[Biofuel] Biofuel, rust and gunk

2005-03-10 Thread Trey McCay

This oft stated fact begs a question:

Any aspiring mechanics using B100 as a parts cleaner?  How fast does B100
work its magic?

I ask because I run a small auto shop as my night job and think this a
better, healthier alternative to the petrol stuff.  And if it will remove
the gunk from bad gasoline--all the better.

It does work magic - it's better than kerosene for that, IMO. Better 
than gasolene? Dunno, I haven't used gasolene for that in ages. How 
fast? Dunno that either, but it hasn't made me impatient. It's SO-O 
nice to use! Depending what you're trying to clean, biodiesel and the 
glycerine by-product are a good pair - the glyc is a champion 
degreaser (though somewhat caustic, rough on your hands, so take 
care).

Not from bad gasolene, it's the deposit laid down over time by 
petro-diesel fuel.


Still, try it and see. I'm sure you'll like it.

Best wishes
