I just went to a seminar on diesel fuel put on by BG Products. It seems that bio diesel when used above 5% tends to attack the rubber fuel system parts. The engine will run fine on 100%, except you won't have as much power as petro diesel. They gave me a table of figures for specific gravity for fuel and how much percentage of power loss you can expect. The guy dumping motor oil in with the diesel is kind of like adding 104+ to gas. In order to make diesel cleaner, they've had to remove aeromatic hydrocarbons from it. Same with sulfur. In fact, they "wash" the fuel with water to remove sulfur. Then when they ship fuel through a pipeline, they send gasoline, diesel, kerosene, etc all through 1 pipeline. They use water to separate each product. It's no wonder diesel has entrained water in it that settles out in your fuel barrell over time. The guy adding oil to his diesel was adding power to it because oil is more dense meaning it has more btu's in it. Anybody remember marine #3 diesel? I'd never heard of it, but there were a few old Navy vets that did. That was good dense fuel that made good power.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
