Ah yes it's always worth listening to Farmer Joe ;o)

In fact it's always worth listening to everyone just in case...


Ok I'm quite happy to find another use for this stuff; but I'd like to find 
out  more of the science and physics of the  problem. Assuming no actual 
soiling of the petroleum; what's the difference between good stuff and bad 
stuff?
Here's a few thoughts:
Gasoline must work in a gasser by reliance of a kind of fuse or detonator 
lit by a spark to start the burning that has now evaporated in this old 
stuff.
I wonder what substance  'X' is? :o)
I wonder if a stronger spark would help?
It will definitely burn on a bonfire etc so we're not talkin' flat coke 
here!.
Has this stuff simply become 'thin' diesel and will actually perform better 
under 23:1 diesel conditions? Maybe preheating is the answer? Higher 
compression in a gasser?
Do the doubters actually think it won't burn? Can the doubters put their 
finger on the essence of their doubt?
Definitely too thin for the I/P but why not add wax or veg or oil. What 
about a viscosity test to match it with diesel..[or, make it better than the 
cr*p the Americas seem to be getting these days]

I bet there's lots of it lying around waiting for some clever dick to 
exploit this stuff...
Regards
Mark
