Fuel Prices

[Dean Lofthouse]

Dean youve brought me around to your way of thinking ... stop those people using those noisy gas guzzling chainsaws chopping down all those pretty trees that supply oxygen to the enviroment then they wont need to drive their big gas guzzling cars to the tree in the first place

 

Haha !! Cool beans Dave

I want a steam powerd chipper that burns its own chip and leaves the job with just a bucket of ash.

 

Just thought of a flaw with that idea. If you burn green woodchip it burns less efficiently so you production would be reduced. We are just about to start using bio-deisel in our chipper.

Might be a tad controversial here and get some peoples backs up but...

 

If people didn't expect too much, they would pay so much tax

 

They expect the roads to be salted, even the little culdesacs

 

They expect the pavements to be salted or they sue

 

They sue if a paving flag sits up more than a few millimeters

 

My local NHS paid out £5m in compensation in the last year to something like 90 cases with another 100 and odd case still outstanding

 

People moan and whinge to local councils like there's no tomorrow. I bet a huge chunk of the councils budget goes on satisfying the whingers.

 

Another huge chunk of their budget will go on backside covering to prevent claims.

 

A huge chunk of the governments budget goes on spongers who would rather claim benefit because they are "better off on benefit" and would have to take a drop in income to be employed. How arrogant and selfish is that !!

 

I reckon 50% of the uk population either want a kick up the backside or taking to the vets and putting down, that way it would relieve the burden on the rest of us

 

Most of em are probably on benefits because the price of fuel has made em redundant,,!!!! at £1.30+ per ltre they wont be the last.....mock not!

This time next year it will be over £2/liter.

 

No mocking here.

you could heat up the woodchip and extract the gas for powering the engine, then burn the (now dry) woodchip as fuel to heat the next fresh chip, very simple and very little waste:thumbup: see the woodgas thread for links

Does anybody buy white diesel in bulk? Like you might do with red...

 

Any saving to be had?

Cant remember the litreage price but cost me £84 to fill the landy up the other day which is a days work and seeing as there are'nt many days work about with the weather and one thing and another and I still have to do an 18 mile round trip to the yard at least once a day as I have animals up there that need feeding etc it's causing some grief

the guys that i know who used to do that stopped about 5 years ago because they would only get 30 days credit and it was cheaper in Tescos and a tescos card gave you 50 days credit
