Lister CS 5/1 ~ 1943 running on biodiesel. Soon to be hooked up to an ST 5kW generator to power the biodiesel rig. Longer term, she'll be the heart of a CHP system, helping to power the house.
No the daily planet story said more hydrocarbons from reg diesel a 10% increase in nitrogen oxide .Biodiesel from veg oil is way safer than reg diesel and I don,t believe the nitrogen increase but if you pay enough money you can get anything on paper you want like ,clean coal. Utube TVAcoal ash spill.
Most accidents are caused by the thumb NOT wrapped around the handle! This engine will not 'kick'but if you don't have hold of the handle properly when it fires you will end up with it in the face!
@jack9102 He's not an environmentalist then.

Not if you are careful and have the shaft greased and the pawl on the starting handle greased.

The rocker cover is intended to keep rain off the rockers, and not needed indoors. (unless your roof leaks)
