Good Points. BioWilly is either in recievership...or headed that way. They are not paying their bills and we put them on Cash only!

Local place here still sells it but I don't know where they get it?? I can still tell the difference at start up & idle... with it vs without. (Remember, the Cetane is a lot higher also.) Makes for easier starts and smoother idles.

No mileage loss with just 2%, as far as I can tell.

Got a guy here that makes his own that i am talking to. He has his own Fully auto $5000.00 Processor and is set up to sell with Road tax....get this....for $2.00 a gallon!!!! SO....as soon as Dan gets his truck back....(Because Jettas with a 300# 55 gallon drum in the back just looks stupid)....im getting a drum full. He is constantly testing his fuel and just talking to the guy....he knows what the heck he is doing. SO i figure ill start collecting oil and giving it to this dude...rather than me TRYING to figure out how to make good bio and shelling pumps and injectors.

Not to mention that the local Wal-Mart just started selling E-85 for 2.04 here locally....makes me want a flex fuel gasser now!!! What happened? When i bought my diesel, it was like 0.30 cheaper than low grade gas!!!! NOW its 0.20 more than PREM here!!!! (3.13/gal at "Wally World" last night). Freaking crazy.....BUT my car just came off the "F" mark after 160 miles!

ALSO...i dont think Bio has more Cetane than #2. Hence the milage loss (AND power loss) some get with full on 100% bio.....

 

I was running B20 when I saw the drop

 

Read somewhere that the first 400 gallons of bio is road tax exempt?? You heard of that?

 

Would be nice if its true....but i doubt that the state would default out of taxing a fuel like that.....Im guessing Texas? Texas is not a very friendly Bio state from some of the laws they were tring to pass last year....if they were all true.....rumors tend to fly on the net......

 

Proposed Competition for this months Get Together!!

Everyone present gets assigned a section of my Aluminum UTE Bullbar/Bumper. The shiniest/brightest section... is the winner!!
Sounds like fun..... No?

(You guys aren't buying this, are you?)

RJ

 

Depends, what are you buying the winner?

 

I hear urine has amazing polishing qualities.....just though i would toss that in there....

 

Did not work on your tires....last time you were at Charlie's

RJ

 

Can pull out the makita polisher for the big areas... just bring polish!

 

Actually started on it last Saturday (you and Jason did not even notice)
It's one of those tasks that is easiest if done a piece at a time, IMO. Same way I wax my truck!

But would like to try your Makita...if a small unit. Had a big Dewalt that I picked up at a Saturday Tool Sale in local airport hanger. Just more trouble than it was worth.....prep wise. (Traded it for paint job on my tailgate)

Been looking at the smaller rotary units but never actually seen one, live.

RJ

 

Ya this is a bigger unit (normally I use the edge of the buffing wheel for smaller stuff... sometimes it works great others not at all! )... Use it mainly for waxing the boat, truck (ya that hasn't happened in a while)... Probably too large for what you need... I want one of those small rotarys for my rims, but they are too $$...

 

You need to find one of the BCS boys to work on that polish job. They're the ones that spent many, many hours with a Dremel polishing an intake elbow. Polishing something that is already mostly shiny should be a breeze and would only cost you a few beers.

 

Should we bring our own wood?

Should have a pretty good amount of limbs etc.. cut up from tree trimming and I believe RJ is bringing some pallets. So I think we should be ok on firewood...
