28-05-08, 19:30 GMT+10#25 Here is a pic of the E85 pump near my joint. took a pic while I was there today for you. Price has gone up too was $1.05 the other day. It says on the label on the pump that it isnt for public use but spoke to the attendant and he says that it is there to stop just anyone filling there car up on E85 that isnt converted to run on E85 and having trouble.

30-05-08, 11:28 GMT+10#27 i cant wait for it to get in my motor bike says i can run methanol so this **** should work no worries
ive been useing the united stuff in my cars for a while intill i got a company car i was running it in my 323, 1983 carby and it had old perished fuel lines after the filtter and some of that got into the carby cleaned it out a few times no problems and was still running the old fuel lines it loved it
and my wagon had a very noisey internal pump when i brought it and it run united fuel intill the pump died and it was about a year pulled it out and it had small speckles of the fuel line on the bottom which was origanal holden
im a mechanic and have found only these problems with my own cars so if you were going to run it in your own cars i would advise you to change your old fuel lines other that that **** ran good in my cars

I am pretty sure the gov will give a rebate on disiel in due time as a freind of mine is a truckie and he is saying he is due for a increase in the fuel levey-
but it also depends on what people base the desiel debate on cost vs kilometres-
my accountant is happy with his x5 getting 1200-1300 kays per tank
A good freind says her vw desiel is getting 5/6 kays per hundred- so in a way desiel is way ahead of its time in usage and cost-
What i dont understand is that this goverment is spending **** loads to go down the green road- they are wanting to bring emisions down and fuel usage down from 11/10 down to 5/6 litres per hundred
my ? is why when we got desiel's already doing the target now- should we not spend more at making desiel even more efficent-
The gov can fix this problem at the click of the finger-but when they are reeping in billions a year just from the gst alone in petrol why would they want to fix it now?
also-i dont understand why we dont produce ethanol on massive scale-we got the land to do it-we could grow to eat and grow to burn-
Thanks

but its about 20cents a litre more than petrol it seems to be going up faster than petrol i think these fuel companys and our govenment want every thing to be the same $ per km, so desiel and gas will cost the same as a petrol so youll end up paying more for a car and that money youll never get back

diesels dont last like they used too years ago you could get 500k no worries, now youll be lucky to get 300k out of the turbo diesels and there not worth fixing the engine when they blow up, ive got a mate at the moment, cars a landcruiser turbo 400k engine ****ed 12k to fix it thats not cool

not always its is just some comon rail systems that really work!
good thing is ive been tuning comon rails for nearly 1 year now and just getting the hang of all the shortcuts to a good tune!
alternative fuels have always interested me
i can even tune upto c18 cat deisels now with new sniper i'm getting!

true but with a cruiser you have the option of a jap import engine!
and its not that they dont last as long its we ask more of them!
eg: if you never took an rb30 over 3000 rpm it would last ****loads longer yeah! same goes with deseasels they still last if you dont use the rpm but why own one if it is not as good?
yep get petrol!!!!!
