Re: [Biofuel] New List
Dear Balaji If we can produce Methonol from saw dust we can use it for petrol engines to be used as petrol substitute ok, what will be the procedure to extract Methonol like can you please direct me or how can we generate electricity is it viable to do in small scale My concern is to find a substitute to petrol here its US$ 0.80 per liter thats lot of money only for petrol cos average persons monthly wage is like Min US$50.00 per month so how can a poor man pump some petrol to his motor bike Thanks Manoj - Original Message - From: Balaji To: Biofuel@sustainablelists.org Sent: 09 June 2005 0:05 AM Subject: Re: [Biofuel] New List Hello Manoj, You can dowhole lot of things with saw dust, such as produce fuel briquettes for primary energy, generate electricity or process heat by gasifying the saw dust briquettes and even produce methanol from it.

Keith FANTASTIC JOB Thank you Roy Thankyou Roy, you're most welcome. I must say I agree, it's a real pleasure to use. I can't claim any credit for it. Of course we arranged it, but it was Jeff Breidenbach at The Mail Archive who did the work, that kind of computer crunching is way beyond me. It wasn't easy, databases like this rely on the message headers and especially the posting address, and there've been four different posting addresses over the years, not easy to integrate it. It seems to be seamless, after some initial problems. Jeff doesn't charge anything for running this great service. You get context-sensitive ads by Google on the find pages, but I don't mind that, they're unobtrusive enough.

Re: [Biofuel] New list member question
Luc, No problem on the ribbing... :) The car may become a daily driver once it gets the once-over...but for now it is an unknown. I did read your suggestions on the tank screen, and had thought about putting an easily replaceable 2nd filter to help keep it clean while the bio does it work on the old system. Thanks for the suggestion on the valves...last time I had to deal with adjusting valves was my 92 Accord. ;-) And if the car gets the rear end eaten...I might turn it into a home bio-generator. Might be overkill, but then again, it will not have to work hard. --Randall - Original Message - From: Legal Eagle [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2004 8:51 PM Subject: Re: [Biofuel] New list member question Randall: Whahahah.

Some have converted them, but mostly the 300D, to WVO/SVO use with a second tank system.Don't know the ins and outs of that one though. Luc Is there anyone on the list that lives in the Charlotte, NC area that can suggest good places for methanol and lye?

[Biofuel] New list member question
Any chances of people posting their experiences/suggestions to new list members that have bought specific diesels? This is not the first diesel that I have owned, but it is the first that I will have run non-dino. :-) I just bought a 1982 Mercedes 240D automatic--slow yes, but should be simple (I hope!). This is not going to be a daily driver--more of a test platform. Any tuning suggestions? Seals that need attention? Filter suggestions? Does anyone know if this model will do ok if I try SVO? Performance modifications? (snicker) Is there anyone on the list that lives in the Charlotte, NC area that can suggest good places for methanol and lye?
