downwardspiral 0 #27 June 10, 2008 QuoteActually, the biodiesel sites claim that it will actually help clean the engine, not gum it up. That solvent action is why they recommend changing fuel lines on older vehicles and changing the oil filter when you start using biodiesel and a few thousand miles later, to catch the 'junk' the biodiesel cleans out. Biodiesel and straight oil are different. I wouldn't recommend running an engine on straight oil. Biodiesel isn't a problem on the other hand.www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

downwardspiral 0 #29 June 10, 2008 hah I figured you misread it. Oh btw you'll be happy to know I slowed down during my road trip this weekend and managed an additional 6 mpg. But damn it is it excruciating and people really hate it when I draft them. Not many nascar fans out here I guess. www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gene03 0 #30 June 11, 2008 Quote Basically I'm looking for ideas, At the present I'm generating monthly, 5 -6 coal size sacks of oak sawdust (from the chainsaw) and about 6 gallons of used olive oil (from the fryers) The oil I take to town to be recycled, an the sawdust I'm using as a mulch, I had an idea to mix the oil with the sawdust, compress it an make sort of bricks for the fire, the problem is oil wont dry, so how do I keep it together. I'm already using some of the larger chips for the smoker So I need some idea's for recycling.

LongWayToFall 0 #32 June 11, 2008 If you are running an old vehicle (95 or so or older) on biodiesel, you must be careful to convert your system over to viton seals, if you don't, it will definitely mess things up in your fuel system. Biodiesel is a great solvent Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
