Don't you mean Jim Beam ?

That's a half-interesting thread on p.ie on getting the best mpg out of your car... I'm about to tell him to take the back seats out and try of couple bottles of Dr. Good fuel additive. David is right though - get a fecking smaller car.

There was a cork fella on Joe Duffy today who was mixing veg oil directly with his diesel and it worked ! The viscosity is the only problem so if some fuel is mixed in with it you're ok. Some other fecker was running his campervan totally on veg oil and what he did was run the fuel pipe through the hot water tank in his camper cabin and that made the oil less viscous.

Would you try it yourself ?

Vegatable oil, mmm, Anybodt fancy a chipper?

You can also pipe the veg oil through the cooling system on the engine and that alters the viscosity.
Diesel engines will essentially run on a pound of butter if you can figure out a way of getting the butter into the cylinders.

The cooling system affects the viscosity ? The hot part of the cooling system is it? I thought there might be problems with burning veg oil in the chambers - wouldn't there be more soot produced inside the engine ?

It's literally a droplet of oil that is enough to move the piston isn't it?

I took a photo of you on your 100th post too - congratulations. Smile

If you pipe the oil through the cooling system, which is normally just water mixed with anti-freeze that's pumped around the engine and carries the heat to the radiator, the oil is used to transfer the heat but a side effect from that is that the oil itself is heated up, thus altering the viscosity of the oil.

I thought there would be some kind of residue left behind from the veg oil, particularly in the valves and the exhaust ports, but supposedly it burns very cleanly (provided it is at the right viscosity when entering the cylinder). My dad's friend was one of the first people in the country to change his vans over to run on veg oil and this is the method he used. He had to instal some kind of heater to run during the first few minutes of driving because the engine wouldn't have sufficient heat at that stage to alter the viscosity of the oil.

It is true that only a very small amount is needed to drive down the piston, but you have to remember the speed that the engine is revolving. It may be only a little drop used to fire once, but at even as slow as 900rpm (idle speed on most engines) in a 4 cylinder engine your engine is firing around 450 times every minute.

Thank you for the picture. I have it saved on my hard drive so I will never forget the occasion.

I really do love engines and (as is becoming apparent) I can't help talking about them wherever I go. With this in mind I would like to apologise for discussing engines and fuel issues on pretty much every thread I visit. I know there have been some sterling efforts in keeping this forum tidy and keeping every discussion in its right place and something tells me I'm not helping.

How can you say that ?! This is Machine Nation - the home of engines of all kinds !! This place should be the home of discussions on the machinery of politics and the politics of machinery; if we go putting veg oil in our cars then the flipping government will start sending the army after us shortly. I'd like to be as free as I can as would everyone and technology and engineering helps a person achieve that.

There's great freedom in driving - no wonder you love engines. Engineering and mechanics isn't as sullied a discipline as others which other politically oriented have got their filthy hands on. No, discussing engines is the heart of what I'd like this forum to be anyway.

I found a virgin forum about creating oil from algae too and registered. Check it out

What about a hot apple cider, Audi to warm you up on this miserable evening? Raining here almost all day.

Now I never had a hot cider Kate how does it taste? - I'd still drink it cold even on a day like today which saw 1 hour of sun. O well, we did have three months of fine weather... time to f-off to Spain for the 'summer' ..

No idea how it tastes - probably all cinnamon and, well, apple.

We didn't get an hour's sun until after 9 this evening... I spent the day marking in the kitchen with the garden doors open while the rain fell like an Irish monsoon virtually non stop between 5am and 7pm (though I wasn't working for that long!). It was quite marvellous - the air was as mountain clear. I have a spectacularly ugly but very snuggly grey poncho/throw over the shoulder thing that I wore and got the benefit of blasts of fresh air but still managed to be rather cosy. All to the soundtrack of falling rain. Bliss

I am feeling awful traditional and I haven't been here in a while, so I think I will plump for a nice pint of plain...

Oh, and to celebrate my accession to the role of Taoiseach, there is a pint for everyone else who wants one, I'm paying!

nah don't worry Ard - I'll get a few on my credit card. Arnaudherve is there maybe he'd fancy a Guinness... The French are much more refined and hardly would try black beer without a Chateau attached...

yeah, how dare they? Like, OMG! We really do need to get people posting again, really re-charge momentum and get things happening again.

Chocolate! mmm, too late for a drink.

Now if your MN map works correctly, there are 3 people online, me in London, somebody in the Ukraine and somebody on the west coast of the US.?
Have always had mixed feelings about that map. Smile

I think I'll reprise the juices I whipped up for the Beach Party all those weeks ago. It's finally a proper Summer's day, so it's quite appropriate.
