RE: [biofuel] Hybrid Diesel Motorcycle
I just purchased a gasoline powered 2 cycle engine weedeater. I can remember some discussions concerning the use of Bio diesel instead of Dino oil to provide lubrication for the 2 cycle engine. How much Bio diesel do you add? I know that the ratio for Dino Oil is 32 parts gasoline and 1 part Dino oil (4 oz oil per gallon of gas). Also did someone use Ethanol and Bio diesel to run a 2 cylce engine on a bike?

If you try it, please let us know how you fare. I believe the ethanol was used as a blend rather than a straight fuel - 10% ethanol with a 20:1 overall biod mix for the lube? Something like that. Regards Keith Martin R. used biodiesel as two-stroke oil in his chain saw, at a mix of 20 to 1 with gasoline. "It works fine," he says. "After using the saw for 2.5 hours in one go on dead Australian hardwood with no hiccups I was very impressed to say the least." > > In all my 2 Stroke engines , I use 20:1 Mix , better to blow some smoke > > then one at all . no smoke make's your saw run leaner and hotter and > > run the risk sizing your saw greater more oil will make your 2 stroke > engine > > last longer for spark plugs are cheaper then an engine rebuild and the > > saw I use is a Dolmar chain saw > > so I will use BD from now on at 20:1 Mix Well, you'd think that at 20:1, just about anything would work, considering that most 2-strokes nowadays use 50:1 and even 100:1 mixes. I'd be hesitant, however, to use it in my expensive Stihl chainsaw, but if someone had an older 2-stroke lawnmower that they didn't care about, it would be interesting to try a 100:1 mix of straight BD and gas and just let it run continuously for 5 gallons worth or so. Old two-stroke engines like yours usually have bronze wrist pin bearings and thus require a richer oil mixture to adequately lube that bushing. Incidentally in a two stroke you will often find the wrist pin bearing fails first from poor lubrication (It is just much harder to get the oil into it!) I would recommend at least to stick with the 20-1 or even 15-1 seeing as biodiesel is a "thinner" oil than normal two-stroke oil. I have no idea what effect bio-diesel would have on the octane of gasoline but it probably isn't so important on old engines because they usually have a very low c/r anyway My favourite 2-stroke oil is Yamalube R racing oil at 40-1 mix and it, from the bottle is almost as thin as biodiesel! It could be biodiesel is the lube we've been looking for all these years. Yahoo!

Re: [biofuel] Hybrid Diesel Motorcycle
I did finally get to see a British Enfield diesel motorbike. Also the Polaris diesel 4x4 and a Kawasaki diesel mule. Steve Spence Subscribe to the Renewable Energy Newsletter & Discussion Boards.
