[biofuel] RE: biofuels and gardners

2001-04-24 Thread Mike Brownstone

David,

Perhaps you can help me.  I not that you have referred to the ' old
Gardiners and earlier diesels'.  I have two L8 Gardners in a motor launch
(ML1200 old 1943 military vessel).  I have been unable to locate Gardners UK
for spares.  Do you have any info on this.

By the way, I've started making biodiesal for her use.  Thanks to you people
out there.

Second question:  Is there any difference in energy content between, for
instance, one liter of sunflower biodiesal and one liter of palm oil
biodiesal?  In other words, is there a better performance in km/liter for
the better oil?

Ed, Steven et al,
T.P. bypass filters are ideal for cleaning diesel
and other similar fuels as they remove the asphaltine particles which are
the major cause of combustion soot and other contamination. I sell bypass
filters especially for this purpose. They are identical to the by-pass oil
filters except the orifice restriction of 50 thou which is required to drop
the velocity so the oil is filtered properly and only a small percentage is
bled off at any given time has been opened out or removed  so the diesel has
unrestricted flow and is matched to the injector or engine requirement. They
also have a tap on the bottom so that the water which separates out and sits
on the bottom of the cannister can be regularly bled off. After looking at
or replacing everyone I have installed I now know all diesel is dirty even
if it looks perfectly clean to the natural eye. When you see what these
things remove you can understand why quite a lot of the modern diesels which
are built to much finer tolerances dont last anything like the old Gardiners
and earlier diesels.
B.r.,  David

Hi Mike,
  Sorry I cant help as I am not an engineer, just someone who
has a bit of knowledge and repect for that which has gone before. Suggest
you try some of the marine notice boards and ask there. Perhaps someone can
help you.  Where are you located? Try http://aqua.net.au/  See there was a
company called E.E.Potts who were offering spare parts for Gardner. Also
someone offering 2 x 8LW motors on Nov 3 2000. Also other Gardner adds.
Also try London Transport as a lot of the double deckers had Gardner engines
and someone there should be able to help or point you in the right
direction. Best of luck with your efforts. will see what else I can dig up.
B.r.,  David
