    Wtf are you mumbling about, it's a government website.

    Are you sure that it's kerosene ?. It's usually yellow ish, but most heating oil is just red diesel, saves on the extra storage at the depots etc. I've not looked at the rules, but presumably if it was kerosene it wouldn't have any bio added?.

    Well that's 707k, so where do you draw the line ?.

    Wooah there cowboy, nobody ever said we wanted dishy back. And looking at your link that took 6 months to get to 900k. It's over 600k in about a day!.

    I get the moisture thing in marine and wet environments especially when the tanks can create condensation. The added paraffin in winterised diesel, makes it usable to something like -12 Vs -4 for summer. Always wondered if it helped to kill the bugs that can live in the veg oils added to modern diesel. As these diesel big killers are just an alcohol based additive from what I've seen on the msds.

    Dumb question, is it more of a problem with summer diesel compared to winter fuel that's usually got a bit of added paraffin to prevent gelling?

    Fire up the transit and the pole saw, we shall solve this like the knights of old!. Unless it's samurai style with silky ?.

    Flails don't leave a bad finish, but a little tickle with the grinder does help to make a better cut instead of blunt knives. People could argue the plus/negative of both, but they all rely on having a decent cutting surface for a good finish and a counter knife to almost liquidise it as it recirculates. I'm personally slowly moving back to rotary in agricultural and trying to graze it more. Flails are great for a quick bam and it's gone but then the grass grows again.

    So it was your number on the back of that loo door promising a good time!.

    Think that might be the case, are all the flail slots the same or is it just a repair ?. As you can see where the current flails have gouged two slots where it touches.

    Which wires are you trying to connect. As the left switch is missing a input on the middle above the blue. I assume the brown in and black out is a thermal fuse

    Jebus, this is getting very like the troubles. Anyone good at painting murals?

    You'll need a special lodge/mason's handshake and a special pattern sock to get into the APF at this rate.

    Are Y flails actually a factory option?. Most flails I've seen didn't have the shoulder in the slot, as that looks like it works like the back of a chair instead of folding back if it hit and obstruction. But they should always be tight in the slot, so right size bushing, spacers etc. So they don't slop around and gives a better level cut or vibrate around at 1000+ rpm.

    Think it's more they dry out, or however you wish to describe it. It plasticised so must be a reaction with oxygen. I've used veg oil on timber and it's becomes like a sticky clear chewing gum.
  19. GarethM
    If you're in the UK speak to flails direct.

    As per 5th, switch to a thinner oil of you feel it's a bit slow to pour, other than just using it without the spout. Not sure if eco/veg oils are any thinner than standard 30 chain oil tho. Stihl synth oil was always a bit like water in summer so presumably it's thinner than 30.

    You always quote, partly professional courtesy even if the quote makes even your local footballer gasp.

    Just make sure the flow rates are within the qd fitting abilities, as it can be 1/2 the bore especially on return flow.

    Carbon monoxide and creates a ton of moisture but are great at pumping out heat. 30+ Kw in a draughty barn makes working with your hands bearable. 15kw is around 1.5 litres and hour

    Could be one of the early ones with the worn crank shaft output, you end up with a wobble that binds when the clutch is spinning.
