Rubbers are definitely affected. Even the (supposedly) chemical
resistant silicone rubber goes hard in biodiesel. However, I believe
that injection pump shaft seals will never be made from rubber - it's
not got the mechanical properties and ages much faster than plastics.

Hi Camillo,
Injection pump seals are easy enough to replace, usually without
rebuilding the unit, but have you had any nasty complaints from users
where bio has damaged pump seals? It's costly to take vehicles off
the road for repairs. Another problem area can be diaphragm type lift
pumps.
Why not dry a sample and try an normal base reaction. It might not be
as bad as it looks. Watch out for detergents, you may have to
neutralise with acid.
High FFA fats can be acid esterified - see Alecs Kak's recipe on
www.journeytoforever.org. However, I would add that you do need to

Marc,
Could you give some clarification as to theoretical yields of ethanol,
methanol and other value added byproducts per metric ton of paper
feedstock in the scenario you mention below, as well as energy inputs?
One could use yield data from virgin pulpwood as baseline and venture
forward.

What is odd is that while we may expect more summer days above X
degrees, we also expect more winter days below -X degrees. Here in
spring the day temperature may reach 35 degrees celcius and still
drop to 5 degrees by the next morning.

Hi all.
The british government has announced a proposal of 50 waste incinerators to
be built over the next few years, britain relies heavily on landfill, not
much recycling and free burning the methane, but they expect much public
opposal.
This is very strange.

Yes, good point Steve, and some of those are even EPA approved for shp
heaters, I understand? That and re-refining are both the thing to do with
it. Also maybe install a bypass filtration system so it does not have to be
changed as often in the first place.

There is a very simple explanation for this. The satellite data are
more comprehensive and more accurate than the surface data. They are
telling us that claims that the earth is overheating are just hot

would derail.
