    plastic to diesel

    This isn't really new technology. There have been methods of creating "synthetic" diesel fuels for quite some time. I know the Germans had a similar program during WWII to help keep up with demand for fuel in their resource strapped empire. They were converting coal to diesel, and IIRC, also...

    Auto Diesel vs. Truckstop Diesel Fuels

    In the winter, in cold climates, it is a mixture of #1 and #2 diesel, to prevent gelling. In the summer, and in warm climates, it is typically #2 only. Any diesel that is branded "premium" or "supreme" is just a gimmick by that particular retailer to sell his wares. #2 is pretty much #2 no...

    850hp,14 inches in diameter,150lb engine.

    BS flag officially unhoisted... I am extremely interested at this point. My computer at work won't support animations, I guess I need to go home and log onto that site and check out how this thing works. The thing that gets me is that the combustion chamber displacement is listed as 850...

    850hp,14 inches in diameter,150lb engine.

    Is this a quasi-turbine? Can anybody actually tell how it works based on the diagrams? I sure can't. Notice the spark plug? If it needs a spark plug, it cannot be THAT efficient. Quasi-turbine with carriages engines use HCCI (homogeneous combustion, compression ignition) for...

    Low sulfur diesel

    Diesel may cost a few cents more at the pump Probably won't even be able to tell the difference. The ASTM standard for ULSD requires a lubricity additive, which brings it back up to the levels of LSD. Your pump and injectors will last just as long. The truck shouldn't be any louder. If it...

    I don't normally take the Lord's name in vain, but Jesus Christ.... http://www.yellowstone-bearman.com/Tim_Treadwell.html I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep well for weeks... This is one of the most haunting and eerily logical reports I could find on the subject. I was...

    diesel gonna be over $5 a gallon!!!!!???

    Oil is a fungible commodity. What this means is that oil from Venezuela is the same as oil from the Persian Gulf is the same as oil from Canada is the same as oil from Iran, etc. It also means that there is a set worldwide demand for it, so if we stop buying Iranian oil, for instance, Iran...

    flat tax or fair tax???

    Yup! And I went to state doing it, too! I am over 300 now, to those of you keeping track. Now you know why they call me Hoss... I did make a small mistake. At 18, I was 6'3". I'm 6'4" now.

    Electric Fans

    Are you talking as an addition to your factory fan, or as a replacement? Do you ever do any heavy towing? If so, I would recommend you keep the factory fan on there. If not, then you're probably okay.

    flat tax or fair tax???

    I would gladly pay any amount of gold-platedness that they felt the need to bestow on guys like you that served in the armed forces. Your service and theirs are two very different things. Thanks again for that, by the way. Guys like me that have never been in the armed services owe guys...

    Hipp- err, I mean, Grizzly Man...

    Allright, i watched a little more of it last night, and have to add a few more things. For a guy that claimed to be a bear expert, he sure didn't read bears very well. In several scenes, you can see the bears laying their ears back on their heads. This is an obvious sign of anger and...

    flat tax or fair tax???

    Which, unfortunately, is literally what it would become... :rolleyes: Also, disbanding the IRS would be a pain due to all of the entrenched, entitlement-minded governement workers suddenly forced to work for a living and released on the open market. We would have legions of lazy, entitled...

    flat tax or fair tax???

    Location: 7th level of hell... Judecca, eh? So, are you sharing the mouth with Judas Iscariot, Brutus, or Cassius? Or are you a lesser 7th region denizen who is simply frozen in "straws of ice" for all eternity? I guess you all didn't know, but Dante says hell froze over hundreds of...

    flat tax or fair tax???

    I agree with you with all of my being, but i am realistic enough to realize that a tax that does not "graduate" itself to help the poor will never get passed by the bleeding hearts in Washington. If you look at my idea, it really is MUCH more simple than what we have now. It goes pretty...

    Power when Towing

    Okay, first off, that is just a re-branded Edge EZ or Diablosport ICP module. It will not give you +5 MPG :rolleyes: . Maybe it is 70 HP, I don't know. However, regardless, the problem with the original poster's truck will still exist, even if he throws a power adder on it. It is like...

    How much play in steering?

    Hey Jim... How did you go about doing this? I, also, have about two inches of movement and it is sort of annoying. I like to have about an inch, so if you could give me an idea on how to adjust the steering gear, I'd appreciate it.

    flat tax or fair tax???

    While a flat tax is a good idea, IMHO, simply because it reduces so much work and worry, and virtually eliminates the IRS, you have to be careful about who is proposing the issue and what their agenda is. Steve Forbes is a good example of a guy who promotes the flat tax, but does so for his...

    Hipp- err, I mean, Grizzly Man...

    My thoughts exactly. You get into this beautiful scenery an then a greasy hippy gets in the way and starts talking again. It was sort of frustrating... As for wolves kill them they are a nusance predator. I can guarantee you that the ranchers are shooting on sight and just burying or...

    exhaust tip that is just plain wrong!

    The thing I can't understand about that show is that the guys never really solve any problems. What I mean is that the show starts witt he guy saying his truck keeps breaking down, and goes to pics of him on the side of the road with the hood, and they make it sound like these guys are gonna...

    Hipp- err, I mean, Grizzly Man...

    Oh, just so you guys know what sort of character you're dealing with here, on my trip into the Pasayten, we had one mule solely dedicated to hauling beer, booze, and chewing tobacco in for the trip. Lots of fun!!!

    Fine, but you're really missing out on some jewels of wisdom, here, man! :roflmao Seriously, take a second to read if you get a chance or are interested. It is long, but I think interesting.

    Hipp- err, I mean, Grizzly Man...

    What a hell of a way to die... For both parties... The people ended up getting munched, and rendered into a pile of steaming bear crap, and the bears had to die with the taste of dirty, smelly hippies in their mouths. Poor bastards, the lot of them. Yes, this, my friends, I'm afraid, is...
