The oil we pump in the vehicles is so clear you can read through it. A gallon clear water bottle of it sits on my porch so I can watch for it to get cloudy in winter, which, in South Carolina, it has only done twice last year. A second clear bottle of the 80% oil/20% gasoline I WAS using last winter in the unmodified cars is also up there and it never clouds, at all. I don't understand. Does cloudy == freezing? |

This whole thread is pretty goofy considering all the two stroke
British Seagulls out there using 10:1 oil mix. Course the newer ones use 25:1 ! |

@TAKEOUTgti.net: I don't understand. Does cloudy == freezing? As temperature drops, unwinterized diesel fuel, as well as frying oil, solidifies at some temperature. If it gets really cold, it looks like Crisco. Crisco has a much higher melting point than Canola oil, which is what most of the frying oil is. So, systems like Frybrid, HEAT the oil, using the hot water from the heater hose off the engine to heat the pickup area of the tank, the oil lines to the engine, the fuel filter, and a big heat exchanger that raises the oil to 160F which makes it have the same viscosity as diesel fuel for proper injection before feeding it through some switching valves to the injection pump. Viscosity of it varies greatly with temperature. Hotter is thinner, obviously. At the smoking point on a stove, it's like water. We can run on Crisco if you get it hot enough. Diesel engines were originally designed for vegetable oil, but when it was discovered they'd run on dino fuel oil and kerosene which was dirt cheap at the time, they started running them all on dino fuel oil. It'll run on anything that will burn if you can figure out how to inject it at TDC just right, even liquified wood. The "Cloud point" of unwinterized diesel fuel, which is quite simply diesel and gasoline mixed, is around 30F. Vegetable oil clouds around 45F, so if you're going to run it in winter, raw, you need to heat it. That's what the Frybrid and other oil heater systems do...so we can inject it. If diesel manufacturers would change their injection system back to vegetable oils, all these "conversions" would be unnecessary. Mercedes diesels specify you may burn heavier #3 diesel oil if you mix it with kerosene, right in their manual. Us frying oil injectors have just taken that a few steps further...(c; Larry -- Riding down the interstate at 70 for nearly free feels just wonderful! |

: This whole thread is pretty goofy considering all the two stroke British Seagulls out there using 10:1 oil mix. Course the newer ones use 25:1 ! This is also an interesting point...... According to the greenies, because we were ALL burning gas mixed 10:1 or 15:1 with Quaker State SAE 30 motor oil from the Flying A for the first 100 years or so of outboard motor technology, by the millions......All the lakes in the USA should be between 6 inches and 3 feet deep in greasy motor oil the old motors used to be covered with, preventing them from ever corroding, by the way. The lakes, as you may have noticed, where greasy outboard motors leave a trail of pollution on their surfaces...but who are not being used as a sewer by cities and industries...are just fine and full of fish. Why is that? Could 2-stroke Quaker State EVAPORATE...like it does in the crankcase?? What a silly idea! That's not going to create panic and a government grant that goes on forever! Case in point is the lake I grew up on, Owasco Lake in the Finger Lakes of upstate NY. Everyone had septic tanks or cesspools, even in Moravia, my hometown. There was no "sewer system" until the Feds moved in and forced everyone to feed a new system that dumped its **** into the "Inlet", the inlet to Owasco Lake. We all drank the lake water while fishing for the first 18 years of my life. The lake was overrun on any Saturday with nasty old Evinrudes, Kieffauver Mercurys, Johnsons, Scott A****ers (Grandpa had a Scott 40 on the big boat), etc. We ran 10:1 tractor gas with Quaker State SAE 30 in it. When I was little, I used to get to pour the oil into the gas can....by the quart! I still love that smell...(c; The lake was full of fish, bullheads, pickerel, walleyed pike, trout, bass, etc. Bullheads used to run towards the Coleman gas lanterns my grandfather and his friends would line the shore with after dark and we would snatchhook them as fast as you could cast. Everyone had 3 or 4 freezers to stuff them all in. Then the greenies showed up. We had to stop polluting the valley with our septic tanks, cesspools, ****ing in the lawns, and all the old 1800's "camps", little houses along the lake used by the city folks only in summer, had to tear down their outhouses behind the garages across the dirt road from their camps. (If you were out fishing and "had to go", you simply stopped at any lakeside camp, knocked on a door, and asked to use their outhouse. It was fine. The BEST nightcrawlers for more fishing were in the leaves right behind the outhouses, too...real MONSTERS!) Towns were all forced into the sewage business. It dumped into the inlet, polluting the lake. Google "Owasco Lake", with the quote marks for better sorting. Read the terrible reports of algae blooms, dead fish, etc., that is Owasco Lake, Sewer, in 2007. They should have left my lake and its people alone. They were fine..... Larry -- So was their old, blue Evinrude Sportwins going fishing at 5AM..... |

I am all for businesses making an honest buck and I am all for http://www.billharder.com/boating/39...are-outrageous Here's a suggestion. Next time there is a national election, work to defeat GOP oil whore candidates like Bush and Cheney, who hold secret meetings with the petrol industry to establish a "national energy policy" aimed at enriching big oil at the expense of everyone else. Work to elect populist candidates who will work to moderate rapacious corporations and who will not be afraid to impose excess profits taxes on those screwing the public. Who is being offered by the two parties? They are both playing the globalist, partnership of business and government, tear up the Constitution game. Nay a word from either side of the aisle about reigning in the oil cabal that has a stranglehold on our economy. Inflation is correctly defined as devaluation in our present time. George Bush's mandate is globalism. He said he is a globalist. Oeioke seem to take some good interpretations of that word as to what this partnership of government and big (global) business is doing to our economy and the destruction of our Constitution and Republic. |
