			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As gas is getting more costly every day, those of you with a long commute or a heap of driving miles may feel the weight of ever growing gas expenses.</p>
<p>As luck would have it it’s easy to lower your gas bill and beneath i list seven strategies that are easy to employ and doesn’t require you to invest cash in a new car or snake oil add-on kits.</p>
<p><strong>1. Maintain proper tire pressure</strong></p>
<p>Driving with beneath inflated tires is not only dangerous as the tires could overheat, it similarly uses more gas than driving with properly inflated tires.</p>
<p>Inflate your tires leastways to the greatest or most complete or best possible permitted by the car’s instruction manual, and check the pressure leastways once a month using a dependable pressure gauge.</p>
<p>A heap of hypermilers inflate their tires more than that, to the greatest or most complete or best possible pressure printed on the sidewalls of the tires themselves. This may be as much as 60 percent more than the vehicle producers recommendation and results in further and added fuel savings because of the lower rolling resistance of a hard tire.<br />
The downside is a harder and less comfortable ride. And i can’t even recommend you to do this, even if it’s safe, as there’s a possibility of uneven tire wear in a heap of conditions.</p>
<p><strong>2. Remove ski boxes, trailers and roof racks</strong></p>
<p>If you thought it’s overmuch of a hassle to get rid of the roof rack or ski box when it’s not needed or to unhook the trailer, think again!</p>
<p>Anything that you stick to the outside of the car will spoil the aerodynamics of the car and with that your fuel economy. At all times remove roof racks, bicycle holders, ski boxes and trailers when not needed and use a truck bed cover to heighten the aerodynamics of your pick-up truck.</p>
<p><strong>3. Turn off the a/c</strong></p>
<p>Even if a heap of argue that the air conditioning unit doesn’t affect fuel economy, it genuinely consumes lots of energy. That energy is taken directly from your tank and from your fuel economy. Turn it off when you can and if that is too unacceptable set it to a higher temperature as that will make it use less gas.</p>
<p><strong>Tips: park the car in the shadow,</strong> have the doors open for a minute before leaving, drive at night if going for a longer trip in hot weather.<br />

</div><br />
Keep in mind that driving at top speed with all windows open is not at all good for your mpg than turning on the a/c, thence use the air condition rather than opening windows.</p>
<p><strong>4. Better your driving style</strong></p>
<p>Your driving style is one of the largest factors affecting your fuel economy. Keep your top speed beneath 60mph or 100km/h, avoid breaking by letting the car roll to a stop when you’re not in the way for other traffic and don’t push the pedal to the metal when accelerating.</p>
<p><strong>5. Walk</strong></p>
<p>Often if you’re not going that far, walking or biking is many more economic than taking the car. You’ll save a heap of fuel and you’ll similarly avoid the other maintanance costs associated with driving.</p>
<p><strong>6. Mend your fuel leaks</strong></p>
<p>certainly if you have a fuel leakage you will spill and waste your hard earned gas on the cause costing you cash and polluting the environment. Mend all fuel leaks without delay.</p>
<p><strong>Tip: if the gas cap is broken or missing a heap of gas </strong>will evaporate through the missing or broken cap and escape into the air. This is particularly unfeigned in hot climates and when parking in the sun. The loss may be sizable and the gas vapors will hurt the envirnment.</p>
<p><strong>7. Find a car pool</strong></p>
<p>Sharing a car on your each day commute may be a fair amount of hassle equated to going alone but you’ll save more gas and cash than from using any of the other tips accept for genuinely walking or biking.</p>
<p>Joining with just one other individual to utilize the same car for your commute will save you half your monthly commuting cost.</p>
<p><strong>Further and added gas saving tips</strong></p>
<p>Those tips are the most easygoing, most readily available, low cost ways you may save lots of fuel. A no widgets needed gas saving bag of tricks.</p>
<p>There are a heap of further and added ways to improve your gas mileage. You may get a more fuel effective vehicle (hybrid, diesel, smaller car), make adjustments to your driving style, improve your cars aerodynamics, use tires with a low rolling resistance, plan your trips, adjust for ultimate weather conditions and many more that this article is too short to cover.</p>
<p>There’s similarly a heap of ways to not save gas, like installing one of those fuel saving widgets advertised everywhere. They ordinarily cost a lot but give scarcely measurable improvements in mpg.</p>
<p>To keep track of your actual gas mileage you may use a handy online gas mileage calculator or you may use the fuel consumption display that’s included in a heap of new cars or an aftermarket fuel consumption display that may be installed in most newer cars.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Home Biodiesel processors are very easy to assemble.</p>
<p>Assembling the drum</p>
<ol>
<li>Cut half of the top of the steel drum. Better if you can find a drum which does not have the top anymore.</li>
<li>Prepare a hole for pipe attachment at the bottom of the drum. Do this by drilling a one and a half inch hole</li>
<li>Weld the pipe into the hole that you just drilled</li>
<li>Attach a brass ball valve which will serve as the drain control. Brass ball are more durable and are recommended for home made biodiesel processors.</li>
<li>Fit the heater element onto a hole that you&#8217;ll drill on the side of the drum. Heater elements can be purchased from your local hardware or be recycled from your old water heater</li>
<li> Wire the heater element properly</li>
</ol>
<p>Chemical Mixer</p>
<ol>
<li>Fasten one pulley to the mixer</li>
<li>Assemble the other pulley to the spindle of the motor</li>
<li>Weld the propellers to the end of the steel rod</li>
<li>Attach the mixer to the hinge so you can move it whenever required</li>
<li>Weld the mixer assembly on the top of the drum using angled iron as support</li>
<li>Attach one side of the hinge to the angle iron to set the mixer in the middle of the drum</li>
<li>Tightly fit the belt to the pulleys by placing a block of wood into the hinge. The mixing capability is essential to Biodiesel processor to obtain good quality fuel.</li>
<li>Attach a measuring stick made of wood to know the quantity of the Biodiesel being produced</li>
</ol>
<p>Here are some more pointers:<span id="more-16"></span></p>

<p><strong>Biodiesel processors are just like big blenders. The rotors will mix the raw Biodiesel.</strong></p>
<p>Biodiesel containers must be leak free. Instead of welding, industrial adhesives can be used to assemble Biodiesel processors. For portability, you can attach industrial<br />
so you&#8217;ll be able to move it from one place to another.</p>
<p>Remember the precautions to be observed during the production of Biodiesel. The process involves handling of hazardous chemicals before you can yield usable Biodiesel fuel.</p>
