Got it wrong again thinking you wanted any argument not a bio related argument.

I'm sure you are correct.

There are probably over 10 times the people running veg and making bio than are members on the 2 forums. I remember looking in on this forum years ago thinking I would love to post on here but was nervous because I didn't know enough about the subject.

How things have moved on, Dave. Now you're up there with the top innovators, if not the 'numero uno', these days.

It was noted that Keith didn't do the BBB this year. :(

Brewing bio. And still not breaking cars!

Right then may be a discussion not an  argument yet but is spontaneous combustion a fact or fiction.

I have tried to get oily rags to ignite with no success tried with different amounts of oil bio and glycerol.

Have taken the temperature and have not noticed any significant rise. 

I think the warnings of not leaving oily rags about is wrong.

One thing I'd like to improve/speed up is demeth time. 

Get a Squirrel, YES they do work, I've been demething in under an hour for years.

I did if you remember ... an adjustable one (think you were very nearly complimentary about it) and it no, it didn't work.

But I've got some cunning ideas up my sleeve ...

i disagree. a friend was treating the poles of a yurt with linseed oil, can't remember if it was boiled or not, and put the oil and rags ina cupboard under the stairs. about midnight there was commotion and lots of smoke from next door. she came out with a box of smoking rags that then caught fire.

Thanks Keef,
it saves me finding the thread again. What with that and the M67 runaway our hay barn has been a little lucky over the years.

I don't use the M67 as often nowadays, the experiance has left me a little nervous!

I don't know about that but thanks anyway. The recent 10/90 variations I have been doing have brought to light an astonishing anomoly which I will report in a couple of days when I have finished all the tests.
