It was good reading....Hi - nice work in Tonga guys! It was good reading. We're working on using straight coconut oil in small diesels, as this has been done in the Pacific since World War 2, in times of fuel shortages, generally with good success. There's quite a bit on the net about it, Tony Deamer in Samoa would be a good resource. Using straight veg oil would result in a lower cost fuel, as you save the cost of the biodiesel chemicals, and it's safer too. There are some fuel preheating modifications required and generally a bit of mixing with diesel or kero (or maybe biodiesel), but I hope you can consider this as a possibility.<BR/><BR/>Good luck - drop us a line at info@barefootpower.com if you'd like to link up, we're creating a network of village engineers to scale up these initiatives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37488667.post-62384714165580710602007-04-13T17:41:00.000-07:002007-04-13T17:41:00.000-07:00congraluations and thanks for sharing your success...congraluations and thanks for sharing your success!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37488667.post-28548743476744851942007-04-08T06:37:00.000-07:002007-04-08T06:37:00.000-07:00Congratulations and best of luck!Congratulations and best of luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
