All Activity

I suspect he's laughing at you every time he reads one of your spiteful attempts at brain activity.

How do you know what SP did/does as a job? And, why does it matter?

Its in all fuel, E5 and E10 to varying degrees. The ethanol is added by the refinery (allegedly at the last minute to avoid the ethanol messing up their systems or attracting water, oh the irony!) and each brand adds their own additives. It would be great if there was more testing and transparency in the UK. Finally its amazing that hydrocarbons retain their usefulness for millions of years underground and humans manage to refine it and add stuff that make it go stale after a few months!

Good access, plenty of space to turn around.

Here’s that oak. Septic system underneath and a power line/telephone cable, but no real issues tbh. Not tiny but not massive. Finished by 13.30 so a civilised day to start the week. a34a3fa2-f074-4970-b39a-9a0a60c8eb50.mov

This time you spend at work to be pissing around waffling shite on here lad on the taxpayers ticket 😞you should be ashamed. That anonymous public sector job you are so ashamed, afraid or embarrassed to let people know what you do must be a pretty slack old space to “ work” in.

I'm intending to print things that will make my job easier. Open to any ideas, if you think of something useful I ca try to print it. A lot of stuff has already been designed, along side plenty of useless tat. First up was a brightly coloured climbing wedge. I've got cheap beech wedges but I'm always loosing them being wood coloured. Climbing scrench. 13mm, 19mm, two hex bit slots for flat and torx. Cord hole for hanging, fuzzy texture for grip. Quite a bit smaller and hopefully less stabby than a metal scrench. I might alter design with some sliding caps over the hex bits as they are still a bit stabby. Theres a hedge trimmer sharpening jig I might print. Requires disassembling the blades however, and mine dont need it yet, hopefully wont for some time.

Key... Currently printing a chainsaw sharpening guide. I dont need one, but why not try it, might get in the way and annoy me, my angles are pretty good.

A cylindrical 4mm whetstone is then used, which is... Printed box to store the sharpener when its in car or on site.

Christ SP is that the best you can conjure up lad. Get back to work ffs, have you seen the problems with productivity in the public sector you giddy fool. Work don’t wonder 👍👍

That's a thing AHPP, a good idea to pay as you use it - a good example might be petrol taxes (and now electric vehicle pay per mile) to support the road networks through extra taxes that a pedestrian doesn't use. But... things like the armed forces you can't opt out, image "we're not going to invade apart from number 57 who haven't paid to be defended, we'll invade them" - the things for all of society that you cannot opt out of because it covers us all equally. There is also an efficiency in collecting the cash centrally rather than every service having a cash collection department.

Probably the same people who do the actual work will continue to except we won't be paying politicians and civil servants to middle-man. And people who don't want something won't be forced to pay for it. Can't be specific because I'm not an expert in any of those fields. But that's the joy of voluntary markets. Experts come forward and do it because they can make money at it.

Oooh, 'Leftard', does that make you a Rightard, and your attitude rightarded? Just wondering,

Sounds more like a lean start issue than a Husky thing. If they’ve sat that long the carb diaphragms can go crispy and the metering side won’t deliver enough fuel on first fire. That’s usually what scores them. I’ve seen Stihls do the same if they’re left parked up too long. A quick carb kit before starting would probably have saved them.

If you’re comfortable with graft and working outdoors you’ll fit in fine. Plenty of people come into arb in their 30s, and your farming background is a big plus, you’re already used to machinery, weather, early starts, and problem-solving on the fly. With 30/31 you should get some ground-based work pretty quickly, and adding 38/39 will open a lot more doors. Most firms are always short of reliable climbers or decent groundsmen who actually turn up and crack on. First aid + chipper ticket also help and don’t take long to do. South Oxon has loads of firms around so you shouldn’t struggle to get started. Wages vary but you won’t be on the bottom rung for long if you’ve got a good attitude.

Are these only added to E10? I had assumed it was the ethanol reacting with something else that was causing gum which didn't happen with straight unleaded.

I thought ethanol was the problem in both situations - attracting water but also softening and attacking "rubber" (or what we think of as rubber) flexible parts in carbs and fuel lines. The other junk additives (corrosion inhibitors, de-activators, and stabilizers) can settle in the carb as the rest of the fuel evaporates which causes gumminess and blockages. I'm really tempted to try and separate out ethanol one day to see how pure petrol performs and smells. there are lots of vidoes online about this.

One for you Taxes are at a record level, funding for the NHS, Benefits, Illegal immigration etc etc are all off the scale. Our armed forces are cut to the bone, do not try and imply that has anything to do with supposed not enough taxes. You are retired, go quietly and whilst doing that maybe think about our own young people not some bit of shite that broke into our country illegally.

biofuels absorb water. Biofuels such as Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) biodiesel and ethanol are hygroscopic, meaning they readily attract and hold moisture from the air. also with diesel it supports a bacteria ,commonly known as "diesel bug" that will multiply at an alarming rate until it renders the affected fuel system totally inoperative. there are chemical products available, "biocides" that can reduce and eradicate this bacteria.

Had it happen occasionally maybe, sometimes it shows twice at the same time too.

I don't think its the ethanol that attacks the rubber ( could be wrong ) but the other parts of the pump fuel , Ethanol is the bugger that attracts water as I understand it .
