Hagar, the reason that I asked if more pressure would benifit to running super lean is the more air, and currently I run 5 psi of boost at 55 mph with the .70 to 1 4th gear 4 speed. with the variable gate i could open or close the gate to get more or less pressure while cruising to run even leaner. ...

Roughly what is your timing set at? roughly? right now i have mine set at 1.00 mm do you leave the cam straight in phase with the engine or do you play with that a little (not much room there to play with)? also when you said that you are running 5 psi at about 70 mph are you able to vary that? I ca...

Hagar, I have bee following this post since it started and it has been a fun read So after doing all of the tests that you have described and everything checks out then what do you suggest to do from there Hagar since I get 45 to the gallon, I need to adjust my timing and back off my fuel screw. but...

what are the Numbers on the injection pump, I have a brand new one that i would like to get rid of if the numbers match up for you we could work something out.

i think that some guys go with a little bit higher breaking pressure to spay a finer mist of veg oil, but i cannot clarify this

if you find out let me know

if there are any dirt circle race tracks in your area? they will have methanol since thats what the cars generally run on. after talking with my chemistry professor he said that any alcohol would work, even rubbing alcohol, although he said it may take longer. i would like to see if this is true, bu...

baically they are making the biodiesel process shorter, but and they already have the alcohol and catalyst mixed and you add that in desired amounts, and use the filters to filter the glycerin, thats my take on it anyway

i would stick to homebrewing

it costs about double what it would cost you to make one, other than that i have heard good things about the kits ($700-1000) and you can build one for 300 or less
