Hi trevor
to do this i haven't made any precision measurament or so, much
simpler, first i did the hole, aprox 3 mm, then close it using a
epoxy mass i used a fine wire to do a hole about 1 mm. and thats all.
to fire it i use a folded sheet of paper, i don't pre heat the oil,
just to mantain

So what do you plan to do with the Reed Canary Grass?

Malcolm- I am interested to hear about your RR with the tdi. I was told
that wasn't really possible. Most people have told me you need a Defender
or a Disco I. I currently have a 91 RR, but it isn't in the greatest
shape. I would like to see if I could get it to run off of ethanol though.

Rawls,
Not sure where you are, but I know a guy who's installing a 2.8 (?) BMW 6 cyl.
turbodiesel in a Range Rover - the BMW 524 and 528's in the mid-80's that had
the turbodiesel used it with the same ZF automatic that the Rangies have. I've
seen entire 524's on Autotrader for less than $3000,

I firmly believe that all GM's should be regarded as potentially
dangerous in the regard towards cross breeding and also in the fact that
the target of their modification my become immune to their modification.
This requires education and management on the farmers part. I can

Monsanto wanted to incorporate a Terminator Gene into their Roundup
Ready corn seed but was taken to court and ordered not to do so.
Farmers in India was reusing roundup ready seed year after year.

Ken,
Isn't Wake Island a mid pacific US military

mainly so the figures could be skewed as they
sometimes are.
I have heard arguments that the US per capita energy
use is similarly skewed since it does not take into
account the huge petroleum use
Gd Evening,
I dont think its possible to make biodiesel for a better price than DERV Diesel
using new oil!!! Someone please prove me wrong i really want to use biodiesel
but i wanna be able to afford it!!
To make a litre of biodiesel it would cost:
Cheapest New Oil (37p/L - 750ml) 28p
I would say that is a very fair question. If it was possible I would.

Seems like there was a post here just awhile back on a study done which
showed big farms (and they weren't
talking about organic) just weren't able to make it as well as smaller farms,

acre point where things started going down. So sell some land, buy some

Hi George
Before some list-cop starts yelling Off-topic, I believe it's
on-topic enough. Is this a way to dispense with all the huge
petroleum inputs in food and ag commodity production in the US (and
other industrialised countries) that Dana's just been talking about,
and that skew the
Hi Ken
Very interesting! I know Dow and others are deeply into this, and
it's bound to be a growth sector. I think there are a few items in
the archives about it.
Making it from petroleum would seem to be nuts - the oft-stated aim
is to conserve fossil-fuels and to produce plastics that are

Wait, George, don't sell that land, I've got a better idea. Take maybe 250
acres of it and go to a
diversified organic farm, as I said. Take the other 750 and plant it all to

bluestem, side-oats gamma, compass plant and prairie dock, coneflower, and all

If I could get out of the taxes this would generate, I would have done that a

Good idea
Hello Keith
I don't disagree as much as you would think. This is definitly on topic
because agriculture will power the green revolution. Biofuels are our future
and I hope your right about organic farming being their as well.

I have always believed that studies show the politics of the payee. In my
world anyways, small farmers are at a very large disadvange. Many years ago I
was a dairy farmer. I started out with 20 cows. Went good for a few years,
then had to buy 10 more cows, then 10 more and then 10
