Re:Lister Engines on glycerin??

Hi Clive, Are you aware that the Glycerol is bad for your engine and will have
methanol and Caustic, either NaOH or KoH in it which are both also harmful to
your engine, we bio-diesel producers go to great lengths to ensure all are
removed from our fuel before we use it as it is so harmful.

Hi, I'd guess its glycerol, it's the waste product of bio-diesel production. I've since taken all the fuel lines off and drained it all out. Now that I know it...	clive493048	Oct 21, 2008 8:13 pm
