Will the bender in a automotive exhaust shop do it?
It sounds like as with many things gear making is quite an art. It seems like the gears have "seated in" and are running silent now. Perhaps I will remove the cover and inspect them next week.
Thanks for the informative post Mike.
I'm certain that you can ask for a refund of whatever financial assistance you have supplied here on your way out...
Acetone added at 1 OZ (volume measure) per 5 gallons. Wallyworld had a nice little graduated beaker for less than $2.00 .
As to carbon - while I suppose it would have to (mostly anyway) blow out as carbon solids, the formation of new carbon deposits, if La Pointe's hypothesis is correct, would be minimized by the oxidation of carbon to CO2.
I noticed an immediate reduction in soot around the machine, which had been raining down in the area. This may be a false impression, very subjective. But it suggests that the CO2 path is the dominant one.
I've read thru the posts here, but I'm not sure I've seen a specific answer to this question.
Rather than have a separate heated WVO tank, is it possible to just filter it and blend it with low sulfur on-road diesel to run in a VW diesel? What ratio is possible with no issues as far as thickening in the lines? I can get 5 to 10 gallons of WVO per month, and would rather just add a bit at a time
to the regular fuel tank......if possible.
thanks

i have email authentication in place, emails addys and ips blocked, i come in here once or twice a day to delete the spam and accts.. but if thats not enough go start another site and run it better
It all has to be properly disposed of and usualy sits in a waste fuel tank some place. We used to filter and blend some of it our own use, but stale gas is still bad gas. Av Kerosene ended up filtered and in the trucks.
Trouble with waste fuels they tend to be shipped in drums that weren't clean, poured into holdings tanks that aren't clean and even if you filter it what you get is mystery fuel containing oil, solvents in some cases and possibly still some water.

Danial, welcome.
I too, would like more information on your svo/gas mix, and your centrifuge project. Thanx for the link to your website, I found it very interesting!
Cheers, Fred
would like my engine to operate at 3 different speeds. Is a belt tensioner the best way to go? Most here run one speed and
use some sort of base to adjust the genhead. Choices are to have an adjustable base, idler/tensioner or a dual idler/tensioner,
a squeese on the top and bottom of the belt. the engine is mitsubishi L2E - 900-3600 RPM
Thanks, David
Thanks Vic,
Will some research on RUG and see what comes up.
In the meantime, any information is, as always, greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Fred
Just picked up a 1986 BMW 524TD and want to experiment with blended WVO and diesel (probably with a little acetone in it just for fun) With daily highs around 86 and lows around 76 I think I'll be able to get by with a single tank just by heating the fuel injector lines; hopefully 75/25 mix.
I'd like to maybe do something similar with the listeroid. Any thoughts would be appreciated. (car, roid or both).
Cheers Fred
