    anyone using the bio-diesel pump in Strasburg, PA?

    They have closed that station, I don't know the reasoning, but I have one of their cards and they sent out a letter stating that the station was closed indefinitely. In order to get fuel there, you have to have one of their cards.

    MD State Inspection...

    I've never had a problem with inspectors out here in Harford county. The inspector that did mine even crossed out the catalytic converter section and wrote DIESEL in large letters there, lol.

    Prothe is a REAL piece of work. When I was looking for an AAZ head for my project I skimmed eBay for one. I saw one on there under one of his aliases and I asked where it was made, it had German writing on it. He relied Asia, why not just say China? Shady.:mad:

    Things I learned this weekend

    How restrictive is the stock MK4 muffler?

    I wish I did. My car spent the first 150,000 in New York city so I don't know how much full throttle it got. There was about 1cm of soot laying in the bottom. When I cut the exhaust and remounted it for side exit it hacked out a sootball that would make a big rig jealous, lol.

    RyanP's 02M 6 Speed Tranny Conversions for VW Golf Mk4 (A4)

    I got my 9mm 12 point at SEARS, it was the only place other than off the Snap On or Matco truck to get one. Most places only carry 6 point and you need a 12 for the clutch/flywheel.

    Fire @ Biodiesel Plant

    I called Soy Energy in Pa Thursday and their plant suffered the same fate, it was a total loss. They said they didn't know when they'd be back in production either.
