y'know, all this jabber about multi-fuel engines
has got me remebering something i saw when i was a kid.
those old US army "deuce-and-a-half" trucks
that have been around since the dawn of time can run on just about any
combustible slop you can feed them.

Zeke,
I'm not sure how we got sidetracked. I was only trying to point out that
the Federal government cannot effectively do anything to artificially stop
or slow the increasing price of oil, and that as consumers, we usually have
the ability to take our business elsewhere if we feel we are bei
I found some sites selling the individual Vernier probes and sensors.
They are more than I expected them to be ($79 - pH Meter probe) but you
can get free software. Educational products have always been
unreasonably overpriced as far a I can tell. Competition must be next to
nil in the field.

design and smaller displacement I suppose. The non-workingtemperature guage is concerning, because overheating a diesel with analuminum head and cast iron block usually means putting a new headgasket in it -- as least in the VW die
Hello Mr. Burgos,
I agree with Keith. It's the ethanol. Try a small batch with methanol at 20% of your oil volume and add 6.5 to 7 g per liter of KOH. You should get separation of glycerine with only an hour or so of heating at 50 C. and 12 hours of settling. In most cases I can see the glyce

Hi, Brian-
I am not much of a mechanic. That disclaimer being issued, let me say this-
White exhaust smoke can be and often is a symptom of a blown head
gasket. White smoke can also be symptomatic of oil burning. White
smoke from a blown head gasket is actually steam produced from co
Thanks everyone for the replies.
Yes it is a Ti-83 with a Vernier LabPro attachment.
This is only the second time I have had it out of the box so I still
know little about how to use it.
Today I have two other projects I need to do while daylight is
burning. First I have harvested two dozen beautif

A pH meter using a Ti-83? I never heard of such a thing, not surprising,
I'll need to look into that. I've got a TI-83 Plus collecting dust at
the moment. Time to Google I guess.

Dear Mr. Tom Irwin:
thanks for your prompt replay and valuable
information.
I am having a rough time in trying to transesterify tallow
using ethanol and KOH, could you be kind enough and make me any process
suggestions?.
I have tryed: a tallow with ony 2.5% of FFA;
50ºC; 1% KOH; molar frac
Don't know if the whole list would, but I would. I'm not a Peugeot
fan (I'd only seen them in Africa, so I didn't know they existed in
the US till you found one), but I'm a fan of any old diesels --
because they can be run on biodiesel, of course.

I wasn't around in the 60's, but as long as I remember, we wore
seatbelts. My dad refused to start the car if everyone didn't have
their belt on, and he even added belts to some older vehicals that
didn't have them.
How did this thread turn from price gouging to seat belt use anyway?

Personally I have found cabbage to be especially useful in methane production.
Not very useable but fun none the less.

No experience with the I-mark, but if it has the same 2.2 NA liter
diesel engine as the pickup from the same year, it should be a good
catch. Those engines were known to be pretty bulletproof, and also
good for use with SVO or biodiesel. Slow as dirt, but 35mpg in the 4wd
trucks. The car should be
Hello Mr. Burgos,
Animal fat was a natural first choice as we produce a fair amount of beef here in Uruguay. From my reading on the JTF site, I found that it was a viable candidate and there are several papers available there for using it. It made sense from a chemical standpoint as fat is e
I'd say that is a sweet deal! Do you have a calibration solution to
verify the probe is not screwed? I work in a university and I wouldn't
be surprised at all to grab a fine instrument and find out someone had
demoed the probe and not said a word. It would be a good idea to verify
it first. D
Any fluid which will not release harmful vapors when heated that is

Brian, so I guess you were never the cadillac-man type?
This is your situation. You've got yourself a Caddy of a PH Tester.
Enjoy.
