check your pollution levels besides sulphur. dinodiesel is not rated for use
in mines, biodiesel is.

Maybe. The EPA study (below) shows that bio-gas aka ethanol uses MORE
energy during production than just normal gas.
Doesn't bio-diesel have the same flaw?

Steve - We all want a Firewire or USB connection that uploads it all into a
pair of electrodes and directly into our brains...can you and Keith have
that facility added to your websites and send the hardware over on Fedex, I
need it for Tuesday.
Hope it's not too much trouble.
Thanks!
;-)
Ed
it's not so much due to the production costs, as to the reduced energy value
of those fuels. But ethanol does allow some nice tricks like high
compression engines, which we have not seen in 30 years.

I am sure somebody will notice Troy included pure electric in his list and
will wonder why I included it for fueling on SRO or biodiesel...here's an
answer...you have to charge it somehow, so use a genset on SRO or
biodiesel. If you have the location to allow it, you could have an EV for

Yes they are available, but cost would come down with more of them being
built and used, more retrofit market would develop, and biodiesel can play a
role in that, as well as the new lower sulphur diesel that is being mandated

What are they selling the methanol for? I mean what do the other customers
do with it?

Okay the FAQ appears a dead issue, I understand the enormity of

must collate the FACTS and make them available or there will not

Wal-Mart only has it in 4L jugs, but it is cheaper like that for me than
going to a chemical supplier and buying a 20L pail. I will buy drums as soon
as I find a place to store the drum. :)
I just made my first batch of Bio-diesel (only 500Ml). I hope it works out.

Of course, if you live in someplace like Edmonton, plugs are standard issue
for all apartments and workplaces!
Wal-Mart..might have known. In 45 Gal drums or just smaller?

I think that the body of evidence is there, if absolute proof is not, or it

It is delightful that folks on this list are able to discuss a wide

Clearly there are groups of intelligent people who are concerned

Thank you for the tip with plugging in the vehicle. As soon as I am out of
an apartment and can plug in my vehicle in the winter it will be the first
thing I do. As well my parents always plugged in the vehicle at home, but were
unable to plug them in at work and when shopping etc..
I read in a DieselTherm advertisement that the best temp for diesel
is 160F/70C. They showed pictures of the fuel being sprayed through
the fuel injectors as prove. Also, beyond that temperature efficiency
goes down.

It's ok to heat it. In fact, a Japanese (Hokkaido U. / Komatsu company)
study I saw found that 90C was the optimum temp for petrodiesel combustion
for lowest specific energy consumption and visible smoke emissions. You will
be unlikely to reach fuel temp of more than 60-80C heating it with
