BIOJOE says:
8am till 5 PM
Food : TBD lunch item. Please bring any complimentary sides you'd like to share.
Biodiesel $2 per gallon on the b100 available with Biocide and antioxidant added. We call it the "BioPro" blend.
I'll spray Side lot for mosquitoes again this year.
There's a car lift inside the plant and plenty of room to work on cars on the concrete as well as in the shaded grass areas beside the plant.
Pop Up Tents and bag chairs are always welcome.
A/C inside and 2 bath rooms with changing room.
Gas station next door if you need extra drinks and snacks.
I will be giving several tours during the day. We have retooled the entire Biodiesel plant to add methanol recovery and have eliminated water washing to purify fuel and now purify via Centrifuge! We have added over 20,000 gallons of process tanks, covered work area and filtration, as well as a new waste oil boiler that uses anything from motor oil to veggie oil to heat the plant.
Please DO NOT bring any used motor oil!! COOKING OIL ONLY!!! $.50 off per gallon donated. We've had people bring 100's of gallons in the past and paid for others discounts per gallon on biodiesel.
BYOFC - Bring Your Own Fuel Cans or I'll have some used totes and car boys you can use for temporary transport for free if you want.
Email biojoe@midlandsBiofuels.com or call 803-718-4727 if u need anything."

All in! Looking for a tune on the bug(05 BEW) need the flashzilla tool I believe. Rear brake light needs to be addressed(keeps blowing bulbs) as well as the third brake light(doesn't work at all)

I'm in, I'll bring containers for BIO but have nothing to work on at the moment.

Sounds interesting. Any tuners committed?

Joe,

Thanks, its on the calendar. Good chance for AC pressure checking I bet.

Cowboy coffee coming up.

Gary

Joe, great to hear your having another GTG always enjoy it.

I hope I can make it, got some busy weekends coming up around that time.

Bump.

Check your calendars.

Pretty sure we'll be there... Probably drive down on Friday and get a room at Newberry... After breakfast, we'll drive over for a few hours!

Dsg

Will we be able to do DSG oil and filter changes? Passat TDI SE

Hopefully Terry will make it, my fresh TB needs pump timing check but its running darn good.

And looks great for the weather.

I think I'll be there. I am deciding if a condenser change is too big a job for the GTG.

I'm planning on being there this Saturday. Looking forward to it. And hope to grab some of that awesome bio!

To much propane

I live right next to Lawrenceville but won't be able to make it to the GTG.

I should be able to make it. Maybe I'll bring my new front wheel bearing and hub for a change out.

Don't forget about "THE BIG GRAB" yard sale this weekend when you come to the TDI GTG at our plant. If you have something to sell, bring it with you or if you or someone you know likes yard sales this is the mother of all yard sales 85 miles long and it comes right down main street. It will surely add a interesting dynamic to this years GTG.
