That doesn't look safe for welding in.

Not enough UV protection, ya reckon?

M67 arrived today, looks to be all in working order.  Looking forward to first firing :)

Hope you are going to experiment with bio and veg as a fuel, it would seem wrong to be at a BBB and heat with red diesel.
i have run mine on 70% veg oil ok. bit more difficult to start but fine once it is hot. i will try it on bio when i have some, but want to keep the bio for the van. i can get red or heating oil around here easily enough and every litre of bio in the heater is a litre less on the road. i see the bio as being worth 1.38 a ltr and the red being 79p.

Here's Stephen's one at BBB 2013 running on bio to clean up a drum with some soapy water:



One tub of 25l of bio should run it for a day or so, we can always ask for hot-tub fuel donations.

We did try running it on glyc but with less success.

Was at lynda and chugs last week
the subject came up
She is expecting it to be available to hold at least 10-15 farty old biomakers but far fewer ladies
she is also expecting it to be avilable for a weeks use including 2 week ends cus thats how long the BB is to be this its tenth year.
I have refrained from comenting untill now and only comented to make you aware of the extent of the chalenge she has laid down
If I can be of any help let me know but as to how I can help I have no idea .

if it's still wanted, I've still got the tank, and a freezer door big enough to stand it on (insulated base)

it'll fit on my trailer... trailer just needs a bit of welding

if it's still good... when do you need it chug ?  I can get it ready and bring it down at pretty short notice :-)

Yay, a nine day BBB  :) :) :)

I reckon we will come for the whole lot (providing it's in school holidays) and maybe take the opportunity to pop into London on the train on a couple of days and show Alicia some of the sights.

The server locked up, that's a first.  And my phone crashed.  It has been a bad tech day!

Since proper pools have those showers to rinse with before you get in maybe we should?  Some ideas:
