Why do I need a 6 port pollak fuel valve?

Well obviously you do not necessarily need one of these units in your vegetable oil conversion but they may make all the difference to the way your vehicle runs and survives on oil.

Many Injection Pumps (IP) just cannot handle the thicker vegetable oil in your system. They have been designed for diesel.

To make [...]

Do I get a 12, 20 or 30 plate heat exchange for my vegetable oil conversion?

This is a question that is regularly asked.

It is most probably asked in response to the price of these items and peoples desire to save a few dollars, and of course this is a very valid reason to ask.

The heat exchangers may be identical in materials, shape and construction, the only difference is [...]

So what is China doing?

Sending a message to business in China and elsewhere?

Showing the chinese generally that anyone who goes against China (or the party) can expect to be in trouble.

Bribery and corruption are rife in China, business dealings are grey nearly all the time and there does not appear to be much transparency at all.

We [...]

The joys of Flash

Well, not so much joy, but I have found that when entering a flash site (with flash as an intro) I very happily move on if there is no option to bypass flash.

Just went to a site that had a flash intro, after 15 seconds it had loaded about 35% so I went somewhere [...]

Turnbull may have been outbulled?

While the opposition has tried to link Kevin Rudd to a story about misleading Parliament it now is beginning to appear that he has been left dangling as Rudd calls in the Police and asks Turnbull for proof of the existence of the offending email related to Rudd providing assistance to his mate over a [...]

Are we on the brink?

The concept of a catastrophic tipping in the worlds climate has been around for a long time.

The idea that “global warming” could in fact cause a reaction that plunges the world into an ice age has also be postulated and has some support.

The geologic calendar is littered with major swings and changes in [...]

Councils give up on e-waste collections

too good to be true.

Auction sites, 99 cent winners of $3000 goods, $200 postage, multiple addresses.

It goes on and on.

Should I trust them to send the goods before I pay the money?

THHGG and the nature of God

Quote

Now it is such a bizarrely impossible coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the nonexistence of God. The arguement goes something like this:

“I refuse to prove that I exist,” says God, “for [...]

More unemployment to come?

The ABC seems to report that things are still bouncing along the bottom.

Varying figures for employment and job opportunities still however, seem to be painting a bleaker picture then we may expect.

I think the recovery may be sooner then expected, far easier to express fear, uncertainty and doubt.

Prediction – Australian stock market [...]

The boat has moved on

The successful completion of the cron job.

The wandering through the untagged posts.

Enough for today.
