Re: [MBZ] OT: A new law of thermodynamics

Not enough of them out here. There is a smallish farm in the Palouse, and the bigger farm by Vantage, but that is it. Best to hook up a giant sprinkler to Grand Coulee and shoot it a few kilometers into the air. That should wash out much of the smoke, in a small area. Better solution would b

Re: [MBZ] Low E Finnish diesel substitute made from animal fats

OR The petrol derivative is carbon that was sequestered for millions of years after having been sucked up by critters and plants. It has been condensed out of the feedstock, which got siphoned off into other bits of the world. The animal fats are current carbon, not historic carbon, so have

Re: [MBZ] Selling wheels on BAT

I vote no. BAT is looking for the “rare” goodies that nobody can find or are very specific. Bundts are a dime a dozen, unless you find the 15” rims. Might be able to get a few hundred for those. The fourtheens are not worth much. I was able to drag a viable set of 5 rims home for under $25.

Re: [MBZ] Low E Finnish diesel substitute made from animal fats

There was a thermal depolymerization plant set up for ConAgra that used Turkey offal to make diesel. I am not sure why it failed, but the plant closed down. Maybe they were unable to process the feed stock fast enough to overcome the stench of death. Probably the Finns are less prone to havin

[MBZ] W126 adventures

I replaced the valve cover in the SD last weekend and then spent the week losing about two gallons of oil because the cover gasket was not seating properly. It is now secure and having been shy a quart of oil at one point, I had to toss in a quart of ATF so I could get home. This seems to have
