Had another cold start in 7C with no problem.

Drove up to Sydney on my 36% blend and it went like a rocket.

Added another 20L veg + 15L bio when I got up there and drove back on that - went...

So it’s the caustic in bio that does the damage to rubber rather than the veg?

I’ve added my 1st 20L and so far so good after 200km. The pre-filter still nice and clean.

Gotta drive up to...

Excellent, thanks Peter. I will schedule in a hose replacement soon.

Anyone got any hot tips on good hose clamps while we are on the topic?

nevermind...I see Repco has it for $20/metre. Expensive but worth it if you get 3 years out of it....

Where can I purchase this magical hose?

Ok you've sold me on the pre-filter, Tony. Even though my Rodeo has mostly been on B100 for the last nearly 8 years / 90,000 km and has never had a filter blockage other than the 1st time I put bio...

Hi Fattima,

Is your factory sediment a stand-alone unit without the filter? So the fuel comes from your tank to the sediment / water trap, then to the pre-filter then to the main filter, then to...

Hi Tony,

I have a few of these MANN WK 31/5 pre-filters left over from the Merc 300D I had. I can't see a micron rating for them on the MANN website, but my understanding was that it would be much...

Hello Team,

I've been out of action for about 9 months since moving from Sydney to Canberra. Bio plant is in storage. Have, unfortunately, been running dino mostly over this time, grabbing some...

Hello Bigboy, I’m interested and will send a PM.

Interesting to see the virus is dominating discussion here too. Seems there is no escape from it.

How are everyone's oil reserves going now that all the cafes & restaurants are closed?

My old...

My plant is basically two 44 gallon drums with cone bottoms in a frame with a stand-alone methoxide mixer made from a 60L LPG tank. All of it fits in a stainless drip tray with a footprint of about...

Hi Team,

I've just moved from Sydney to Canberra. My plant is in indefinite storage on a friend's bush block until I work out what I'm doing.

I'm in a rental place and I don't like my chances...

VIN: 123 130 22 018322
Car runs and drives and is currently on non-transferrable NSW historic rego. However, just in the last week or so it has developed an earthing issue which is making it hard to...

That is a bit of a sad story. I don't know what the fate of the Pug will be. It got auctioned for essentially the value of its weight in steel. I still feel quite disappointed about that as it was...

Well folks, it's all done and dusted.

The Peugeot 405 SRDT was a rally weapon and we raised $7,361 for the Cancer Council.

I used about 300 litres of bio to cover just under 4,600 km from...

Going pretty well thanks. I'm happy that the car is as mechanically sound as it can be. Had to put a new water pump in it, which wasn't ideal. Just took it on a family road trip from Sydney - Mudgee...

Has anyone ever calculated or measured the actual volume of a 20L cubie when it is completely full with no air?

I've been told that the 20L mark is actually the line at the top, leaving a bit of...

When I was having issues with my Rodeo pump recently, I got a quote for $1,200 for an exchange rebuilt pump, so $1,500 seems in the right ballpark. When quizzed about Viton, he said that is all he...

I know the stuff and have used it myself on various things, but never a fuel tank! I imagine the surface preparation on a biodiesel tank would need to be a lot more rigorous than on a petrol car. Any...

Good tip, thanks Cade - I will get some of that

Hi Team,

As the Shitbox Rally nears, I'm thinking of taking along a little insurance policy of sorts in the form of liquid cooling system sealant.

Many years ago a friend of mine had a Toyota...

Hi Team,

My Rodeo has extended axle breathers - basically a rubber vacuum hose that extends from the axle up high above the high tide mark if you were doing a water crossing.

My front one has...
