I am only looking at 13l/min at 150Bar, and with a 240 litre wheelie bin and a hose, should be OK. Or start drawing off from the 800m3 capacity crystal-clear pond! Anyway, looks like a choice between the Loncin or the GX, since the GP is probably built in the same factory as the Loncin! P.S. I was tickled to see the use of Chonda as in "the usual Chonda engine" to describe the multiple brands of Honda clone engines coming out of China. Cheers all mth

Looking at flowjet.co.uk which offers a choice of Loncin, GP Honda, or GX Honda. But What are the differences between the GP & GX Honda engines? Or Why do they offer a choice of GP/GX with the same performance and with only nominally £50.00 difference in cost? mth

Well, no, the MX20 engined lawnmowers were operated by a pair of brothers who cycled to work, and were particularily particular about these 2 (Victa I think it was) lawnmowers, all they got was blades, and while the engines were untouched, the hard plastic treaded wheels were worn absolutly smooth. cheers mth "particularily particular", like when digging the graves they wore wellingtons, but when they returned topside, the wellie boots were taken off and a clean pair of boots put on to walk across "their" grass or the bitmac paths.

Assuming run on the correct oil, correctly mixed etc etc. Pure curiosity on my part. Actually I just recalling, as I typed, the Suzuki MX20 2 stroke engined lawnmowers from near 30 year ago, which lasted several heavily used seasons in our Cemetery.

This is better than a lot of the "Moab" rock crawlers in the US.

Oops!

Ah, but, I understand the MOT blokes look for the full display of warning lights when the ignition is switched on, before starting the vehicle, and then check they extinguish after starting. Or they should.

Well as wor Vicky so eloquently said, Yes, but no, but yes but no, but YES!. So the fault code reader computer thinngy, still says it is STILL the sensor that has already been replaced. On scouring various fora? it appears the best solution is to remove the DPF, but surely the van cannot get through MOT Emissions with particulates present?
-
The daughters boyfriends 4 year old Vivaro van with the 1.6 diesel, has been throwing a fault code, he changed the faulty sensor(the differential pressure sensor for the DPF) for a new one, then took it to the local electronic guru for an electronic talking too and then drove it at the proscribed speeds/revs/duration. And Still getting the same fault code. On a brand new sensor.

Well I measured a scrap of firewood at 9.5%,(multiple deep probes, some were 9.6, but more 9.5's) then weighed it a few times on small digital kitchen scales and consistent at 31g, I gave it a few mins in the microwave(zero steam), then spent hours and hours toasting on top of the stove, I cannot get it below 28g, and mostly giving 29g, but I picked the lower figure to use. The scrap is only about 10mm thick by say 40mm wide, so I figgered it should be dry by now so 3/31= 9.67% compared to my 9.5%(and sometimes 9.6%) with the moisture meter. So near enough.(depending on the underlying accuracy of the scales) I went back out to my log pile in the shed and a few random samples were 13.5 to 15% max. I cannot explain this,(perhaps my shed is situated on ley lines or sommat black-magical) but those are my figures. Cheers Marcus

? Measure it or weight it . . .

Baptismal Font?

O.K. I shall pop a small piece of wood in the oven the next time the wife has it on, and leave it overnight in the decaying heat. Cheers mth Though I suspect the alogrithm may "break down" as one aproaches 0.00% moisture content.
-
Which I included the 8.5% for the "toasty" sticks below the fire, being aware that my bought-off-ebay "CEM DT-129" moisture meter could well be mis-reading, a little. It also gives 99.8%/99.9% when tested in wet water. Can you suggest any easy way to calibrate it?
-
Snowing like a bitch here in Nth Co Antrim just now.
-
Well I tested a few conifer logs at random from my open fronted and draughty shed just now, 13.5% to 15% (and it was snowing outside when I tested them) Compared to the selection that have been toasting below the stove for a few weeks, most of which are giving a very consistent 8.5%. Cheers mth

I would contend that one of the key benefits of the "billet bundle" system, despite a little more handling, is their outstanding suitability for air drying. With the bottom row set on rails, very little ground contact and good airflow even at the ground, plus stacked 4 or 5 high(I dont imagine more than 5 high would be stable or safe) even better exposure to airflow, and easy to both cover and secure a cover over, and even if left uncovered, simply "write off" the top row, if they happen to be surface wet, restacking them 4 /5 high again, and the 3/4 rows beneath will be dry regardless. As in, even with the exposure to wind driven rain, the wind soon removes any moisture due to the rain. And if they are lifted after a few good days of blowy sunshine, despite any previous rainfall they will be shockingly dry. Marcus

Automatic all the way, especially for towing.

Not an honary mention for the humble stump grinder AKA the very expensive to repair fiber optic cable finder/gas main detector etc etc

Lord God! Somebody else noticed!

The daughters boyfriend brought me back a rather nice Buck knife from the States. I also got a "found" Mercator as above. But both knives are lock-blades, and I understood it was illegal to carry any lockblade in the UK. Unless specifically work related. By that I mean I always carry a penknife in my hip pocket, a tidy aluminium scaled Swiss Army "Officer" model I think it is. So would I "get away" with the lock-blade if stopped by a zelous PSNI Officier when out and about? Marcus

Where does the fear come in Stephen? and to quote a Golfer; "the more I practise, the luckier I get" So that only leaves skill.

But since most rivers are most constrained by towns and cities at their costal outfalls, and such development has walled and constricted the channels, which essentially cannot be changed to improve the flow, any improvements(like dredging to improve flows) upstream MUST cause insoluable problems downstream. So the flooding pain must be shared along the length of the river, not merely moved ever downstream, where there are ever-more houses.
-
There used to be water meadows alongside the rivers, in the flatter areas, these are now filled with houses. Not hard to see why these areas "flood" is it?
