What kind of fuel am I?

Post by M. R. Bober »

When I can obtain soy diesel, I use it at 5-10% (by volume) with either marina or service station fuel. The transom soot is dramatically reduced as is the smell of the bus.

The engine mechanic, who did not know about the mix, liked the sound of the old Universal.

Mitch,

I see no references to World War II apparel in your post.

Please stay on topic, or I will have to report you to the webmaster.
