Thankfully for the time being B20 is the most likely blend for
general use. Further down the road, I think all Euro cars will have
no NOx catalysts. The ultra ultra low sulphur fuels now make them
viable. It's sad though that high tech, high cost systems using rare
noble metals have to be

They started making TDIs around 93 or 94 I think initially in Audi

Washing procedure is incorrect
Add a small amount of acid to 50% volume water and bubble wash for at least
2 days, then take pH reading.
At that temperature, cloudiness will probably be tallow ester - do not run
it through a vehicle - it will clog the fuel filter.
Either wash colder to remove as

Hi Keith;
You must experiment with fermenting the boiled liquor extract from sugar
cane -- not the pressed/expressed extract.
The boiled extract contains so much more minerals -- you need add nothing
-- not even yeast -- for a violent fermentation to start and run to
completion.
I mention a
It is not necessary as long as the fuel keeps flowing at an affordable
price. Of course you can buy all your food at the supermarket too. It is
my opinion that energy autonomy should rate high on anyone's priority list
since it is a basic component of everything else.
So here is a cross post
Maybe, but if not soaps, tallow ester, etc and all else seems to be fine,
but still cloudy, it could be simple turbidity. Apparently this can be

Hi Ken,
If you forgot to add the acid into the wash, you will get a lot of
bubbles/suds that overflow from the drum.This caused you to lose the
precious oil.
If the acid is added, besides bringing the oil back to about pH7, this also
reduces the surface tension of the bubbles and it breaks

liquid hydrogen is extremely hard to transport.
