However, these newer husqvarna saw engines do a very wonderful job of completing the combustion in the combustion chamber, with very little un-spent fuel exhausting. Husqvarna has done an admirable job engineering these engines. However, here in the US, the alkyate fuels like Aspen are not available, or if they are, it's a real mystery as to where. Futher, even Aspen is non-renewable. Seems we in the US not only use the most petrol, we also use the lower quality petrols. Nothing to be proud of. The small things, like adapting the fuel system, guestimating the carb modifications and such are things I could probably do. However, trying to determine a good fuel/lubricant ratio for ethanol and perhaps using a bio-oil like biodiesel as a lubrication additive is quite simply beyond my quite limited skills. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much for the reply. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDXla10STXFHxUucwRAuu3AJsHOJRQ9isR+O3dgJ2d3d9fsvzsjgCfY/wd SMHmT9QGXU43efKQq64yXEo= =lOsk -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
