solid fuel

solid fuel
I built a oiler that ran on lard once,only experimental though,it was started on conventional fuel and used heat exchangers from the coolant to raise the temparature of the lard where it then ran via tubing in close proximity to the exhaust before it was fed via a solenoid operated change over valve into the fuel pump,1 block of lard about 10 miles,the only drawback is you have a inexplicable urge for a bacon butty!

I am sorry but i believe you are talking absolute codswallop there is no way upon this earthly place that you could use something like lard to run a motor on , I believe you have an overactive imagination , do you have a medical problem like a.d.d or something , are you on medication? if so stay well away from cars and from here!

Pinkandnok. welcome to the forum. Although we all enjoy a little gentle mickey taking _(and we're very good at it!), straightforward abuse is very much frowned upon by our moderators as is unpunctuated textspeak, because many of our contributors and those we try to help do not speak English as a first language. For your information, lard, if raised to the correct temperature probably would be capable of running a Diesel engine. Many of our contributors have done extensive and useful research upon the subject of alternative fuels. Read up some of their postings and you may change your as yet uninformed opinion as well as saving a good amount of money.
Agree with Tom and certainly no offence Pinkandnok.
Its great to hear what other members have been up to - no matter how weird and strange they may sound initially. It's also fun.
From some experience with diesel fuel mixtures (miss spent youth). Any animal, vegetable or minerals products-- liquids and solids--(pre heated), that readily mix with the base product will run a diesel engine, once up to operating temperature.
Not to say - efficiently, and with no consideration to the levels of exhaust emission.

This gets more bizarre by the minute. Someone else will probably know better, but I seem to remember reading years ago about big industrial engines which ran on injected coal dust.
Whilst on the subject of weirdness,a question for Anders.
whilst on holiday in Luxembourg this year I was drinking Belgian fruit beer with some Danes, who claimed that "Keeping up appearances" was the hot new comedy in Denmark this year!!!!
Are you all MAD????????
