Thanks this was certainly quite interesting. I liked the Nissan

enough juice for a UPS, except in conjunction with batteries or
something else).

Hmm,, I'm not sure how to respond. I assume you're talking about
neutralising, as it's rather rare to make biodiesel that doesn't
contain some alkaline substances. If you're reading pH 7 in
recently-made, unwashed biodiesel you're probably not getting an
accurate reading.
If you neutralise
ur seals and stuff are rubber-free! the biodiesel will corrode
rubber like nobody's business.
Are you sure about that? It might, and also it might not, but it
won't do it like nobody's business - unless you don't wash the
biodiesel, in which case it's not the biodiesel that's rotting the

Hello Mark
I think that part of the acid advice comes from Terry UK's old, old

Yes, then it says Not too much, and then it says wait and add
another gloop if necessary, in other words a little at a time. But

I agree about H2 fuel cell efficiency, but extra

Ken,
I have some minor problems to consolidate the efficiency
assumptions.
My information is that power stations have 30 to 50 and
slightly above and from small to large. I also understand
that this is the same as for fuel cells 30 to 50 and from
small to large.
Chargeable batteries have an
