Personally, I think keeping the list fairly open and having this happen once in a while is a reasonable tradeoff. If you run an open list things always get through, if its bulk spam we just ignore it but if it looks like someone trying to get a result by upsetting people we take the piss

[Biofuel] Quick Britelyt Petromax report

2005-12-19 Thread Mike Weaver
Finally warmed up enough to try the PetroMax stove again. It flat out would not light on plain BD, even when I heated the ring with a torch. I mixed in some K1, and then a shot of gasoline. Finally got a weak and spluttery flame - not enough to heat even a marshmallow. I dumped out the mix

Hi Vakin; Thanks for your input. When you say 200 ml RO do you mean you wash a 1 liter test batch with 200 ml of reverse osmosis water? BTW 95 deg. C is pretty warm it may dry the fuel quicker but there are some notes on J2F that indicate biodiesel can oxidize. It may be accelerated at that

If it gets warm it will go rancid. It will make washing very difficult but it will make bio and it can be done. I strongly suggest getting the methanol back out of it before you wash it. ( if it gets rancid) Jim Marty Phee wrote: Since it's been so cold I haven't been worried, but he wanted

Again here main problem is water. Compressors for R134a are lubricated with ester oil and the ester oil loses lubricant feature very shortly in high humidity. As Rumen said, the best way is vacuum pump from any diesel engine. At 04:13 20.12.05, you wrote: a/c compressors or refrigerator
