http://www.originart.eu/features/smithy/ws.html probably your best bet... (bruce wilcox) I'm assuming you're looking for tuskars and rippers

it's hardly a splash in the ocean compared to what has been wasted over the years....good to see it coming ahead at last!

it used to be here http://www.shetlandseaangling.co.uk/ but as has been said it's down atm (or at least I can't access it )

^they've actually been paying for old cars and ferrous for some time SP. The Northern Constabulary website? unfortunately the Shetland RSS feed isn't working so you'd need to trawl through, but it was there on Friday. yup, they poped along me one day when I was filling a skip and told me the same thing. Also a neighbour had some people from south enquiring about scrap, whilst one enquired the other scouted round and took a load of copper he had stored and paid a lot less than he'd have got locally!

Emulsification is when it's mixed with water (you generally need an emulsifier to do this with oils)and you have to use a reagent to split the water from the oils, otherwise it will be suspended in the oil. I think that's what you meant? Diesel has bacteria in it anyway and when stored for long periods this bacteria leaves a sediment in the tank(at best) or turns the whole tank to jelly (at worst) which blocks injectors, filters etc and can be expensive to fix if undetected. I'm sure there's a few boat owners on here that'll put you right SP. btw, we haven't used "TAR" on roads in a very long time, that black stuff used today is called bitumen. and to emulsify it with water acid and soap is added to help mix the water with the oil. anyhoo we're all digressing from the topic at hand methinks.

no! as has been said already, diesel has bugs in. Thats why it can't be stored too long...Google Diesel bug. Petrol does loose volatiles which makes it less combustible over time. However that problem is easy solved, just add a splash of fresh fuel and carry on as normal. Any engine that's stored for a few months or whatever should be run periodically to keep everything running fine and oils where they should be, it's not just about the fuel.

my generator has been sitting with fuel in it for about 5 or 6 years. I had to start it this weekend and it didn't want to run so I figured the fuel must be a little weak. I added about a cup of fresh petrol to the tank and drained the bowl under the carb and it started first pull... All diesel has bugs in apparently GS. this is why you wouldn't want to leave tank full of diesel fuel for too long. It's bacteria that can either turn your diesel fuel to jelly or leave the bottom of the tank(or fuel lines I'd guess) full of filter clogging crap. best advice DaveH is to run the genny periodically anyway, you don't want to find yourself needing it and it not starting....[/url]

Cunjo skips are usualy dropped off before nine Dave, from what I've noticed. Then they're generally full before lunchtime as you'll be aware... The only way I've managed to dump stuff in one of da local skips was when I noticed the truck dropping it off and by the time I'd filled a small trailer and traveled the half mile to where it was there'd already been a tractor dump a trailer full in!

I've seen the results from Stronachs and it made a 53plate Audi look like a new car. Haven't used them myself yet so can't comment on price.

Stronachs do it...number in da book

mind and use street view and you'll see how easy a walk it is just drag the wee man to the road

don't know specifically for rag worm up here but there's plenty of Lug worm about.... Pool of Virkie is always full of casts, Sellaness is a good one too. Just depends where mite be closest to you. best bet is to make for the shore at low ebb and have a lookee for casts.

more than half the cost of a litre of fuel is taxes....not just the oil industry!

you don't have to have a grey harled blob of an eyesore just because you're building with block... http://www.source4me.co.uk/store/Render-Plaster/External-Render-Stucco/Fibres-Dyes-Sealants/Concrete-Render-Mortar-Dyes-with-White-Cement/prod_179.html?PHPSESSID=4f3e057ee6288910428f4fa7497c679f colour your mortars! nor does your Harl have to be boring either, there's a wide variety of materials you can harl with! http://www.specialistaggregates.com/harling-pebble-dashing-individual-packs-c-197_198.html how many wooden houses are there left from the seventies up here?

you can get leather cleaner from Harry's. It's like a cream and don't smell much...we use it fior cleaning/conditioning the sofa. think it's something like this stuff IIRC http://www.choiceful.com/disprod.php?pId=2823
