  1. I'm no chemist, but anything that acts as a solvent will breakdown the molecule chain probably also making it more dangerous and able to be set alight. So yes, it will run in a diesel engine but more flammable from the vapour. Winterised diesel uses a lower oil fraction that's a higher boiling point. But the water thing is more of a problem as bio content is more hygroscopic
  2. Never, ever add petrol to diesel, as it breaks up the long chain molecules and evaporates. If I've spilt diesel, hydraulic oil etc on the workshop floor I mop it up and then wipe the floor with a rag soaked in a little petrol it's that corrosive and drys. Kerosene is all you need if you've enough, whilst the official additive is a mix mostly of heavy non evaporating petrol 70c+. https://www.tincknellfuels.com/pdf/DieselAntiWaxMSDS.pdf
  3. Add about 10% kerosene
  4. Egg box stuff was banned as it was a huge fire hazard, old cheap internal doors in the 60s used that. The shape thing was also about making the sound bounce at an angle between the gaps like it was going down a corridor. What about that eco wood insulation stuff ?.
  5. Ah yeah, think Ian McCollum talked about it a while back and Jonathan Ferguson. Isn't that the book with a good section on the beginnings of Accuracy International?. It started in a shed, is supposedly a great read.
  6. You been watching bloke on the range ?
  7. It's the touchy feely bs of people like nick clegg, bob Eiger and others that have f'd the world with their lefty fake tolerance all whilst filling their boots/waders to overflow.
  8. That wasn't cryptic, that bastion of liberal shitealot nonsense nick clegg has left Facebook.
  9. Whilst those Manchester airport brothers are from the neighbouring council, it would actually help restore confidence and accountability in GMP.
  10. Well, seeing that it involves the CPS and undoubtedly sir teflon and kier, plus the police forces and local councils. Any inquiry should be done by the government for obvious reasons of full independence and accountability.
  11. A vague definition of made, the sticker might be.
  12. I have HMR & LR with an empty slot for 556, but in all honesty 90% of the time I use the FAC 22 air rifle. Dirt cheap, quiet, bloody accurate to 80m and almost identical to the standard air rifle if noticed by walkers. I'd never say I don't need the bigger stuff, had wanted to get more into foxes but earning a living and farming doesn't leave much time for sleep or foxing.
  13. On the plus side nick clegg has left facebore. Sadly it probably means he'll be on the lookout for another meaningless job title over here.
  14. Erm, I think we can safely say labour have long since outshined even the conservatives in the depths of depravity if the recent Jess Phillips saga is to be believed.
  15. I did leave it for @Johnsond, those sorts of distances are a bit outside my acres. I actually checked two of my longest fields together maxed at 600yards to the barbwire 🙂.
