Biofuels at Journey to
Ed, a brilliant post.
Also, might be of interest to a few folk out therejust recently in
Australia we had a major diesel fuel shortage during harvest. Farmers
were being rationed to a few hundred litres each, and in some places the
shortage was so bad, farmers actually had to stop reaping

Darren, what a find...a really exciting report.
This oil is nothing more than cold pressed and well filtered oil (5um).

As far as solid resultsno. Yes as per ACREVO report, 9% ethanol

have tried it and it worked well, but they did caution that some fuel

I thought it was time for me to chip in on this one, as this a real
focus of interest, and is one of the few ways you can legally use a
renewable fuel in Australia without excise obligations.

Great post. The A55 emulsifier is very interesting. I was at a Small
town Seminar last year, and I spoke to a couple of staff from the
Buloke Shire who actually trialled the A55 in a Shire truck, in
Australia. They had it carting sandstone out of a pit, and apparently

Hi Jim
I made a mixing vessel from a 30 litre water pressure tank cut in half,
welded onto the ends of a 1.2 meter high cylinder (capacity of 160
litres) I used a 1/2 hp transfer pump with brass impeller, and I'm glad
I tried it with vegetable oil first. It would only run for a few minutes
that in our factory oven. We have lots of free sawdust
available
to us.
Thanks very much for your suggestion and best regards,
Luis

Hi Keith
I installed a kit using one of Eds heaters. The old ute purred away
happily enough on SVO, but I lost a bit of steam going up hills. I read
the ACREVO report and I thought that sounded pretty impressive. I
initially tried methanol, but it wouldn't stay in emulsion...so I got
hold of,
Back again. I am intrigued by recent mentions of Green diesel, blends
of 75% vegeoil and 25% diesel. Vegeburner (great website by the way)
also has quite a commentary on micro emulsions. Emulsions are very
simple to make, and are less involved than producing biodiesel, and can
be used straight
In a posting a couple of days ago, there was the mention of producing
biomass pellets. I think there is a lot of merit in the idea. We cold
press oil on the farm for my own use (biodiesel/SVO) and the fines that
settle out of the oil, we mix with saw dust (from the wood heap) or wood
shavings,

go to 100% BD for your 20-30,000 litre annual requirement? Is there

enough farmland in Australia to supply its fossil fuel needs (barring
power
stations).

Can such a difference be due to the variety of oil that is selected? The reason
