Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Regular diesel has a bio content of about 7%.
    Kerosene has 0% bio content

    But what about green diesel... what %bio is that.

    Same as road diesel I would imagine. It is the same stuff with green dye in it.

    Green diesel is different to road diesel
    Road diesel has a min of 51cetane
    Green diesel has 45cetane

    Green and white aren't the same

    Surely a potential for a rural Irish superhero here.
    A terrible workplace accident as he filled his straight piped Bora with green, he rose from the radioactive farmyard sludge reborn as Super Pigeon.

    We're all slightly radioactive anyway, the little bit in diesel the least of your problems.

    Not the best sources but:

    http://www.northernsound.ie/news/petrol-stretching-is-the-new-diesel-washing-says-cusack/

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=92672574&postcount=15

    As weird as it sounds, its true. Its a mild radioactive isotope and is impossible to remove.

    Probably not.
