RE: Substitute for Ether
I wish there was a running synopsis of various recipes and their running characteristics. Probably everyone does. Years ago, I would have gladly tackled such a project myself. Now, just a little time spent at the monitor starts my eyes to jittering. Rats! What is worse is that I even have the time available to perform such a task, but not the vision. Astigmatism and diabetes have taken their toll.
I can understand why a fuel discussion would be moved to the fuel forum. It makes perfect sense to me.
It also would have made sense to post some kind of a notice, or to send all concerned a notice telling them of the move. But, alas, it is not a perfect world, and, amazingly, things have been rectified. We do provide the content for RCU, which they are very aware of, I'm sure. We too should keep in mind that without them, we would have no forum at all unless we set something up on the newsgroups. Yech.
I haven't read everything as yet. Even if I had, I'm sure I wouldn't remember much of it, but at this point, I'm interested in the B100 with stoddard solvent mix. Unfortunately, the closest place that I have found (so far) selling B100 is eighty or so miles away. This is a truckstop in Murfreesboro, TN. The closer places that I have found do not sell B100, but much lower soy oil concentrations instead.
Stoddard solvent is available at a Lowe's just a mile or so down the road. I like B100 because of its preliminary estimation of providing adequate lubrication. I have no idea how much a gallon (US) is selling for at the 80 miles away site.
I'll have all of you know that you have finally pushed me over the edge of participating with model Diesel engines again. The fuel exploration did the trick.
Why does the olive oil have to be treated? Miscibility? TIA
