Re: Exit Polls
 

you cant use bio diesel in new cars but its nothing to do with the new engines its that the designers changed how the filters work so on newer cars they get clogged up with bio diesel

i think there is an additive you can get to help the problem but im not sure it works in the newer cars

or you could just buy red diesel from the dodgy bloke at the dodgy garage and hope not to get caught lol

Re: Exit Polls
 

Looks like I should have included the phrase 'traditional electrolysis of water' in my previous post. Obviously been retired for too long and not keeping up to date. However the currently available hydrogen fuel is being manufactured in 'traditional' ways and that is silly, better to burn the natural gas directly and avoid wasting the energy needed to turn it into hydrogen.

Tucked away at the bottom of the page of one the previous references is the following link to a very interesting development. Admittedly only the first step to half of a problem but a very good first step. Needs to overcome the already noted problems and an equivalent development for the other half of the reaction but if it can be made to work and scale up could be very very good.

a lot of problems have occured over the last few years with the use of diesel. a few years due to the introduction of ago BMW diesel cars had a big problem with their fuel pumps having failures due to a lot of additives being taken out of the fuel to make it what they call cleaner. advised owners to put an additive in when re fueling. i always do this using a millers product.{other ones are available**. does what it says on the can. not many diesels even older ones can be run with success on old chip oil without damage. know some who have but not for a long time.

I've used bio diesel as well from a local producer but I ran a Xantia of almost pure veg oil with a little diesel to thin it down a bit. The problem is the viscosity at lower temperatures so it was a summer experiment only. You can run straight veg oil all the time but you need to heat it to thin it which is a faff and I didn't want to take it that for by adding heat exchangers etc.

One problem with bio in older cars is that it can cause problems with seal used, newer diesels use different materials not affected by the bio diesel.

Some bio diesel isn't as green as people think, most is a methyl ester made using methanol which comes from the petrochemical industry. An ethyl ester made from ethanol is greener as long as you make your ethanol by fermentation and not petrochem

As usual the vagaries of AW led us off on a tangent about alternative fuels & power sources, possibly worth a thread of its own. Still as the bold Cashy pointed out we're off topic .... so, to bring things back round again.

It seems the whiners & ne'er do wells (Corpy-bin, the Wee ginger Tom & jumped up Jones) are after kissing eu arse by presenting their individual cases ref Brexit but "Big bad Barnier" has fobbed them off or so he says, who knows what the truth is, time will tell no doubt.

Re: Exit Polls
 

It worries this MP because she is a black person( I thought we had changed this to a 'person of colour')...How very sad that this is something that she has at the forefront of her worries.
I can assure her that we have a lot of things in this country to be worried about...and that flag is definitely NOT one of them.

cynical baggage that I am...I think this is more about raising her profile than any issues to do with a flag.

Re: Exit Polls
 

Yes indeed how typical, our blacks greys, greens and browns, what we call mixed race and plenty of others, put up with far more than the style of a flag.

WE are people of many races, we understand that we are all different but exist in our communities as best we can, this complaining misery isn't helping, she is dividing our communities by complaining about something that really doesn't matter.
