Haven't been here in  while, glad to see its not changed.
The EPA is out of control on just about everything they do. Do I want dirty air & water ? No, I do want to live with out being harassed by some government stooge with an inflated sense of his/her own worth. When a government agency can come on to your property, zoned for a residence, that you have already started to construct a legally permitted house and find a puddle after a rain storm and claim it as a wetland, demand that you stop construction & return the property to its former condition or be fined $32,000 a day. Then explain to you that you have no recourse unless they start a court case against you. That's out of control. Are they costing the country jobs? I guarantee it, just ask anyone who worked for the coal industry. That's about half of my family. I live outside Washington DC & I remember old days of brown air & the Potomac river smelling so bad you would not want to get near it. Those days are gone, the EPA had a lot to do with that but it was also a change in people's way of thinking about the world. Now they need some thing to keep themselves occupied. Case in point, the current Ozone standards have not been fully implemented but they already want to make them more restrictive. To a point where the air in Yellowstone park will not meet standard.

And now back to Casey! How you been? Got that Witte runnin'?

Don't forget to buy guns & bullets, you will need them to protect your solar panels when the shat hits the fin. (you move the vowels)

I know a fellow over here in Kansas who runs his farm on sunflower oil, he produces and presses it himself. Now here's the real kicker... he does not convert it to biodiesel at all but simply filters and dilutes to a specific gravity compatible with his tractors and burns it glycerol and all. His results are pretty impressive and his methods also have been adopted by some fair sized farmer's co-ops in Colorado.

I believe you are talking about "sodbust" on the LEF nice guy, he doesn't have a lot of time to post 'cause of all his projects.

it hasn't reached anything yet. still no bids with 2 days & 21 hours left.

Bob's a communist  Not possible!! you're not even in the government 



    Scott

nope, he's got a second crankcase vent on his GM90 so that should not be a problem.

Grimmer-schmidt did this with Lombardini & Hatz & Deutz diesels in the past. At least the Lombrdini could be changed back with just a complete cylinder head & injection line for eash cylinder. the funny thing is the cylinders that compress air don't wear out. we took 460 & 302 ford v-8's to machine shops with one bank needing bored .060 over & the other bank was still standard bore. made more that one machinist scratch his head.

Legionare's disease was caused by the failure of the maintenance company in the affected building to properly maintain the air conditioning system. the drain pans in the a/c systems were not cleaned properly allowing condensate water to stand in the pans, with the air that blows into the air conditioned space, blowing across the contaminated water, picking up the microbes & blowing them into the air in the building. Having the drains cleared to allow the condensate water to drain would have eliminated the problem, but now days they also use a small tablet, enclosed in a plastic pack , that slowly dissolves & kills the microbes. Can't remember what the chamical is, likely a form of solid chlorine bleach. In Bob's scenario I don't see this as a problem since thier should be very little, if any condensate to collect. And if thier is, the little tablets are really cheap. The water in the cooling tower will need to be treated to keep corrosion down but with the right test kit & chemicals it's easy to do.

run it up under the valve cover & direct it at the rocker arms to lube them with the mist ?


  SR

That sounds like a good idea

carl

Though maybe a little messy !!

  Scott R

That's either a very big engine or a very little china man  !!

Thanks Farmer,
That's what we like to call "enginewity". take somethin' that's not worth nothin' & find a use for it. then save your self a little change in the process.

And not one pair of saftey glasses in the place!

Hi Farmer,
Welcome aboard !! always nice to have new blood with interesting ideas.
If you could, please expand on your use of filbert shells in your pellet stove ?? I'm paying $245.00 a ton for pellets at this time & looking for an alternative.
Thanks & again, welcome.

W should mean water cooled, not air cooled.
