  1. Its alkylate fuel....mate....., no different now to then and the last time I used it was about 12 months ago
  2. I tried alkylate fuel before you started in this job mate
  3. Citation please, or its just sales rhetoric.
  4. I have the hedra, its great on SRT but if you use it on DRT (yes I know you shouldn't) it hocks up a bit but nothing you cant live with. It started off a bit nubby but its smoothing off nicely now.
  5. That's not as relevant as you might think, the first thing is to establish the nature of the sub soil and the moisture content. Personally I think you have been taken in by the staged removal thing, its a myth, perpetrated by engineers who don't understand vegetation.
  6. More that that, the SE clay has to be near desiccation (due to the vegetation) when the property is built
  7. Call yourself a pedant?, that's pathetic. How can we take the word of this "stove expert" when he isn't aware that the Abbot isn't a tank at all, it is in fact a self propelled gun, an artillery piece You would think he would get his facts right.:laugh1:
  8. I se where you are coming from but I don't understand how you are getting bad fuel in the time frame. I use Stihl 2 stroke oil and we lost a combi can for 6 months, the fuel was still fine, in my experience it takes more than that for fuel to "go off" so what oil were you using?
  9. Holy mix oil Batman, what were you putting in to make it go off in 2 weeks????????????????
  10. Misleading title alert That's not the picture I was expecting:laugh1:
  11. No good relying on forward speed to get air over the rad then??
  12. Its a bit of a moot point, your options are run it wet, run it dry, (without making a bomb:001_huh:) or don't run it.
  13. Put it in the tyres:laugh1:
  14. I am going down to Kidderminster tomorrow and I can pick them up on the way back
  15. The first thing to establish is, is the timber is any better than firewood. I have seen plenty of walnut stems that are completely goosed either through decay or defects. Its also entirely possible that it has nails or worse in it, garden trees often do and that would reduce its value particularly at a sawmill. At best the timber is used for gun stocks, at the other end of the scale wood turners like it and take the smaller stuff. Any value is accrued when the timber is processed, which often means transporting it. Transport can take a bight out of any profit, mobile band mills can mill it on site but you need to get it next to the mill, chainsaw milling is slower and less economic but for a single tree with the potential for inclusions and bad access is probably the best option.
  16. Ha ha ha. You don't get a vote, its not a democracy. The client has a plan of action in mind the best we can do is offer advice and allow the client to make an informed choice.
  17. Its what the search button is for:laugh1:
  18. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/37913-private-plates.html
  19. So "your" ultimate arb truck is something that's as rare as hens teeth????
  20. That is such a big ask, pushing down with your right foot will never fail to put a smile on your face.
  21. You could get a Dodge ram but it might be a step backwards :laugh1: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/lounge/62935-dodge-ram-vs-land-rover-defender.html
  22. Forget all that cheap as chips stuff and go used HYDROVANE 15 COMPRESSOR - SINGLE PHASE - 2.2 HP | eBay Quiet, and it will blow your socks off
  23. I also fail to see the point of root pruning in cases like this, you leave the vast majority of the roots behind so pruning them is pointless:001_rolleyes:
  24. Don't do it Gordy
  25. The beetle is interested in the cambial area of the timber, usually Ash, if your house has any of that in it best get busy with the insecticide.
