Hi All,
What is the word on using straight bd in a Beckett
oil burner? This is a new unit only having burned a few gallons of petro diesel
to test it so it is basically a "virgin'. BTW this is a backup unit on my Tarm
wood fired boiler.
Also has anyone had any issues with the solvent
Dear Mr. Provost:
Many thanks.
Mr. F.J. Burgos

David,
Thanks for the correction of air intake. Agreed, it would be good to look at
the beast. Can the anecdotes can be believed ? And, is the concept for real?

As to your second question, fuel flows one way, so it will not pick up
gunk from the inside of the motor. I have found if you are running BD
in an old diesel with a few hundred thousand miles on it you will need
to change your fuel filter as the BD will loosen up the junk in your
tank and

Hello to all,
It never occured to
me totest the temp gauge before I installed them in mybiodiesel
processor.
I've been using a temp
gauge that I bought at an auto supply store.After making several batches
of quality BDI decided to test it to see how accurate it was.I was
surprised to find
I believe 140 is the max...I bought an electronic one with a probe at
Target for 20.00 it works fine.

I use a single 220 element in my processor but run it on 110 volt
supply. It is slow to heat. I usually turn it on and heat till it
reaches about 150, and then turn the heat but off but continue mixing
for an hour as it.

The concept of supplemental hydrogen injection IS a valid one.

No. The big 10 liter CATs, Cummins, Detroits and Volvos in modern

When do you add the methoxide?

while we are on this thread, might we wander back a few months to a
related issue? That is the claim that addition of small amounts of
acetone to both compression and spark ignition engines would result in
dramatic increases in fuel efficiency, as much as 35 % increases claimed
by some.
Howdy Tom, it doesn't seem to matter. I have preheated the oil before
addition of the methoxide, and added the methoxide to the oil before
heating the mixture- it works either way.
My usual routine is to turn on the heat and while the oil is heating,
mix and add my methoxide, bring the mixture
Hi,
Yes I was wondering about the acetone experiments also.
As far as I know a few people on 2 or 3 other lists were going to document
their experiments.
Anybody hear of any updates?

Hello People,
I got different kinds of providers of oil (virgin Oil, waste oil, and
animal tallow) I was wondering whether I could make one big mix and
process it together. Of course, doing the right titration process and
filtering the waste oil and animal tallow.
could it be done?
Thanks

Let's try putting a couple of things together here

According to the CHEC website
The water may be more plentiful, but, it still takes up volume and mass.
1 gal of water weighs about 8.35 lbs. and takes up 231 cubic inches
So 90 gal weighs over 750 lbs and takes up over 12 cubic ft.
That's a lot, of extra weight and volume being taken up.
I can't help but wonder if the

I had the injectors tested / cleaned then, and they were found to be

The company (CHEC) claims they use about 4 litres (just over a U.S.
gallon) of water in 12,000 km (7,500 miles). In a tractor trailer, that
seems trivial to me.

I'm about 400 km away. I know there are list members closer than that.
Anyone up for a visit to check them out.
