Re: [Biofuel] Biodiesel in a Toyostove?
I have tried my biodiesel in a multifuel camping stove made for backpacking use. It is the type that has a fuel bottle separate from the burner and a pump on the bottle for pressurization. It is made by sigg and called the firejet. It is a little difficult to light on kerosene and very difficult on biodiesel. I think the reason is that biodiesel has a high boiling point compared to kerosene although I haven't confirmed this. Once I preheated the vaporizer tube to hight temperature the stove ran beautifully with a nice clean blue flame and no smoke on the biodiesel. I took a picture but I can't post it here :-( . Try it and see. Let us know.

Re: [Biofuel] Biodiesel in a Toyostove?
anyone ever try BD in a kerosene Toyostove? 50/50? No, but I might need that to boil or distill my drinking water someday while encamped along the waterways. I've wondered about using white (unleaded) gasoline blends in a Coleman pressure lamp or stove for far to long. ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/

I broke a couple of kero heaters that way, but they were fussy things with fuzzy logic and so on, though they worked fine on kero. Reclaimed junk, usual high-class Tokyo gomi, so I didn't mind.

Re: [Biofuel] Biodiesel in a Toyostove?
Hi, it's a big square heater - about 10-15 years old. Runs fine on kero. I was thinking of mixing it and seeing what happens. It doesn't have any logic chips or any electronics. I won't get to it for a while but will post results! -Mike I have tried my biodiesel in a multifuel camping stove made for backpacking use.
