Oh, I'll be on the South Island, but I always wanted to ride that ferry between Islands (3 hours I beleive).

Hey, do the Maori celibrate captain Cooke's discovery?

Hi Everyone from New Zealand down in the South Pacific. Aint it a small world, I just got back from NZ, on the 18th! Spent most of my time in Ashburton and alittle in Christchurch and Auckland. Maybe going back in a a few months. Not looking forward to the airflight, again though. Where are you loc...

OK will try to explain with minimal chemical stuff. But, what stuff I use should be found in any chemical text and maybe wikipeadia. VO and WVO are triglyerides. Using Sodium methoxide on VO/WVO converts it to 3 smaller methyl Esters and a glycerol molecule. This process is called transesterificatio...

Straight Veg oil or even WVO will not effect the fuel lines like Bio-diesel. They are two entirely different materials. I would agree with canman regarding bio-diesel, though. If your going to run any bio-diesel, save yourself the trouble and replace the fuel lines. Give some thoughts to replaceing ...

I think there's going to be a place for all the alternative energy sources. Its like when the automobile came on the seen there were thousands of manufactures but there is an eventual shake out and buy out. Think you may well be right. May well lead to vehicals that can use many different fuels. Th...

Became and issue when doing research for Muon-catalyzed Fusion.
Confining deuterium and tritium gas at high pressure caused containment failure.

Krank is correct! But the conversion efficency is even poorer than 50%! Based upon chemical considerations alone if hydrogen is considered the only usable product the conversion is only 11% efficent! If however, you also feed the oxygen into the engine your conversion is much better. But what are th...

Is the Sub base still there?

Keeping on topic, prices sliped from $4.29 to $4.20 two days ago!

He isn't at all saying that Americans are greedy. He's referring to people in upper management positions for major oil corporations. They are the ones driving the oil prices up. How do you get that out of his post? "Cost of Diesel fuel ? ----this is NO April foolery. Olde hagar got the answers...

Oh if you have a problem with me whining then maybe we should not talk about fuel prices what did you expect people to talk about how its great that they are projecting a increase to 1.50 a litre by this summer? No, don't have a problem about you whining! I get used to it! Just don't need you and H...

I just went through the same senario with my '81! I suspect your injectors. You don't say how many miles on this unit, but seems general concensous is the injectors are good for 60-100K miles. Swapped mine for set of rebuilt and been cruising at high mach ever since. OK, maybe not anywhere near high...

In the US the tax is 12 cents tax on a 73 cent cost margins. Depends on state too! States vary a lot in their tax on gasoline. Georgia is the lowest (I could be wrong there, as this was some time ago) and goes up dramatically from there. Believe California is amongst the highest! As far as cost to ...

I'm no diesel expert but my money would be going for a new pump!
Wonder if they need/want your old one as a core anyway!
I just don't think you can clean that up without losing your clearances.
Those "shards" look too big to be from a seal, but as I said I'm no diesel expert!

A1-2-A3, Now that your finished whining, I hope! Tell us what amount of tax is on that gallon of Canadian gas! Economics doesn't work that way even in Canada, your oil companies wouldn't sell it to the U.S. if they weren't making a better profit! Yes, we as a nation use far more fuel than our share,...

Thanks Fatmobile! So I need to get another filter out banjo fitting so I can connect the 1/4" or 5/16" tubing directly to the metal fuel line from the tank? So the in and out banjo fittings are different? Did I commit some sort of forum faux pas as I see there where 51 view to this thread ...
