Re: How much do you guys smoke and what grade of diesel ? MP

Very well put Glenn; we have huge waste of all of our natural resources in the so-called developed world. I assume you have watched food:inc. from your beef reference. As Pollan says we used to spend 20% of our income on food, 10% on health care; now its reversed. North Americans do eat too much che...

Re: How much do you guys smoke and what grade of diesel ? MP

As one of those greenies I question your tying the reduction of Sulphur S in the fuel with a reduction in NOx nitrogen and oxygen in various forms, NO, No2, etc Perfect eg. biodiesel with no sulphur but burns w elevated levels of NOx vs dino-diesel. The challenge w dino fuels are that the earth sequ...

Re: How much do you guys smoke and what grade of diesel ? MP

I think Butch could probably offer some insight. I would think the better your engine is running, the cleaner the exhaust, the less buildup of soot in the intake manifold, and less in the EGR which keeps it operating better and round we go. I need to take my own EGR out and clean it to start the pos...

Re: How much do you guys smoke and what grade of diesel ? MP

You got me........we are very environmental conscience and it bugs the heck out of me that I don't drive vehicles that burn less fuel, however as a farmer I need to get my equipment around to our vineyards and thats only going to happen w a rig like the F350 and big trailer. My equipment is the most...

Re: Requirements for Running Biodiesel (B100)

One other thing. I was told that when bio was mandated by the feds for 3% of all diesel sold in Canada that the oil companies cut a deal to add all of that requirement in to a half dozen or so markets; Vancouver/Lower Mainland being the one year round market for a Bio blend so that for most of the y...

Re: Requirements for Running Biodiesel (B100)

We have a fleet of 4 tractors 71 Mitsu, 95 Yanmar, 05 Kubota, 08 Deutz, a Kubota engined Bobcat, F350, and 2 Pajeros, all of which ran on B20-100 here in the F.V. depending on the time of year for 2.5 years now. Fuel filters changed in half of them once so far. Surprisingly the oldest one, the 71 Mi...

Re: How much do you guys smoke and what grade of diesel ? MP

I have done a tremendous amount of research on the subject. There is no question that not every scientist is going to agree, they never have, unfortunately when you research the money behind the naysayers you find the culprits I spoke of earlier,Big oil, Big Chemical, Big Seed, Big Pharmaseutical, t...

Re: towing with a 2.5 lwb

To give you an idea of how strong the Pajero can be, we were hauling that 14,000lbs trailer up to Coldwater and it started to rain, very unusual for that area. The new dirt road turned to slop as we rounded a bend and the tires on the F350 and trailer snk in and spun in 4wdr, my son was stuck good. ...

Re: How much do you guys smoke and what grade of diesel ? MP

The EGR valve is used to reduce NOx not CO2 emissions. I know of a Deli that couldn't pass NOx w the EGR removed...................I didn't think there was anyone left that was still being duped by Big Oil and Big Coals propaganda trying to save their industries :o . Have you been to Whistler lately...

Re: How much do you guys smoke and what grade of diesel ? MP

Now I'm hooked......hey folks I take exception to removing EGR valves, by all means take them out and clean them but don't run without it, please. We all breath this air and every little bit makes a difference. We only have 9 years to reduce our CO2 emmisions by 80% or glaciers will be totally melte...

Re: towing with a 2.5 lwb

this is my first post so please go easy on me. I have been towing trailers for 40 years now with many different vehicles. There is no hard and fast rule but perhaps I might make some suggestions. The longer the wheelbase of the towing vehicle the more secure you will feel as you go down the road and...
