Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / 4x4 Cars (Australian group) / December 2005Are there any outlets for biodiesel in brisbane yet
I know i have asked this question before, but im still on the lookout for a source of cheap fuel. Fig By the time the govt taxes it, guess which fuel will be cheaper :(((((( Cheers Jim >I know i have asked this question before, but im still on the lookout for > a source of cheap fuel. > > Fig >I know i have asked this question before, but im still on the lookout for > a source of cheap fuel. > > Fig One at Brendale somewhere that tells me alot Fig > One at Brendale somewhere > that tells me alot > > Fig > >> One at Brendale somewhere Better than nothing, it's all I got, I can take it back if you don't want it. A mate put some in his Izuki there, it smelt of fish & chips but went ok :) I have a mate in Bundaberg who brews his own with great success. I don't know that he is producing enough to sell to anyone though. He says his bio-diesel is costing him about 45cpl. Garry Thanks Garry i think i spoke to you once before about this. Yes im a slackarse and havn done anything about it but i realy want to. The costs of petro-diesel is killing me in the cruiser with the miles i do. Oh, not to mention the bloody cost of the sh.t at the pump. Grrrrrrrrrr! Fig >I have a mate in Bundaberg who brews his own with great success.

Seriously though, while the price sounds good he has to put a stack of work in to brew it up. He always tells me that if I want to buy the Methanol and get the oil, that I can use his equipment. But the effort required to mix, weigh, mix, test, mix, blend, mix, separate etc etc etc seems a lot of work for such a small saving. I have often offered to buy it off him for double what it cost's him to make it, but he would rather I make my own. Best regards Garry Oh ok, Cheers Garry Fig >> Thanks Garry i think i spoke to you once before about this. >> Yes im a slackarse and havn done anything about it but i realy want to.

Unfortunately not fully available for cars yet. Mind you dont think that it can replace diesel. >>I know i have asked this question before, but im still on the lookout for >> a source of cheap fuel. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Its called CNG, cheapest available. Unfortunately not fully available for > cars yet. Mind you dont think that it can replace diesel. CNG has been available for cars in Sydney for at least 10 years. >>>I know i have asked this question before, but im still on the lookout for >>> a source of cheap fuel. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > CNG has been available for cars in Sydney for at least 10 years. I wouldnt know Im in Brisbane. Id love to run my vanon CNG, cheap as chips and clean as. If I could get it freely Id do it. > >>>I know i have asked this question before, but im still on the lookout for > >>> a source of cheap fuel. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > I wouldnt know Im in Brisbane. Id love to run my vanon CNG, cheap as chips > and clean as. If I could get it freely Id do it. I know of at least one CNG outlet in Brisbane the servo on Logan Rd Buranda where all the Taxis fill up(used to be a Solo), Taxi company had an office behind the servo it was a Govt regulation that if you had a CNG refueling point for your fleet you had to make it accessable to the public Diesels can run quite happily on CNG and Cummins and a few other engine manufacturers offer a CNG engine for trucks, they are just modified diesels the biggest problem is fuel storage, unlike LPG, CNG is not liquid but just compressed gas so the tanks are take up more room, and for long range tanks they normally use 3-4 tanks instead of one big one and of course there is the problem of finding more than one refueling site Kev >> >>>I know i have asked this question before, but im still on the lookout >> >>>for [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > Kev I used a twin tank set up. Had a small (30litre) tank made up for the petrol and the room gained from the petrol resize made room for a large CNG tank. Do you happen to know what $$$ it is per KG? When in NZ it cost me $8 to fill up an empty tank and could drive around the 250Kms with it. im talkin about biodiesel ya toss > Its called CNG, cheapest available. Unfortunately not fully available for > cars yet. Mind you dont think that it can replace diesel. as far as I know you cannot buy it at the pump yet but a new plant is about to open at narangba and should be selling it in next 12 months I would not use it though as it made my air con play up caused me a flat tyre and is way to hard to make at home but sometimes I,m full of S%$^T tax office also don,t like it so anyone making home brew dieso will not give out to much info try svo and biodiesel forum to get info on making it gary in india now not brissie > im talkin about biodiesel ya toss > >> Its called CNG, cheapest available.
