Bit quiet!

[Julian]

Noticing that things had been quiet on here for a little while, I jumped on the VOD and had a look ... much the same if not worse there given the size of the membership.  Only one thread bio related, one or two veg related and the balance car maintenance or totally unrelated stuff.

Is everybody making perfect bio without problems, have we developed things as far as they can go,
are all the old hands suffering bio-fatigue?

[Manfred]

I been doing a bit of reading. And at the mo am converting my settling tank into a pre drying tank to try and dry my oil a bit faster than with the in tank Venturi. Waiting on the pump, tomorrow hopefully.  Don't need to brew for a fortnight so so yet so plenty of time.

[Julian]

To answer one of my own questions ... I'm managing to cock up more batches than when I first started.

Frankenpump has struck again and made another emulsion. Only seems to be since I stopped using ASM.

I guess with the nights drawing out a bit, peeps are getting out and about a bit more, and not sat on the 'puter.
I regularly go on two or three other forums, besides this one and VOD, and they are dead too.

Yes I am...no issues at all at the moment. Still making it the same wasteful way I always have with nothing but perfect results. I wish it would go wrong so that I could post up and seek the advice of those who have screwed up in the recent past. No not really!

Busy in the back ground helping people. Much easier that way and people are more appriciative. Suits me.

ASM sales still going strong. I even had an unsolicited venturi enquiry.

I've also been a little disillusioned with the bio forums recently and not been posting much, very little veg/bio post as you said Julian.


We need another "next great thing" to try out.


I've been spending some time on Landyzone reading up on my soon to be next car, two more sleeps before I pick it up.

Big mistake ... big, big mistake.

If you read too much of that sort of thing you'll never have any more sleeps, worrying what's going to go wrong next.

I hope you have thick skin if you start posting on LandyZone Mark. They dont mince their words on there.

Quite ironically, I have now joined an Audi forum. Not because I particularly wanted to post, rather because they had a really good guide to the car's systems but I had to join to download it.

Not been reading about what can go wrong, haven't got that much time.

There's some green lanes around the Devils punch Bowl, that could be fun (and free).
But I can't find any info about the 4x4 track that I've seen around me.

I've only posted in the intro section at the mo, but yes I have thick skin, it's only words not bullets.

Looks like your prayers have been answered! Some one has joined VOD to troll!

I haven't had time to do anything with work and a teething baby.

On the plus side I start my new job in a couple of weeks (10 hours less a week) and baby has started to sleep more now so I'll have a bit more energy to go up the shed.

I've got make a drying tank for the veg, so I can make bio and dry a batch of oil in the same day.

I've acquired a 120lt drum that's opaque with a scale on the side for finished bio.

Just hope the weather keeps improving.

Fuel making same old same really, nothing exciting to report.

Been busy playing with the Largo mostly.  Had some of the fuel system apart so I guess I could post that here.

Annoyingly the horn on the steering wheel doesn't work and has been replaced with a dash button.  But it only works sometimes.  Figured it out today - they'd wired the 12V feed to the horn from the cabin fan negative - so it only works when the cabin fan is off, and gets quieter/doesn't work at all when the fan is turned up.  Daft... will be fixing that now I've located the horn relay and circuit colours

Sounds a bit like my daughters car (petrol Corsa for sale cheap if anyone is interested).  To get the radio to work you have to beep the horn or turn the lights on and off.
