is really nice to listen talking about "frozen", "snow" and the others cold  things, guys, let's be serious, I am Placed in the Dominican Republic, the center of caribbeam, here the heat is as a hell's spa, 85 degrees farenheit in the middle of winter, we only see the ice into the refrigerator wen is opened to take a beer. instead, we celebrate the chrismas parties drinking at the parks with the friends (to drink at the public places is not a problem here, and you can smoke <cigarrettes> at indoor places too). And what to say about our beaches, you can imagine, a beach party just on winter season, we do that, the warm water invite to enjoy (well acompanied) until the midnight.......

come to the caribbean, this is life.

hi,

ronmar, you are right with the muffler pipe, is really heavy, I will fit a support to grab it with the frame. The engine is really running smooth, the knock may be by the side wall reflection, you know, a resonance efect.

Brialin, the fan is a standard electric car engine fan, was taken from a Dahiatsu 1/2 Ton gas pickup, is 12 volts DC, I used the generator power throw a 300 Watts 120/12 volts AC transformer, after rectified with a full wave diode bridge (the standard square four leg diode bridge). Icontrolled the fan with a timer, 5 minutes after start the engine (to allow warm it up).

PS: what about the two models in the video (the domestics hens)?

hi,

I purchased some spares for my lovson, I had no problems. This people, is my oppinion, have a business based in the reputation, I think that they won't to put it in risk for a few bucks.

good luck.  

hi guys,

the top reservoir water tank is really necessary to keep the thermosyphon cycle, but you can use a modern radiator as the mine is prepared, the radiator cap do not have the pressure seal and the reservoir (see the pictures in my last post) keep filling continuously. when you remove the cap, the water runs out. when the engine is hot the water flows to the reservoir, once the engine cool down, the water returns to the radiator.

hi guys,

here you have more viewable pictures, My exortation is to try it, really work fine.

hi guys,

sorry for my absence, I am at the caribbean, more than 85 degrees ferenheit all year. I do not use a fuel pre-heater, the engine start directly on WMO, some minutes, before reach operational temperture, the smoke is some white, not much, after 2 or 3 minutes the engine burn clean, as clean as using diesel. my issue is with the engine contamination and the poor fuel efficency when I use my blend.

here at my country:

1 gallon of diesel is US$3.85 and the eficiency is 12-12.5 KW-H/GAL. then is 30 cents per KW-H.

1 gallon of blend is US$1.82 and the eficiency is 8.5-9.75 KW-H/GAL. then is 19 cents per KW-H.

TO USE THE BLEND IS CHEAPER, BUT THINK IN YOUR ENGINE USEFUL LIFE, IT IS GOING TO BE LIMITED, THE CONTAMINATION AND CARBON DEPOSIT WILL WEAR THE LINER AN PISTON PREMATURELY.

hi guys,

all your answer are reasonable and logically correct, the oil lever as well said, must be a critical check point in this kind of engine. thanks for take time to reply.
