Hi Ian, I'm in the middle of night shifts so have limited time to read this board. But I'm glad urea... 8-). Things are getting better all the time for this company. The virtual radio silence speaks volumes to me and all in a good way. Have a great weekend, I'm off to work. Don't let the grumps get you down and keep up the asides... Ha ha.
Tiddlor, Hi, just back from the socially distanced Coffey with in-laws, the strength of the sun today, wow, sweated buckets.
Just seen your post, I had to laugh, I don't think many picked up on it, very droll young sir.
With the new NED appointment of Iain Rawlinson, the quality of the company management is now exemplary, add a bit of Green Metals/Lybrion to the mix and the final directional outcome is anyone's guess but definitely defines a company fully capable of going places, with flanks and a signed deal the sky is the limit, the next few months are going to be exceedingly interesting as we all try to join the dots with any snippets of information we are drip-fed by the company from Twitter, everything to play for now and I feel we have just changed up a gear with my expectation on what this little 24-year-old company can actually achieve, from little acorns big Oak trees grow, seriously, getting very excited now and can't wait for some clues to materialise. All options are going for gold, sorry, Palladium haha, bring it on...
Going out to cut the grass before I succumb to that other cool beer that keeps calling me from in the fridge.
Enjoy the weekend one and all.
Added to the list is Carlito22 - 29/06/20, good luck
Good morning Victor you little ray of sunshine.
So who is moaning now ? Stick to the share and the facts.
Morning young sir, exactly, but much more purified :-)
Enjoy the sun Tiddlor, off round the in-laws for the weekend socially distanced coffee, take care.
32.5% urea? You're taking the pee now Ian!!
Thanks for that.. excellent

Ethanol is hygroscopic and absorbs water vapor out of the air which is why it is best to always keep your petrol tank as full as you can to minimise the available air space that could contain water vapor and adversely affect the fuel, Ethanol, and Petrol will mix, but ethanol, petrol, and water will not, the ethanol-water mixture will come out of solution and settle on the bottom of your fuel tan, add some oxygen to the mix, and you get rust. However, the more common side effect of this is more immediate when you try to start the car the fuel pump will draw the water from the bottom of the tank into the engine and that does not help to start the engine at all!
Ethanol also rots rubber fuel pipes and the actual metal itself that some old carburetor float chambers are made of, so that included most vintage and up to the year of 2002 car engines, aircraft are banned from using any ethanol in their fuel.
How long does modern E5 or 10 Petrol last before it starts to go off and stale, good question, not long is the answer, first the ethanol content can fall out of the mix and concentrate at the bottom of the tank if the car is not driven regularly to agitate the fuel mix, small lawnmower type engines can suffer major carburetor corrosion if the fuel is left in the tank over time,
Generally speaking, E petrol has a shelf-life of six months if stored in a fully filled sealed container at 20 degrees, or just three months if kept at 30 degrees, if there is more air than petrol and not in a fully sealed container such as in a lawnmower fuel tank it can be as short as 30 days before it goes off. It did use to last much longer, but not now.

If you have a small engine fitted garden tool or a vintage motorbike, emergency generator, wouldn't it be great if it could be filled with fuel that did not go off, deteriorate, absorb moisture and be better for the human environment?
Well, let me introduce you to the professional's answer, It can be stored for years on end, is a 99% cleaner fuel than petrol,
does not smell like petrol with no harmful Benzine aromatics. it is alkylate petrol sold in the Uk by Aspen fuels a division of Anglo American Oil Co. Ltd. Aspen4 is normal fuel, Aspen2 is ready mixed for your chainsaw, strimmer.
I have personally used this product in my standby Honda generator and for the fact it last years and causes no fuel system damage is just the answer for something that is used infrequently but when you need it to start and go does work the first time.

Sorry if the post annoys but it is the weekend and followed on from yesterday.
Enjoy the sun

Morning, AstonDB9,
Yes, you are correct, to comply with Euro 6 regulations, many new diesel-powered cars built since 2006 use SCR technology to inject tiny quantities of AdBlue (which is a 32.5% solution of pure urea in demineralised water) into the car’s exhaust system gases. When this solution combines with exhaust emissions, it breaks down the harmful mono-nitrogen oxides in diesel exhaust. This technology has been used in buses and heavy lorries for a long time, so its effectiveness has been proven and its reliability is very good, provided you remember to top it up :-)
The Diesel engine is a very efficient engine, much better than the traditional Petrol I.C.E. The unforeseen problem is when you try and clean up particulates and Nox with catalysts you inevitably produce more of the global warming gas Co2, so because of this engine designers have drifted to the idea of the Direct Injection Petrol engine where the Petrol injector is fitted directly into the cylinder head and not the inlet manifold as had previously been the case, so the NEW petrol engine now resembles for all intense and purpose a Diesel compression ignition engine albeit with a lower compression ratio and a normal spark plug to initiate the combustion. Great idea and reduced Co2, but unfortunately this new engine has been found to produce minute 'Nano' particulates that are much more harmful to humans.
Engine manufactures came up with the EGR ( Exhaust Gas Recirculation ) valve, which enables an engine to consume (eat) a percentage of its own exhaust (effluvium )to try and clean up its emissions, If we as humans tried that trick it would do us no good at all, and surprise, surprise, it does the engine no good at all either by clogging up the inlet manifold and the valve its self, so something else to go wrong and land the vehicle owner another garage bill to sort out.
All of the I.C.E. engines run on normally either Petrol or Diesel (leaving out LPG)
Fuel is not what it was, Diesel could be stored virtually indefinitely, my self I had a 10-liter emergency fuel can that I carried in the boot for over 22 years never having the need to use it, on checking its contents they were as good as the day it was filled, I mean whats 22 years added to several million in the ground. Modern Diesel has a percentage of Biodiesel added to make it perceived to be more green, yeah, right, in doing that along with removing the Sulphur content any recent Diesel fuel now attracts the growth of pond life algae at the intermediate layer between any water in the tank and the fuel itself and is a major cause of fuel filter blockages especially if you are a boat owner.
Petrol, ok, bet you did know this, regular modern petrol can contain up to 350 different components, it is not what it used to be either, it now has a percentage of added Ethanol again to make it perceived to be more green,
Continued in next post-
Don't forget AdBlue Ian; Retrofitting older diesel vehicles with systems that reduce NOx exhaust emissions is a viable solution to today’s air pollution challenge, with some options reducing emissions by up to 70%.
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems are seen as an efficient technology necessary to achieving emission standards. They work by adding ammonia – either in the form of AdBlue®, a liquid NOx reducing agent, or directly as a gas, using cartridges – to the exhaust gases. This then reacts in a catalytic converter with the nitrogen oxides coming from the diesel engine to release harmless nitrogen and water vapour at the tailpipe
