A set of 80" load bars will allow you to mount a canoe outboard and still use the RTT...best of both worlds. Great looking rig; simple, low key and functional! Beautiful country too! -H-

One of my good friends has a Mercedes 300 TDI, and he's made quite a few batches in a larger 55 gallon processor in his garage...so we might put another one together using really nice, upgraded and efficient equipment. I'll likely make a couple more batches of 1L just to practice a bit and get...

Since I'm busy trying things out, now the "washing" part of the project comes in. Essentially, it's a water wash that will remove the excess NaOH/Methanol as well as glycerine (the main ingredient in soap). The biodiesel is put in another 2L bottle, leaving the glycerine layer behind. 500ml...

I have a client who's offered all the used oil I can take.... I just have limited space in my garage, and since it's a condo, I can't really have a processor on the front deck...:chef: I'll wash this batch and put it in the tank! With virgin oil it's not gonna be a price win, but just getting...

I'll tell the wife I made some soap just for her! With the byproduct being just for me! :coffeedrink: I was kinda thinking that with the new oil, it may not be brown.... -H-

Ok, GC & Rhino, I may need ya'lls' opinion (Yes, I just used the plural possessive tense of ya'll, in true Texan fashion....). After letting the mix settle all night (at about 70 degrees F), I have this: There's a clear glycerine layer; however, I've been told it should be dark...

I'm totally trading Expedition West's Adventure Trailer for these donkeys behind his back...his HOA would love 'em! :elkgrin: -H-

Well...since my wife is out tonight for a dance rehearsal.... I'm brewin' biodiesel in the kitchen! (Let's not mention this if you do happen to know my wife...some things a spouse doesn't need to know.... :ylsmoke:) What ya' need for a liter test batch: Believe it or not, I didn't get...

What do you mean "Not the type of trip" to be posted here? All is welcome...and pics are expected! :coffeedrink: Have fun! -H-

Go for the Kodiac that Jeff's selling, you will get a much better tent than nylon, and for a great price! -H-

I did a little research last night, and apparently the cloud point of B99 is about 55 degrees F (12.7 degrees C), while regular #2 diesel is about -10 F (-23 degrees C). So, even in Flagstaff during the summer, I'd likely run a blend of about 50/50 summer, with maybe 10-20% in the winter. The...

R, that's what I've heard...but maybe I'm being cautious. I'll give the "bio in the freezer" test a go! Fergie, Always ready for the next Mexico adventure! -H-

There are several folks homebrewing BD here in Flag. I'm a-retentive enough to really like the idea of having an actual petroleum processor make it, as my idea of sourcing a 3B injection pump doesn't sound like fun. Funny thing, I was packing the truck outside of Alfonsina's in Gonzaga Bay...

I have a couple of friends who've done it, and my general opinion is that you've really got to do it right, especially when I have limited garage space. I really like the FuelPod 2, which allows for 50L of biodiesel to be made at a time, while being a fully self contained, small package...

Ooo that smell...can't you smell that smell... That smell, mi amigos y amigas, is B99 biodiesel! Gotta love virtually zero emissions and french fries! Delivered some parts to Pskhaat's uber troopy, then wandered by Western States Petroleum in Phoenix yesterday with an empty fuel tank and...

Yeah...those darn lawyers don't do anyone any good....:rolleyes: -H-

I'm so jealous! I was in the office dealing with police and orders of protection. Nice ride...I'll be there in spirit! :drool:

Great looking bike...makes me want to go to Mexico! ...but then again, the caveat is that many things make me want to go to Mexico! :elkgrin: -H-

Well, finally got all (most?) of the air leaks fixed. Now it'll only cycle once every ten minutes or so...which is acceptable to me. I'm using a ball valve, along with RTV on most of the fittings. -H-

I was just kidding...I think you've gotta go with forward facing. Maybe mod a mount with a RV captain's chair so it can unlock and turn...but IMO, it's gotta be forward facing and locked in place. Let me look...I may have another late model 40 seat in storage....If I can fit it in the 70, and...
