Hi BellaBok
Sounds like a cool plan. You don't have to get the
seed from India, you can get it from Zimbabwe at the government nursery in

government nursery and speak to David in the seed dept.

The theory on them is alluring. Modifying the compression/expansion
cycle to - for example - expand the combustion gases quickly and
thereby reduce pollution seems like a great potential. Another would be
to halt the piston at/just beyond top dead center and let combustion
finish. Those both have

Not quite a direct answer to your questions, but one thing I've found
very helpful when taking apart engines that I lack manuals for (or
even ones that I have generic manuals for), is to take LOTS of digital

I was wondering if there has been any

I would do a quality test on the BD (see JtF Quality Tests).
I did. The 'shake method' passed OK.

room)
The other trick is to put the small parts in paper bags, that are marked with
location. (This works well for things like injector pumps, or gearboxes that
have shims, etc.)

Yes it can be used but, Coolant serves 2 purposes in machining. The first is

No, I understand I need to drain off the fuel first to the wash tank and
then recover the methanol from the glycerol by product only.
