seems it would be easy to attach a pressure guage to the exhaust and find
out. Note that in a turbocharged engine, the intake prussure goes from
negative yo positive as the turbo spools up under load; i have read about
ethanol injection to cool intake temp and use ethanol / water mixes at all
I have added a cat to my vw diesel. it completely eliminated the smell of
biodiesel when it was fresh. it cost me $120 installed. After a year and
15,ooo miles, it has started smellimg again. I have used mostly biodiesel on
the theory that it smokes less and will therefore not clog up. I have
model airplane engines are retrofittable to run on diesel fuel. the kits are

hey, folks, this seems a little obviuos, but I have a batch of oil that is
cloudy, I'm not sure why, but i have assumed that it has some water
emulsified in it somehow. I have made two batches now, that have had varying
amounts of a thin waxy film on top, and a milky appearance after washing,
I have heard that a neighbor of mine puts used motor oil in his diesel fuel
in his semi trucks. It is illegal ( emissions ) and burns heavy metals,
smokes visibly , and that's at low concentrations ( 10% ) i call yucky on
that.

They sell heating furnaces that burn waste motor oil, which is as thick as
WVO. I believe that most oil burning appliances use a pump, an orifice and a
lighting device. I think it is simply a question of pressure and orifice
size that determines the fuel it is possible to burn with a certain
use, and
he pays to get rid of it.

It is great to try things out and if they seem to be working , then they
probably are, but i am a little dubious about this system for several
reasons; gasoline cars are very sensitive to mixture, and the fuel injection
, or carburetor, mixes the fuel and air in an exact ratio to provide enough
This is a very good point, but surely it iwould not take much plumbing to
direct the mist tube to be above the plate or at least somewhere near
the throat of the throttle. Then the suction would be strong at high power
settings when the mist can have more effect. Anyone tried this?
the cat i am using now has about10,000 miles (16,000 kil.) on it, so I don't
feel too bad. what do you suppose that liquid was? oh, and by the way,
thanks for the info, i am incorporating the 2 stage settling, but am too

yes, that sounds great, i asked specifcally to know if it would be possible
to dry ethanol enough to make biodiesel with, or for that matter, save a

I got this back from the seller:
Dear Anton,
Thank you for writing to Gardener's Supply Company.
Hydrosource will return to crystal form when dried out. You can either
place it in a warm oven or allow it to dry on its own. If you have further
questions please let me know.

can anyone tell me the pot life of mixed lye and methanol? assuming I keep
it dry, how long is the mixture stable? Iwould like to mix it up, and
trigger a valve to dump it into the oil vat when the oil reaches
temperature, thus eliminating a lot of hanging around watching oil heat

as a mechanic, I would have to say that the amperage draw is dictated by the
glow plug itself, not the computer or relay. The relay turns the plugs on
for a certain amount of time depending on the temp sensor. You have a
problem with the relay, which has the timer, or the temp sensor. larger
the engine thermostat shouldn't have any effect on the glow plugs because
they should only come on when the engine is cold. Once one plug starts to
go, all the other ones will go, because they are all about the same age, and
also it is possible, especially with 8 of them, the battery will give
oh, also, starting on less than the full # of plugs can be hard on the
engine, as it fires a few cylinders for a while until the others fire up,
too. In the 5.7l gm diesels it would break the cranks, although that is what
those engines deserved...
