[biofuel] OT VW motor

Hello, Around a couple of weeks ago someone posted a link for a VW diesel engine rebuilder in the states. Would that person be able to re-post the link? I am thinking of getting a new block for my 1.6L Jetta. Thank you, Aidan [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: [biofuel] Web space

Keith, With your comments in mind I will only obtain enough space for my own personal use. As a side note though I find the list website too difficult to bother going to. I never register with any real info at any site (especially yahoo and MSN, therefore I find it difficult to remem

[biofuel] Web space

Hello, I am enquiring with these two groups to see if anyone would be interested in some free web space to post pictures and links. I have often seen e-mails where people wish to upload pics of their process or their vehicle conversion but it seems that the only place available is Yahoo,

Re: "Bypass Filtration" was Re: [biofuel] Engine oil choices

Todd, Your statement of government using bypass filters has lead Caterpillar to no longer warranty their engines for the military (in a particular vehicle). It has been found that the contaminated oil after bypass has kicked in destroys the fuel system of the cat engine rather quickly.

Re: [biofuel] Coolant Heating

Derek, That is definitely a very valid concern, but according to the VW repair manual even when you shut off the head the coolant still flows through the heater core. Hooking it up in series would have no effect on the flow or heater core (other than a little less heat). Aidan -

[biofuel] Coolant Heating

Hello, I have a quick question for all the experts in the group. I am in the design phase of my SVO conversion for a 90 Jetta diesel. I intend to use a coolant/electric hybrid heating system. The only thing I have not worked out is why all the systems I have seen use a "T" connection to

[biofuel] Engine problems

Hello, Thank you to all that helped me with my engine problem about a week ago. I would like to let you know that my problem was caused by an over filled crankcase (stupid me). Fortunately my car is fine, a few new gaskets and about 4 hours of work and my car is running like new. Thank

[biofuel] Mustard oil and other research papers

Hello, Here is a link to the University of Idaho. They have several papers on alternative fuels. I have a particular interest in report KLK310 it discusses the use of mustard oil for producing Biodiesel. I think it is worth a read. http://www.webs1.uidaho.edu/niatt/publications

Hello, Would anyone know how much oil you get out of a tonne of canola seed? It seems that our market boards in Canada sell seeds by the bushel or tonne. Thank you, Aidan Wilkins [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --

Hello, I have mechanical question which I hope someone in the group can help me with. Yesterday evening I finished rebuilding my 90 jetta diesel. I had the head rebuilt, replaced the connecting rod bearings, rings and ridge reamed the cylinders. Everything went together nicely. I

Martin, I believe we are in agreement on this issue. I know a few people who use Amsoil and they have significant miles on their vehicles 400,000 + km, but I also know people with 400, 000 + km who only used regular oil ( my father and father in law). I strongly believe that the most imp

this because you are selling a normal engine oil additive? How can you deny all of the testing that indicates quite clearly to me that synthetic oil works much better for much longer? Martin Klingensmith nnytech.net infoarchive.net -Original Message- From: A Wilkins

Re: [biofuel] Synthetic Oil

Hello, Just my two cents on the issue of synthetic oil. Just to give you a little background on my knowledge of oil. I started an oil additive/friction reducer business about a year ago and in that time I have spent many many hours searching on the net and talking with mechanics, oil sal

Hello, first of all this is just a brain fart. I was toying with the idea of community supplied power from a diesel generator running on WVO. I have located several large generators. The one I was toying with was a 650Kw that uses 174 L/h at 100% load. @ $.20 a litre for WVO the electri

Hello, I would really appreciate it if someone on this list could help me chose the correct filter size for my VW Jetta '90 non turbo. I know that I use about 7 litres an hour on the highway, but I also know that the pump asks for a lot more fuel than it uses. I am going to purchase a

[biofuel] Injector pump help.

Hello, I have recently had to change the injection pump in my 90 Jetta 1.6L non turbo (non biofuel related). I developed an air leak in the pump which allowed the fuel to back draw into the tank. This made starting the vehicle very difficult. I did the work myself and have timed it to pe
