Adrian Hollister: The Downgrading RAF Welford Security

Thanks for the comment 'Simo'. I note that you wrote the article from the US Air Forces base at RAF Fairford (another one of the controversial American occupation bases in the UK). I will confirm with the base's PR team if this is an official statement or just yet another 'american empire' statement from one of the brain washed. Yea yea we get it - you rule the world (do you? your world seems awfully fragile to me).

I note with interest that my own personal home, family and community security and well being is, according to you, none of my concern. Utter madness.

Would you mind if I put a British base in the middle of America - next to your home? I wonder what I could get up to if I had a base there. I wonder if I had enough of them - would you notice your country being occupied?

I wonder also if I had enough of them if I could influence the politics of your country, the economy of your country, the stability of your country, and I wonder if I could commit acts that you would then be associated with.

I do wonder. The question in my mind is - do you?

The key word in the above paragraph is "seems". I have absolutely no doubt that the world "seems" a very bad place to a paranoid civilian white feather like yourself. You are obviously somewhat short on even the most basic understanding of current affairs, and to top it all off, you fill your spare time taking in worthless gossip about things that you have no idea about, let alone even remotely concern you. My advice? Get another hobby, and leave real life to the grown ups.

thebigseagull: Turn the Lights Off at Night Newbury

I totally agree all street lights and office, etc. should be turned off at 2am at the latest, apart from wasting power have you ever had the chance to look at the night sky without any light pollution?

I know there is what people believe a risk that certain people in the uk will take advantage of this but they will also have to carry touches and will be seen when breaking into a building, as for the personal risk to women and being mugged by these idiots that live out thier if we work together this can be beaten!!!

Ok I agree with you but removing the stair carpet. Perhaps carpets would be a better description though. The first layer came up to review that the underlay (so I thought) was in fact chocolate brown carpet. Hmmm nice. Chocolate brown carpet covered in dog hairs.

I run my mitzi Pajero all year at 25%+ svo. Runs fine thru winter, with no mods or heater, Mebbe the used veg oil you are using causes a problem. Ive heard that on the net. Mine is on new clean rapeseed or soya.
Im looking at a twin tank with heater as the fuel goes up. Contact me.

Good and bad. I've had to use straight diesel for the coldest weeks, with only 2-4% veggie oil in. I'm getting quite a bit of white smoke on start up as one of my glow plugs has worn past it's useful life. I don't think this is anything to do with the veggie oil as they are old plugs.

The unit does not heat up the veggie oil already in the pump or injectors, so it's not instantaneous de-gelled veggie oil (which would be ideal). I'm eyeing up an induction type system, but they are darn expensive - I wonder if I could make my own.

What mix of veggie oil and diesel are you using? I'm running 50/50 at the moment due to the lower temperature, but I've not tried running with a higher veggie oil mix or tried the veggie oil/petrol blend.

I have just done the same - I've bought a 17 year old rangie which has been converted from a 4ltr petrol to a 300tdi - which after a little modification will run quite happily on old chip fat. Marvellous!
