Hey;
When are we actually going to have a SW ON Diesel GTG? Summer is quickly passing us by
My BioDiesel processor is almost done and I got some work to do on the Rabbit.
Who's up for a GTG soon???

anyone have a place we can all meet up?
i'd host a small one again but my backyard fixup project is mid-swing.
there is a little diner i've passed a bunch of times... i think it was called 'Diesel Diner' or 'Diesel Cafe'. might be a cool place to meet up and get a group shot of the old diesels, but other than that, i've got nothing.

Thanks Rob;
I was just about to come here and put up the link
How are things? I'm brewing up my first big batch of BioDiesel in the new Appleseed Processor this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes
. The test batch with the waste veggie oil turned out awesome!

Hey Rob;
Hope you can make it next weekend; I plan to attend, but can only stay til about lunchtime, since I'm heading off to a VW Campout near Hamilton afterwards.
Anyway, I finished my BioDiesel processor and made 20 litres today! I'm draining it tomorrow so I'll let you know how it went! :eek: (hopefully good
).
At any rate, if it doesn't suck and I get the hang of this unit, I will have a BioDiesel GTG soon.
See ya!
p.s. you can see some pics of the contraption here

Love to have a look at your processor Scully! Thinking hard about doing the bio thing. There's 5 diesels here, two jettas that run about 40,000 km each a year, my truck, tractor and road grader (snow shovel! :lol: ) Let me know how it works out.
Are you washing the fuel, or using a bubbler? What was your base oil?

I hope to make it to the gtg, look fwd to talking to you again
Count me in if/when you have a gtg also!
I was on vacation this past week getting g/f moved in, so now I'm back at work to catch up on rest :shock:
If I can get enough done by Sat I'll be there.
Of course, exhaust just fell off car too, add that to the 'To Do' list... :roll:
Edit: The gentleman in the 5th pic appears interested in more than one kind of brew...those gloves should protect him from the frosty bottle

With the current price of fuel, no one would be laughing, it'd be a real conversation piece!
When telling people about it, say something like "Fuel milage? Nah, not very good. Only about 29(?)mpg."
Then look really sad.
Anyone that drives a fullsize gasser will get a funny look on their face, go to say something, stop, and walk away

Nah, everyone that drives a full size gasser gets 30mpg these days. No one likes to admit they made a poor choice... I used to get that alot when I drove my lincoln diesel. I used to tell people it got an honest 30mpg, (it did), they would usually reply with something like "my 302 ford 3/4 ton 4WD gets that". Well of course it does...

That "gentleman" is my Dad
and he can't work without one of those
hee hee don't you know you NEED to have that when you're making BioDiesel anyway; prevents methanol poisoning
btw, my Dad is responsible for building most of the processor; I just buy the stuff and hand him the tools
