My MB 300SD has about 50,000 miles since its last oil change. I installed a
bypass filtration system and change the filter (a roll of toilet paper) every
2,500 miles and top up to 1/2 the dipstick level. The top up usually takes a
litre of Mobil1 and this maintains the additive level. Ralph

I understand that the increase in NOx when burning biodiesel/SVO
is thought to be largely due to the compressibility of the fuel and an
effective advancement of the timing as the fatty fuels will not compress
as much as diesel fuel.

How much are you paying foe methanol?
'Contract' price is $0.75 / gal.

Keith,
You can dismiss the advantages of our filtration if you like, but ask
someone who used to bag filter WVO who now can pump right into the
tank, with a Vormax installed, , and they'll tell they've saved a
buncha time and hassle.
As far as how many miles we've got on our singletank
A fellow from Elsbett passed through our neck of the woods a month or
so ago. People were impressed. We've done a bunch of two tank
conversions, but people were loving Elsbett's system.
I was not in town, but Rachel wrote an enthusiastic endorsement of
Elsbett which I published in my blog.
Thanks Tod i will try some fuel companys for the methanol the koh was easy bq
sell it as drain unblocker.
25ltr was just the amount i would like to handle first time round dont realy
have the space for a 55gal drum i will probably do a test batch of more like a
liter to start with.
Cheers

Local price right now is $98 for 54 gallons. The local supplier is
at least the third in the line of adding their cut to the price. I
could get a little cheaper in Ohio, but then would have to either
drive there to pick it up or pay freight costs ($122 for 2 barrels).

I wonder how lovering the compression ratio of the engine will affect
the emission of NOx. As far as I know a compression ratio of 15-17 is
the most efficient for a diesel engine. The reason for using the 20-
24 compression used in cars today is to make them easier starters. I
guess a lot of

I purchased a Mercedes Benz 1995 E300 diesel with slightly over
100,000 miles on the odometer. Mercedes dealer impeccably maintained it
prior to my purchase as it was under a Starmark warrantee. I'm not sure
if it used synthetic oil prior to my purchase, but I immediately changed
it to Mobil 1

I have heard that metal gets suspended in the oil. That is why EPA
doesn't want salvaged lubricating oil burned in engines or stoves. An
electrostatic filter might remove it, be worth trying. Used
lubricating oil looks like it has quite a potential for pollution.

I would spin it this way:
I am using methanol to make biodiesel. Once I have made biodiesel,
the methanol will be consumed. I will not be using methanol for on-
road purposes - it no longer exists, no methanol will be going into
my gas tank. I will be using biodiesel.
