Organically grown crops tend to have their nitrogen in complete proteins.
Plants grown with large amounts of nitrogen fertilizer tend to have a
certain content of free amino acids (the building blocks of proteins)
in the plant sap which the plant-eating (juice sucking) insects find very
convenient.

No. They're not abnormally large, at least, I don't think so.

Hi hakan
You are absolutely right I didn't mention the MTBE and probably should have.
I agree that the MTBE needed to go but this hasn't been earth braking news
for some time. It just took the state a long time to step up and replace it.
The discussions I have seen or herd on what ever media.

three months if the dispute over Irans nuclear programme causes the country to

Virgin oil was the first test
Wvo next. 1 litre bottles.
I.m in the process of stepping up now.
This was the first two batched over 1 litre.
Just used 6.5 grams, no titration.
Washed as usual and it did come out nice.
Gotta do a ph test then filter and run with it
Thanks Dave

Although I agree with Mike K., I try not to be so serious in order to save my state of mind - even as I look for material for my new, bright blue vest that says "Organize!" on the back. Maybe, with my new attire, I'll have the nerve to shop at Walmart again someday.

Yes - but make sure it's fresh, see the information at the Journey to

In the 70s, we fermented mash and distilledf ethanol in 55
gallon drums, and went to Energy Fairs sponsored by the Carter
administration to teach farmers how to make their own and do
the same. They worked well.

Hi Tom,
I hope and believe that your point is not ( totally ) correct,
because most fuel tanks from cars are made from plastics these days.
So running on bio diesel would mean that
your car starts dripping within a few months. :-((
( but you are correct those esters can soften SOME plastics )
How can you be on this list and still be shopping at WALMART!!!
Heaven help us.

Short term there may not be a problem. Long term (3-12 months) BioD because it is an ester will soften (dissolve) most plastics and make them unusable.
