Chipping a Diesel

[sp0rk]

That servo is a fair way north of Grafton by about 40k...Its actually at McLean......but anyways..

Is that the one at Gulmarrad, or the one in town at Maclean?

As far as distance in comparison to the size of Australia, just north is accurate in my books, especially to people who are not familiar with Australia's little scottish community.

Whats so Scottish about it? Sure they paint tartans in the poles, but buggered if I can fins a decent haggis or kilt outlet.

Even further off topic. Check out diesel/LPG substitution.
It's the only performance mod where the government pays you $1000 to do it.
I haven't done it but as an Engineer it got my interest.

I went cheaper still and blanked off my EGR.
Exhaust Gas Recycling puts exhaust 'air' back into engine air intake, it's employed by newer Euro diesels and is sort of like breathing your own farts.

Actually gas injection does work...lowers particulate matter or some thing like that.

And adds some big power from what I've heard.

LPG works on diesels as Diesel engines are very inefficient as far as wastage out of the engine once burnt, adding LPG to the diesel engine ignites better and burns that wasted diesel.
U basically have a more efficient engine and get more power you started with, But there is 2 different ways to go about it, you wind the diesel pump back, to get back to the power figures you started with, but with the LPG on top (better fuel mileage), or you keep it and have the same fuel consumption, but a lil more power.

I'd go for the better fuel mileage.

erect a clock

Bah..ha..ha..

It's over an hour's round trip. I'm not that patient.


To be honest, access to more cheap grog is probably the last thing Yamba needs.

What they need is a good diesel chipping service.

I go to Dans in Grafton every Thursday with the boss for our weekend grog run, I don't know if anyone's noticed, but deer lord the megaswill beers are getting cheaper and cheaper, in comparison to months/years previous. I'm not saying I buy these mentioned, but these were the prices last week, adding competition to the 'fancy' beers in store I suppose.

New tinnies $37.99
Coopers Mild $30.99
XXXX Gold Tinnies 30.99
VB Stubbies $31.99

I paid $46 - $48 for New and VB tinnies all last Summer (Best for camping, can fit 60 tinnies in my Engel fridge )
