What about my oil tank--is it compatible with Bioheat® fuel?

Biodiesel.org - Home Heating Oil
All known oil tanks and systems are compatible with Bioheat® fuel at blends of 20% or less. For higher biodiesel blends, up to and including 100% biodiesel, compatibility will depend on the materials (metals, plastics, and rubber parts) in your tanks, pumps and fuel lines. For blends higher than 20% biodiesel only steel, mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, fluorinated polyethylene fluorinated polypropylene and fiberglass vessels are recommended.

What about fuel and oil?

Cape York Trail Bike Tour Information
A.If riding your own bike it must be full of fuel on arrival so we can get an early start on day one. We use unleaded on tour and fill from our support vehicle. Two stroke riders will need to supply own oil, which will be carried on the support vehicle. You should also carry a 500ml spare in your pack just in case.

What is the difference between 15% and 30% fuel?

Frequently Asked Questions
The percentage represents the amount of nitromethane in the jug of fuel. In the U.S. 15% is the common amount to use. Other countries typically run 0 to 5%. The 30% gives more power, but until you start 3D you won't need that. In fact a heli that is properly setup and engine tuned will do 3D just fine on 15%. Also one with 0 to 5% will do fine if you run a tuned pipe and the carb is setup to have a fine degree of adjustment.

Can I run these [diesel] engines on R/C buggy fuel, Nitro methane / oil mixture?

Frequently Asked Questions on Model IC Engine Construction
Sorry, no. R/C buggies today use glow plug engines. These run on a mix of methanol and oil, frequently with some percentage of nitro methane added as a go-fast ingredient. The ignition temperature for this fuel is much, much higher than that obtainable in compression ignition engines.

There is no definition of premium fuel, so the term eally means nothing and is over used by suppliers. For a descrition of the characteristics proposed for "premium diesel" see this Cheveron bulletin. Cummins says that fuel additives are not needed in their engines.

How do emission, fuel economy and power compare with biodiesel and with diesel fuel?

FAQ - PlantDrive? International - convert diesel to run on v...
Emissions results do vary between engines and test equipment, but in our tests on an early 80's VW turbodiesel, opacity (which is used as an indicator of particulate emissions) was reduced by about 50%, compared to premium diesel fuel. Other EPA regulated emissions were about the same for all the fuels tested. Power was equal to premium diesel that test. We find no difference power while driving, between diesel and SVO/WVO, as long as the filter is clean and the SVO is heated.

Can Brass Craft gas connectors be used with fuel oil?

Frequently Asked Questions

Do oil burner manufacturers recommend the use of Bioheat® fuel with their equipment?

Biodiesel.org - Home Heating Oil
this time the emergence of Bioheat® fuel is much too new for burner manufacturers to comment on. However, in work accomplished throughout the northeast, organizations like Carlin, Beckett and Power Flame (notable burner manufactures) all are reviewing Bioheat® fuel. Bioheat® fuel appears to have little or no negative impact on a burner’s performance while providing emissions, sulfur, lubricity, global warming and health benefits.

Once blended will the Bioheat® fuel stay blended with my home heating oil?

Biodiesel.org - Home Heating Oil
Yes. The biodiesel in Bioheat® fuel goes completely into solution with heating oil and once it is blended it does not come out of solution and will not separate. Bioheat® fuel contains biodiesel. Biodiesel provides a cleaning effect and does have a tendency to dissolve or loosen some sediment that can be deposited in tanks and fuel systems from years of conventional diesel fuel or home heating oil use. This cleaning effect is dependent upon the blend concentration of biodiesel.

Q Can you explain the difference in fuel economy between diesel and hybrid driving modes?

Answers to your most frequently asked questions
A That's a good question. When you can drive on two fundamentally different power systems ? one that uses petroleum motor fuel and one that does not ? establishing overall "fuel economy" becomes a slippery issue. The hybrid mode does not directly enhance fuel economy. It does it indirectly. The actual fuel economy figure depends on the details of the particular trip - how much you rely on battery power and how much you rely on diesel power. The XR-3 gets 125-mpg in the diesel-only mode.

Where do I get diesel fuel from in the USA?

Frequently Asked Questions on Model IC Engine Construction
