Yep e85 =bullshit biodeisel from waste oils=good though the same benefits as normal deisel, and better emissions and economy. Trying to comercialize it and drive up the prices of other shit=bad :cry:

an episode of dirty jobs (discovery channel freak) shows how a guy uses modified old cooking oil in an unmodified diesel getting 40mpg, said it smells like fajitas

now on the serious note, lol, think about it, the inflation has nothing to do with shortages, if there was a shortage it would have to be underground, and then we'd be paying $50 a gallon cause there just is no more oil...this shortage BS is just that...BS, if you were a business man (BUSH), and your primary field was oil (BUSH), and you had a great plan to increase your profit margin (BUSH), and once you start it goes really well cause of lack of attention from domestic market (US), those suckers believe everything you say and turn around and forget it (no harm done), so you continue while you are still presiedent (BUSH), so when next president comes to power (HE/SHE rofl) is really screwed trying fo fix shit and we forgot everything that happened before them (BUSH) and blame the new president (HIM for sure) for everything, and thats how its been done all along
not sure word for word but "the one with the money gets the power, the one with power gets the pussy" tada |

At my work we ran bio-diesel (what you are referring to) for a few years and it worked great, very little, if any diesel stink crept into the stations from the truck bays. However this year we discovered a problem with it. We constantly keep a full tank of fuel in the trucks for reason of potential extended operations. If bio-diesel is allowed to sit like our trucks do sometimes, it stratifies... all the heavy shit settles down and any hydrocarbons float up (naturally). So back to the drawing board on that one. They are testing a synthetic jet fuel that has been used so far with no ill effect on the test aircraft though, that might be an answer for us.

it's modified, you have to heat the oil and have a way to start/shutdown on diesel, so 2 tanks and a switch.

Vehicles can run bio-diesel unmodified, just don't let them sit for extended periods and make sure you run that tank down. It's just a problem for low sulfur fuels in newer diesels... but I suspect that's just some bullshit. People are brewing it all over the place at home and running it no problem. |

this might have a little to do with it

I'm with you Phil. I'd be interested in what you'd need to change out in terms of fueling lines/tank/etc... to convert to E85 for the 105 octane benefit. IIRC markp was thinking about doing this a while back too.
You can use a stock filter but you would need to change it during the conversion and probably change it again after 20-30K miles. E100 has a cleaning affect similar to biodiesel. Any gunk in your tank or pump will end up in the fuel filter and will glog it up fairly quick. |
