Re: [MBZ] ArcticQ - US rendezvous point
well, the rendezvous points depend on who we are rendezvous-ing with and that is going to be up in the air till the last week, realistically...some will be die hard definites and others will not, or will have something come up, etc. SO, I'm thinking that we plan a corse from Claremore to Deadhorse and back to the, oh lets call it the BUP (break up point) - where we split up and head our separate ways home...at the BUP, some smaller caravans may still be intact, e.g a car from Kansas City and a car from St. Louis will be together till Kansas City...but those smaller caravans can be constituted on the spot. Let's focus on getting the route down - going through the areas we want to go through - there and back. I advocate two different routes for variety and different sights, etc...but neither should take us too far out of the way. Once we nail the MAIN ITENERAY DOWN (claremore - deadhorse - BUP), then we can decide where along THAT route it would be best to rendezvous with other people coming on board that are not starting at the OkieQ. My two cents.

Re: [MBZ] ArcticQ - US rendezvous point
I thought about who to procure along the route. Maybe we call ahead to the greasy spoons along the way and have them hold onto a quantity of old fry oil for us to remove for them.

I thought of something similar for my planned trip to Florida, but it's too much work and I don't trust the Benz/veggie enough given past experience. BUT as far as this trip is concerned... That would be quite the load with around 400 gallons of oil on back there What's that like another 2800lbs not counting the rather heavy/stout trailer to haul it?... Especially once you started using some and you had a 2000lbs of sloshing oil back there. Also I'm not sure how cold it's going to be at various times you'd be driving... The biodiesel I heard mentioned before would probably be good till around freezing... With the frybrid, the car should run ok if it's set up well for some pretty cold temps, however, if it's bad oil, it's going to be a nightmare to pump at below about 80 degrees. Even if it's good oil, make sure you don't need to pump it (like from the tank to the car) below freezing, or have some good heater to liquify it first. (though the cold would solve the sloshing part mentioned earlier...) Good Luck!

Of course, everything is still up in the air, but my frybrid equipped 300D coworker (Jason) will probably ride shotgun in my car (300SD), which is a standard DinoD set up. Logistics for the oil procurement is more than he wants to mess with. I think he would rather enjoy the ride and fiddle with GPS equipment, radios, etc. Wouldn't be surprised if he wires the SD with a Linux box for goodness knows what (but it will be cool whatever it is).

Re: [MBZ] ArcticQ - US rendezvous point
My only concern with Okie-Q was the back tracking for some. More I think about it, I like OkieQ as a better starting point, if you don't mind the extra miles. I don't either (mind the extra miles). If there are others who will come and don't want to start at the OkieQ, the caravan can always rendezvous with them at a point along the way that is closer to each of them. That can be EASILY planned once we establish 1) a route and 2) who all is coming. QUESTION #1: Looking over my Rand McNally map, I am seeing alot of scenic highways. Do we want to chose scenic highways over the fastest route? QUESTION #2: Do we want, as far as is possible, to make the going to and the return trip as different as possible without unduly elongating the trip? Personally, I think scenic roads are good and two relatively different routes are also good. OR fastest route to (just in case we run into problems that slow us down) and a slower scenic route back that we can always cut short in case we are running severely behind? THoughts? Chris Bob Rentfro [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Christopher worried: At the same time, we want to keep backtracking to a minimum.

Both work fine. Perhaps there are other ideas of where we might rendezvous sooner in the US. Of course, if two cars are coming from, say, Missouri, those two would caravan together to the main rendezvous point, etc. If there are Canadians wanting to come, we need a Canada rendezvous point too.

Re: [MBZ] ArcticQ - US rendezvous point
most people who are far enough away to not want to start at the okieq are too far away anyways and probably wouldnt have come regardless. Christopher McCann wrote: My only concern with Okie-Q was the back tracking for some. More I think about it, I like OkieQ as a better starting point, if you don't mind the extra miles. I don't either (mind the extra miles). If there are others who will come and don't want to start at the OkieQ, the caravan can always rendezvous with them at a point along the way that is closer to each of them. That can be EASILY planned once we establish 1) a route and 2) who all is coming. QUESTION #1: Looking over my Rand McNally map, I am seeing alot of scenic highways. Do we want to chose scenic highways over the fastest route? QUESTION #2: Do we want, as far as is possible, to make the going to and the return trip as different as possible without unduly elongating the trip? Personally, I think scenic roads are good and two relatively different routes are also good. OR fastest route to (just in case we run into problems that slow us down) and a slower scenic route back that we can always cut short in case we are running severely behind? THoughts?

Re: [MBZ] ArcticQ - US rendezvous point
Sumas is not right close or simple to get to from major roads. It is the truck route about 15 miles off I-5 to the east. Country lanes from I-5 until you get meander to the border. It is a tiny town out in the boonies with good connections to Canadian roads. East of the Rockies would be well served to enter that way and head west on the Trans Canada or Canada Hwy 1 IIRC.

I thought of something similar for my planned trip to Florida, but it's too much work and I don't trust th= e Benz/veggie enough given past experience. BUT as far as this trip is concerned... That would be quite the load with around 400 gallons of oil on back there What's that like another 2800lbs not counting the rather heavy/stout traile= r to haul it?... Especially once you started using some and you had a 2000lb= s of sloshing oil back there. Also I'm not sure how cold it's going to be at various times you'd be driving... The biodiesel I heard mentioned before would probably be good till around freezing... With the frybrid, the car should run ok if it's set up well for some pretty cold temps, however, if it's bad oil, it's going to be a nightmare to pump at below about 80 degrees. Even if it's good oil, make sure you don't need to pump it (like from the tank to the car) below freezing, or have some goo= d heater to liquify it first. (though the cold would solve the sloshing part mentioned earlier...) Good Luck!

Re: [MBZ] ArcticQ - US rendezvous point
Especially once you started using some and you had a 2000lbs of sloshing oil back there. It'd probably be jugs, not one big tank. -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] ArcticQ - US rendezvous point
My co-worker is considering taking his frybrid equipped 300D with a trailer of oil. 10,000 miles on WVO would be quite an accomplishment. There is a different approach. Take out the rear seat and tank and lay a 4' x 6' x 18 tall bladder tank in this space. Holds just at 400 gallons. Addition of double coil springs and 7-ply rear tires will be necessary, getting to the spare a PTA. But all doable. I am serious (lol). The last couple k miles from home will also be a bit rough ride. -- Hans Neureiter, Houston, TX '82 300SD, '95 E300D On 12/13/05, Jim Cathey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Especially once you started using some and you had a 2000lbs of sloshing oil back there.

I have a filter on the fly setup that only lacks a 50-100micron screen at the inlet. I use 2 filters-both are Wix. 1 is a standard GM fuel filter/water separator and the other is a standard hydraulic filter to 5micron. I pump gravity settled oil through these filters and into the car. If there was a 50-100micron screen at the beginning of this setup, it would be completely self-contained and portable. -Original Message- From: Levi Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Dec 13, 2005 1:44 PM To: Mercedes mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] ArcticQ - US rendezvous point As long as they have it ready to go without any water in the oil and you have a good on-board filtering setup...

[MBZ] ArcticQ - US rendezvous point
In principle, it would be nice to meet up as soon as possible. At the same time, we want to keep backtracking to a minimum. Bob will be heading straight north...don't know if anyone west of Bob plans on coming. I've got two ideas: 1. Sumas, WA (north of Seattle): Here is the link for the route from Sumas to Deadhorse: http://www.randmcnally.com/rmc/directions/dirGetDirections.jsp?BV_SessionID=1556161185.1134415227BV_EngineID=addghfdejljcefecggfdffhdgif.0cmty=0 2. Sweet Grass, MT: this would have Easterners bypassing the Rockies entirely and hwy 15 is a straight shot for Bob. According to my map, these first roads through Canada are not as scenic as the above route: http://www.randmcnally.com/rmc/directions/dirGetDirections.jsp?BV_SessionID=1556161185.1134415227BV_EngineID=addghfdejljcefecggfdffhdgif.0cmty=0 Both of these towns are right on the border. Both work fine. Perhaps there are other ideas of where we might rendezvous sooner in the US. Of course, if two cars are coming from, say, Missouri, those two would caravan together to the main rendezvous point, etc. If there are Canadians wanting to come, we need a Canada rendezvous point too.
