@b28g2000cwb.googlegroups.com: From what I've been told the fuel can actually go bad over time. Now it's nothing to worry about in a car, since it doesn't sit very long before it's used. And it's probably not a problem in a commercial boat that's constantly being used. But I'd be worried about a few hundred gallons sitting for extended times, like over the winter, in a normal boat. As the system isn't totally dependent on vegoil for fuel, it would be quite easy to, at the end of the season, simply run out of vegoil, switch to diesel and come back to the dock. No vegoil needed to be stored, eliminating the problem. A month before the next season started, you'd start collecting, settling and filtering this year's fuel stock so you could trawl around all summer for free..... Thinking next year they'll be getting $5-8 at the dock pumps, makes it all worth doing, doesn't it? I want one. Even if I never save a dime, I'll still have the feeling I've beat "the system" of oil ripoff and tax ripoffs. I'd much rather pay these guys at Frybrid (corrected spelling, sorry) than those other *******s. I got the same feeling when they disconnected the phone lines from my house for the last time....(c; I can imagine how good it feels to go off the power grid on some homebrew wind turbine scheme like www.otherpower.com did, too. -- There's amazing intelligence in the Universe. You can tell because none of them ever called Earth. |
