gardner engine bio fuel

[cdennis85]

Well, is it the 165bhp model or the 180bhp one? It's seems the same engine used in Daimler/Leyland Fleetline.

Hi ,that sounds great, and the barge is a beauty, love that old rivetted steelwork, dont see anything like that nowadays, i have an ex navy 24ft fibreglass hull (cheverton) it had a perkins 6235 which is nackered, i can get one of those 6xlb's outa a bus, but would it be too much for the boat? and what gearbox, prop and shaft do you think would suit? any advise greatly welcome, and good luck with your project, cheers, Danno

how fast would your barge do with the 6lxb engine?

[poweredbyflowers]

around 10-14 knotts depending on the finished weight of the boat

In the gardner handbook, it says u can use filtered waste engine oil as fuel!!!
