Desiel fuel pricing??????????

Maybe you were being told about Methyl Hydrate. You can buy it by the jug at truck shops but I'm not sure of it's application in this case.

The stuff you get at truck stops is used in the air system alcohol evaporator on heavy trucks. It prevents the air brake system from freezing. I'm pretty sure it is 99% methanol.

In Central Florida is anywhere between 2.29 and 2.36 a gallon.  Might be time to switch to a bio fuel, considering that in January there will be a substantial federal tax break to those who sell or blend the bio stuff.  My $.02

wow....
diesel here is like 64.9 cents a liter compaired to 76.9 for regular
but its goin up slowly...it used to be about 20 cents less then gas. the sad part is thats still too expensive for the amount of driving i do and thefact i dont have a job right now. i want to try making biodiesel, just like a litre to see how the process works but im too scared to be using methanol after hearing it can kill you by just touching your skin.

It's the wrong time of the year for you to be thinking about biodesiel.  

Good luck with the job hunt, Steve

Haven't been on here much lately as my new project is a '92 Dodge Cummins 350 dually. I've owned imports all my life and this thing is quite a change, it's freaking HUGE  :!:  :!:  :!:
Great engine though, although the jury is still out on the truck  :wink:
 Didn't pay much for it, but it needs a bit of work.  It came with almost no fuel in it, and the "Low Fuel" light was on. I added 5 gals. from a jerry can and the light went out, but the gauge didn't move, so I thought that would be one more thing to fix. When I took it to the city for the first time I decided to fill it up with "cheap" diesel at $2.34/gal. It took $60.00 to fill it  :roll:  And now the gauge shows full, I guess 5 gallons wasn't enough to get the float off the peg :oops:

I only just caught this tread.
Consider yourself lucky as here(Winnipeg, Mb.) you can`t legally purchase more than 20 litres of meth and store it within city limits.
Some beauracratic microbe found out that the stuff COULD catch fire and pushed a law through the city council to ban large amounts not used for commercial purposes within the city.
Ah the beuracratic mentality,....
