Steve Butters Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 i was told you can burn regular diesel in a kerosene heater...would be worth looking into maybe...atleast diesel smells good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also weren't on the list that I found for retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 You're not on the distributors map either, KK.Hoblick, there's a distributor on Phillipi. Here's that map:http://www.biodiesel.org/buyingbiodiesel/distributors/biomaps/biomaps.shtm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might drive more business for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawi kid Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 there are different types of bio diesel also. not all bio is made from french fry oil. typically that is fairly dirty and sometimes can cause problemls with filters. we sell soy based bio its way cleaner and you arent as hungry after dealing with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some potential problems from switching back and forth between Bio, and petrol, (in vehicles) which varies by application. One example is the VW injection pump head o-ring. When switching from bio back to petrol, the ring can shrink causing problems with the pump keeping primed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 if you are running straight 100% bio i can see problems happening. but running anything more than about 10 - 15% is really a waste, after that you dont see any real improvements in anything. we sell blends. you tell us what percent you want and we make it and bring it. straight bio diesel will turn to jelly in cold weather. so 2-5% is about all you want to have heading into this time of year.
