Hi Ed,
I think Keith has put the paper which describes this work on
journeytoforever (reference not to hand)
Engines were started and run on petrodiesel for ten minutes to bring up the
temperature of the SVO. Then the fuel supply was switched over for the
continuous 3000 hour run. SVO
Thanks Samai . . . . I think! :-/
I haven't read the paper to which you refer. Perhaps I should read a copy
before I venture an opinion.

Hi Group Members,
A ferry fleet operator has used coconut oil instead of
diesel for the past three years on Samui Island. This
is another example of successful SVO story.
I read a paper on the emissions bebefits of biodiesel
published by EPA, they showed a result that if we use

regarding coconut oil as an energy feedstock. Specifically, what is
the ratio of nuts (per ton) to barrel yield of fuel? What is the btu

Michael et al,
Thank you for all the good information you have

yahoo system works (replies to all; replies to group

I grew up in Samoa and periodically return to the
various islands I know down that way. It bugs me

Sadly I don't think I think I can be a lot of *specific* help. You see,

oil is chemically very similar except that there are more
