Biodiesel

are we in the newbie forum or the house of politics?

"big oil" is the lamest catchphrase of our generation

it smacks of the cheap yellow journalism of the 1890's

so who do you prefer ... "BIG GREEN?"

so lame

you can bring all your "big oil" superiority and swing by my apt. to collect your environmental stewardship award when you prove to me that you're no longer urinating and defecating into our water supply

laaaaaaaaaaaame ...

 

there is also E100 and modern cars can be converted to to support this fuel
then i dont need a old MB but i can drive my modern car and not use "big oil".

so i dont think you got a point in pointing that out.

 

you can also homegrow E100

 

You can drink it too!
.

 

I should do that. We burn alcohol in our marine stove, and the fuel is pretty expensive now that alcohol is added to gasoline. I need to find a cheap source where I can buy it five gallons at a time.

the car and its owner... drinking buddy's

 

Hi WaterOx, I fear that you're going to confuse some people with your terminology. Are you burning biodiesel, veggie oil, or a mix of the two? Biodiesel and veggie oil are very different products.

 

If you didn't burn chip oil it could be cleaned and reused to cook more chips. Where does that oil come from in the first place? Farms. Have you seen the harm farming does to the environment? Trees stripped off, chemicals added to the soil then tractors running on diesel from the ground via big oil companies drive all over that stripped land scratching and compacting it. And it happens all the more because you are burning a recyclable commodity.

While YOU might feel good never stopping at a gas station I feel good knowing that my car is a step toward a full electric car. The more people driving gas electric cars the cheaper the technology we need to develop full electric cars will become.
Don't just drive a clean car, drive change for the better.

 

I'm confused. 2 of the meanings are:
Female urination device
FUD, a Mexican brand of cold cuts and hot dogs


Ok, maybe you meant the first one:
Fear, uncertainty and doubt, a marketing or political strategy

 

Recycled how? Processed into biodiesel, or more along the lines of washing, filtering, and dumping it in your tank without making biodiesel out of it? $2/gal sounds quite cheap to have biodiesel delivered to your house.

 

I'm not sure but doesn't this Merc's engine still need some sort of oil for lubrication?

 

I like that. I've never heard of it before. One of the joys of living in Canada....
Also, what do YOU do with it when the time comes for a oil change?

 

If Biodiesel is the way to go, why haven't I been able to purchase it at any diesel stations in the Northeast. I drive my 2000 Powerstroke F250 and can only get dino juice diesel for it.

I did try making my own, but too much work and time to justify homebrew. Plus if I screw up - costly injector pump, injector damage. Not to mention the toxic and safety issues dealing with methanol and potassium or sodium hydroxide.

I don't need the hassles dealing with Biodiesel, not to mention the gelling issues during the winter months.

I bought a 2008 Prius as my daily driver - best investment I had made. 51 - 53 mpg.

What do you do with the old oil when you are doing a oil change?

What kind of vehicle brings your delivery of go go juice? What does this vehicle run on?
