I was trying to figure out why the Chinese came and got him, then I figured it out.

"...but this will typically knacker the engine in short order."

Knacker. What a great little word. I will try to use that today...

“The explosion would most probably have been caused initially by alcohol fumes building up in the garage...”

“Hold my Scotch... Watch this!”

I think in this case, it means to wear out. IOW, it will quickly bring the engine to End of Life.

"Drilling" for biodiesel can be hazardous. Anyone using an electric drill to mix oil and methoxide is asking for disaster.

I know, I refine my own and run as high as B100 or as little as 100% petrodiesel, according to my ability to process the crud oil. I try to make it a policy NEVER to start any electrical device when the methanol or meth and NaOH are open and my home-built processor is the closed "Appleseed" that mixes in a closed loop recirc pump.

I'm gonna brew up another batch tonight.
