Bio-Diesel Update
From : craig c
Q: all just wanted to give a quick update on my experiences so far using biowillie bio-diesel. i think its important that we keep sharing our experiences on this subject good and bad since many of us in the u.s. will see this alternative fuel become more common. i filled up with b20 and have driven a few hundred miles now. as others have experienced my engine seems to be a little quieter than it was. i have not noticed any power loss but im not sure that i would notice it since i drive like an old man. - #2 biowillie was 2.599 per gallon. regular #2 diesel was 2.799. north dallas texas. i have noticed a sharper odor from the exhaust. i dont know how else to explain the smell. the source of the oil used to make biodiesel will alter the odor. i have read that biowillie is made from soy bean oil. no complaints thus far. im wondering how that stuff will do up here in ma where it gets damn cold. can you prevent gelling roy craig c. .

on sat 23 sep 2006 101817 -0400 roy roy@home.net wrote some updates... i braced the truck with proper wheel chocks lifted the rear of the truck off the ground and started looking. when i would put it in drive and get to same speeds that caused trouble i could hear the same noise. a fact that i consider good since i can trouble shoot the situation. i then took off one wheel and one drum. the noise continued. i then took another wheel and drum. the noise stopped! the most obvious suspicion now is that the brake on the wheel that i took off last is somehow not properly working. does it make sense i you removed the weight from that side thus most of the load from the bearing. with the wheel spinning the brakes shouldnt come into play. if you removed the drum easily they doubtfully are in contact. try spinning the noisy side by hand. you may hear it or feel a bit of play up and down. roy i tried something else with that right side. i put back the drum and wheel. the noise resumed. then i took off wheel kept the drum. used wheel lug nuts to keep the drum on. the noise continued identically. i took off the drum tried running again. no noise. i put the drum back on again you can see that i like redundancy. the noise resumed. the drum does not weigh much just maybe 20 lbs. the wheel is obviously a lot heavier maybe 50 lbs. i think that it is unlikely that the weight of the drum is the issue -- though i will try with a wheel on without the drum. i .

geronimo wrote is the any library on-line that would have service info for a 1999 dodge ram truck what kind of service info you are looking for http//techauthority.com is the most complete on-line reference library for your truck. the subscription is $20 for 24 hours $200 for 30 days or $1500 per year. they also sell the factory service manuals and owners manuals if you dont want to pay for the on-line subscription. http//www.dodgeram.org and http//dodgeram.info are worth looking at but they dont cover everything. -- ken our local library has alldata on line. they only charge for the printouts. al .

unfortunately miles too many dont hold themselves accountable let alone follow any other moral values. cya -- budd cochran john 316-17 ephesians 28-9 romans 323 623 our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. it is wholly inadequate for the government of any other. john adams budd cochran wrote this is another reason for the mess we have today. no one is held accountable for what they say or do and when the accountability is required the blame is placed on others. accountable to whos standards just because one disagrees with you and openly says so does not make them a worse better right or wrong person. if i say something someone doesnt like then its me who must hold myself accountable. if my views are firm then i stand firm and if the other doesnt like it then so be it. if i decide my actions were improper then it is me that does whats needed to change it. my point is that it is me and nobody else that can hold me accountable for what i say. -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

roy wrote im wondering how that stuff will do up here in ma where it gets damn cold. can you prevent gelling according to the biowillie web site http//www.wnbiodiesel.com/products.html biodiesel has a higher gel point. 100% biodiesel referred to as b100 gets slushy at 32f. a blend of 20% biodiesel 80% regular diesel b20 has a gel point of 7f. like regular diesel the gel point can be lowered further with additives such as kerosene which are blended into winter diesel in cold-weather areas. craig c. -- if pro and con are opposite what is the opposite of progress .
