Nobody here years ago realized that telling me I couldn't run a diesel engine on WMO trips a trigger on me. I hate being told I can't do something, especialy when it doesn't take new technology. I have always been a firm beleiver that older technology is better in many cases. I think proving it can be done is probably one of my greatest achievements. I never thought there would be a special thread for wmo.
Thanks everybody

When I first came here everybody told me that I would ruin my engine running it on WMO and there was absolutely nothing on Youtube on it.. My how times have changed.

My health has declined and  don't get around much any more but I thought I would check into the site and contribute an update.

My engine is still running well. I was showing it to somebody the other day and I said it probably would not start because I had not started it in a couple of years. Assume makes an ass out of me LOL, it started up the first time the piston went past TDC. The fuel system has had WMO in it continuously for something like 8 or 9 years so it looks like my method of checking and treating the PH has worked fine. It also shows that WMO does not go bad like diesel and biodiesel do. Great for long term storage. I got an email from an old friend the other day. he had to pay huge amounts of money to dispose of a thousand gallons of bad diesel fuel that went bad. Now he has decided to take my advice and switch to WMO. Not only is it free, it is good forever.

A fellow called me and somebody in the scientific comunity had told him about this. He said it burned with a nice blue smokeless flame.

Take some WVO and run it through a filter go get rid of the big stuff.

Add 20% water and put into a glass container. Shake well. Let stand for two days.

What is on the top layer is fuel.

I am guessing that it should still be tested for acidity. If this is good fuel, it sure is a lot simpeler than biodiesel and doesn't thicken with cold temperatures.

You have just been sent a personal message by Stan on Lister Engine Forum.

IMPORTANT: Remember, this is just a notification. Please do not reply
to this email.

The message they sent you was:

Bob, maybe you haven't read some of the nasty, vicious threads that
have cropped up here on the forum in the past, but you should know
that they all started with one posting just like the one you just
made.

I don't want to see any more nasty threads resulting in valued members
dropping out.  Perhaps you should re read you last posting and retract
it.
Stan

So what you are saying is that you are too cowardly to say to me in front of all the members of the group is that it is ok to defame and undermine the US Government and it is not permitted to stand up for the US government which by the way, is the reason many members of this group do not speak German or Arabic and have the right to elections and a say in their government..

The USA does not just protect itself, it also stands up for every country and person in the world that is and wants to be free. Where would we all be if the USA had not stepped in against Hitler?

Unlike those of you who who were born in this country and too lazy to leave because you didn't like it here, I chose this country. I know what living under a Dictatership and Communism is realy like. My uncle was shot in the back helping my parents come to freedom. I will never abandon this country or democracy and stand aside and let it be defamed by lies.

I do not start Political threads because they are off topic But I will stand up for my country and what it stands for. Do not think for one minute I would not sacrifice this group for my country.

Now lets see if you are man enough to tell everybody in this group that Loving America is forbidden in this group instead of sending a private message that nobody knows about.

If you do that I would be more than happy to leave this group. I would not want my name associated with the filth that would see the USA or what it stands for be defamed by lies and deciet. If members are leaving because they want America to fail then I say good riddence to them. This is nto a political group anyhow. I their intrests are there and to defaming America, let them go where they are wanted.

My intake rod on my Ashwamegh rotates much slower than the exhaust rod.
I keep it lubed both at the bottom and in the cup at the top and the valve clearance has been checked.
I asume that as long as it still rotates, I have nothing to worry about, am I correct on that?

Any Idea why?

Speaking of valve clearances, Mine came with .008 written in the valve cover. I understand this is not the normal setting. Has anybody else gotten an engine with .008 valve clearances for both valves? What is the normal setting?

Just a thought on cooling.

Quite a bit of water is lost from the cooling drum each day. With $150 in antifreeze evaporating away along with it, I was thinking, what if I was to put enough diesel fuel on top of the water to to make a coating, wouldn't that slow down the evaporation?

Years ago before ecology came into being, we used to put oil on standing water to keep mosquitoes out and it seemed to take forever for it to dry up.

I don't know why these didn't come through. Did it the same as before but the pictures didn't come out, The links work thoug so you can click on them. When the first one comes up just click the NEXT arrow at the top.
