To my information, there is no problem with sulphur. Sulph is just very dangerous when it falls down like acid rain. Soot cloggs the small gaps in the converter. Air injecting would probaly oxidate the carbon deposit if the temp is high enough. I've heard of a diesel cat converter which every 600

I have an 81 wabbit that I have been running on BD for about a year. at about 6 months, I installed a catalytic converter, which almost completely eliminated the smell of the exhaust, assumedly making it pollute less. I was assuming that BD has less particulates, and would be less likely to clog

There is another strong reason to consider: a scientist, who's funds are running out and is not as popular in the science com- munity decides to take sides. He makes enemies, gains some funds (it doesn't really matter where they come from, if his dept is just so little far away from being closed)

Did they burn the rapeseed oil under the same pressure of most diesel engines? Pressure and high heat are a different animal then high heat alone. Also mentioned is "superior grade of diesel fuel"? Most people are buying #2,a heavier and dirtier fuel.If they would tell us more, to compare apple

Keith, By coincidence this item came from Mike Olson today. Although the specific questions under the topic heading may not be biofuels, it is the same issue of engineering public opinion which you brought up. Cornelius A. Van Milligen Byproduct processing [EMAIL PROTECTED] --
