From: Gary Kimlin (Harry) UQ Gatton campus. Hi Barry and Lyle, I'm situated near Gatton. Friend Tony and I have been producing bio for my Pajero and Tony's Crane hire truck for some months. We generally make up to 200 litres a week from various feed stocks. We have struck various problems that keep us from selling on the open market (other than we use it all ourselves). Mostly filter problems from dissolving synthetic and natural fuel lines, polimerisation of regular bio with components of diesel as well as polimerisation via epoxy formation from the linseed oil component of some cooking blends. I work (as a chemist)in partnership with an engineer to design and supply plants for use in the pacific. Much easier from a pure oil, that product could be marketed here provided that a suitable "conversion" kit was included. Each of the local feedstock problems has solutions, the challenge is to be able to make a consistantly safe product from a range of cheap feed stocks in the one versatile apparatus. I will assist antone who wants to make bio for their own use and will convert oil for people for about 40c/litre of feed stock (depending on feedstock quality). Marketing the stuff without dealing with the identified problems first could set us back years. We need our own Qld based quality control. If it is handled realistically, as opposed to idealistically, we could have a B10 or a B20 product available or even compulsory in the non-subsidy areas within a few years. Then we could all breath easier. Regards from Harry Ph. 07 54654221 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
