Hi Fred,
Happy New Year to you from Boston. This site sure has grown over the years and 2006 promises to be a very interesting one, particularly with ULSD coming online (finally!). My best wishes to you and your fine efforts here.
Question/Suggestion:
Do you think perhaps it is time to add a Grease Car section to this place? It seems to me that the whole topic of using biofuels is expanding in the media and as a side-effect it's being reflected in the choices that our membership is making (i.e. we're seeing more greasers post).
Certainly there is the question of whether creating this section tacitly promotes/recommends doing such a thing. I'm not sure what your position on this is. I think a lot of TDI owners/club members - many with very credible technical backgrounds - would agree that it's probably NOT a good idea to use a TDI engine in this manner. But as long as this is clearly stated up front, it would at least provide a place to dicuss how to do the conversion properly and offer more focused discussion on the subject, especially the associated technical issues that crop up, etc. If this site is about sharing hard knowledge, it seems a worthwhile effort.
This would also help to reduce confusion in the biodiesel section between the two systems, since they really are two seperate worlds.
What do you think? Time for (yet another) new section to be added to this site in '06?
Best regards,
