First tank of WINGAS - the engine digs it

Finally got some bio made from wvo in the tank. Boy, does the engine like this stuff. The engine had some pre-ignition issues with D2, cured by conditioning the fuel with PS Cetane boost, which slowed the car down a freckle, but cured the pinging.

Biodiesel must have a wonderfuilly high cetane rating. The motor is as quiet as can be, except for the bad prechamber? which is more noticable than ever against a "quiet stage".

Also found leaks in the exhaust, as the biod fumes were somehow leaking into the cabin. Guess the D2 fumes were too, but I liked them and didnt really notice! Biod from wvo doesnt smell as nice to me.

At one point I said I wouldnt run the stuff in the car. BAH HUMBUG.

The car digs it. Now, my only issue is how to start brewing it, as I cant rely on my "secret friend" to provide free samples for ever.

At least for now, the WINGAS vanity plates are accurate.

Feels good riding around on non-Arab oil. REALLY good. The only thing that would feel better is riding around on fuel made from the tallow of jihadist corpses. thats an AIRRBORNE angel kiddies...
