IMHO
I have for years fully enjoyed reading and learning from people like windstuff ed , Norm,zubbly, cmmanda and the like.
Until this year I kept off the posts, mainly because I could hold a candle to the amount of kowledge these people have. Even then when questions that related to home-based fuel production began creeping onto the board I kept off.
My reasons a many fold, but will say that most of them are the worries that a person that reads the how-tos and was under age could take them and make "illegal Alky" that would at the very least get someone in trouble, and if they followed my practices of making it legal to the FEDS and decided to "try it" anyway and DIE from the poisons.
I would be in favor of a small closely watched post area in the home-brewed section, heck I even made a small funny about that if the Alky of bio-diesel where used on fuel based gennys then it truely would be home-brewed elec.
However, as it has already been said, I don't own this forum and if adding the fuel section has even the slightest chance of getting this board into trouble I would be the first to pull/edit every post that I put up about this subject.
At this point I trust people like Nothin to lose and Phil as I have read some of their posts and they seem to have enough common sense not to drink the deadly stuff.

I will go one further though, if the goodguys do add the extra section I would be willing to HELP moderate that section and that it be about fuels not transportation.

Fuels can be used for whatever you like, windmills can be tested using these alternative fueled vehicles, but there are so many types of engines now that one thing may not work for the other.
Fuel, however can be just that fuel, cook with it, pour it in your tank, BBQ with it, heat you house with it.

Admin: Again sorry for the long posts at $2.50/gal and oil now at $70/barrel.

Bruce:

very good point and perhaps this will satisfy my needs quite well.

i like your idea of narrowing the scope to home brewed fuels, then leave it up to each to use as they see fit.
