Copper reactor /processor ?
Hi , I’m about to build a reactor/processor . I have the option of using 180 litre old hot water cylinders for this purpose . One is made of steel and the other is made of copper . I like the lighter weight of the copper cylinder but am wondering if it would have enough strength for a reactor…

air in fuel system
Hi Everybody, I need some advice about a problem I’m having currently with my BJ40 Landcruiser (3b). I start up on diesel and then switch to wvo when the temperatore reaches about 70 degrees. This is the temprature OUTSIDE the glowplug heater. If I let the temperature get any higher before…
I need some advice about a problem I’m having currently with my BJ40 Landcruiser (3b).
I start up on diesel and then switch to wvo when the temperatore reaches about 70 degrees. This is the temprature OUTSIDE the glowplug heater. If I let the temperature get any higher before switching, the engine suffers fuel starvation on the next hill. Am I getting the oil too hot and introducing air into the system? It takes many minutes of cranking to get the beast going again. The temperature of the gp heater varies between 50 and 90 degrees depending on the fuel flow and ambient temperature.
If anybody has any ideas on what might be happening I would be grateful.
Cheers,
Badboybubby;)
Looking at the economics of distillers grains

Nice piece in the Sioux Falls Argus Leader looking at the way that sales of distillers grains is helping to support the ethanol industry in the US.
Historically, distillers grain represented 10 percent of an ethanolplant’s revenue stream, said Jerry Shurson, an animal science professorat the University of Minnesota. Today, it’s closer to 20 percent to 25percent, he said.
Which is nice to have, but if the volume of ethanol keeps on growing then the supply of distillers grains will continue to increase. This might reduce the price of distillers grains, but since it takes about three pounds of corn to produce about one pound of grains (the other two are converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide gas), this may not matter because producing ethanol and distillers grains takes corn out of the market.
Not all of the people in the report are happy about that. Especially those who live a long way from distilleries.
