Re: OT BioDiesel
Hi Doug,
The weed burner I used growing up used coils around the flame
thrower to keep the compressed kerosene hot enough to burn. It had a
built in tray we filled with gasoline to start.
Also use a kerosene heater for the parent home while I was very
young, of which my dad accidentally hooked the gas can to. I did the
same thing in the ARMY with my diesel tent heater, hooking it to the
five gallons gas, kept me very warm that night. :-)

Not forgetting Bill that the refining process for standard ULP (or gasoline
as you guys refer to it) is also an energy-intensive process.

Re: OT BioDiesel
In case anyone is tempted to build one of these things, they are dangerous
and illegal by fire codes, in all countries that have fire codes. The fire
can go out, the fuel will still gravity feed onto the hot burner, and the
house will then fill up with flammable vapors. The next thing that happens,
is usually bad. I put my plans from Mother Earth News on the shelf, and
left them there.
