For sightly different reasons and in ignorance of it's specs I fitted an ordinary electric petrol pump (the square solonoid type) before the fuel filter in the engine bay, it cured the problems...

Hi Tony,
Unfortunately, when I did my tests they weren't done for publication (then, or later), so sadly my memory will have to suffice, as the results were written on the bench with welder's chalk....

Hi Guys,
I don't want to be pedantic, but as I mentioned in another post,I did viscosity tests with svo/uvo and petrol. From memory I think that I was getting about ten seconds for 50mltrs ulp...

Hi Tony,
Yeh I agree with the proportion thing, but I did do a lot of viscosity testing early on in the piece, and to get anywhere near a sensible reduction in viscosity, I needed about 30% petrol,...

Hi,
The question was for ANY reason for NOT adding 5% petrol.

Yup! waste of money.

I used to blend 35ltrs dino, 35lts svo with 10% petrol. Stopped adding petrol, didn't make a damn's worth of...

Hi Guys,

This is not really a hyjack, though it may appear that way, just an interesting observation.

I had to "deal" with my fueltank sender just recently, it came out of the tank with a light...

The cheapest I can get a WVO designs centrifuge for is almost $2000, direct from them... do you know of anywhere cheaper?[/QUOTE]

Hi "83 Patrol",

I went through this exact senario a while back,...

Hi Jens,
There's a whole lot of truth in the posts on this problem, however, there's one truth that seems to have been avoided, maybe because folks figure you might not want to hear it.
I think...

Hi tbird650,

I'd love to view your updates on your blog BUT, I have absolutely no idea what that means, or how to access it, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, I presume...

Hi Peter,
I realize that it's a long time since you posted this post, but would you be so kind as to elaborate on exactly how you're processing wvo to produce light fuels...... are you pyrolizing...

Just as a point of interest, what's your oil pressure like when it's rumbling as opposed to when it's not. I wonder if the oil pump is the culprit (high revs coming up the hill might push the pump to...

Hi Jens,

Remember I commented about the noises comming out of your engine when you picked up the oil.
That you got "within spec" compression results from a near knackered engine might not be...

Hi cuppatea,
Clearly the oil isn't hot enough!.............deep fried ants?

Rob.

Thanks Tony,
I'm kinda aware of the problems of spilt oil as I had an IBC split whilst full, it deposited 200ltrs of oil in the workshop.........now that was fun!

As to the hot water test, I'll...

Hi Guys,

There are a couple of recent findings with this stuff, I was transfering the last 6 inches of it (in two 44's) into cubies witha view to disposal (big black drum maybe?).

(1) After I...

Hi Benny,
The pump I use is not spectacular, just a 12 volt gear pump, readily available on ebay. I bought mine for about $60 but they seem to have gone up a bit since then......only 12mm lines.
As...

I looked into this some time back and you need a licence to carry more that 200ltrs.
not too many chippies change out that much in a week. I collect about 100ltrs a fortnight, and never have a...

Hi Michael,

Yeh Daisy Hill BRISBANE, the upper case is for Tilly's sake, he seems to think that I live near "The Puppy Farm" in Arizona.

Rob.

Hi Tilly,
My point precisely, "There aint no Daisy Hill in Georgia"!

By the way, "Tillyfromparadise".........Where's the paradise you're from? Is that in Arazona too?

Daisy Hill Puppy Farm
Find our listing in the Anthem Arizona Telephone Directory!

Gee Tilly,I didn't know that Qld was in Arizona, it all makes sense now!

Rob.

I know the owner of the chippie reasonably well, she gets her oil from "Cookers" and I'm fairly sure it's canola, so this might just be chicken fat.
The 6 inches of gloop that I've got in the bottom...

[QUOTE=SUZUDDIS;58573]All right Rob you have some choices to make.

have you tested this gloop ? what about a hot pan test ? does it contain water...
if it passes the hot pan test and you titrate...

Hi Alga,

Yours does not sound like a control system I'd choose to endorse, I did have (still have, a new one) a possum living in the roller door. One day there was a hell of a scuffle going on in...

Hi,
Puppy farm? what puppy farm?
Sorry,if it was a joke I didn't 'get it'. If it wasn't, clearly the answer's no.

Hey, Michael,
A bit naughty, but I like your style. However I'vs got 500ltrs of this stuff, and I kinda think that the average 'chippie' would notice!
