Stuck pig. In Tucker's defense, that route required a locker. He ran out of time Thursday night and couldn't get it installed. Mark did have a locker and made it easy.

Mark is SOA on 35's. Big difference.

 

[arcteryx]

yes, that helps too but I thought he had a locker as well.

 

[mpetersrx7]

Actually for that section it was the shorter wheel base that made the difference. Yes I have a locker

I would have slid over if my DS rear had traction, you guys had to pick out the bummer pics instead of the fun ones ....

I know, sorry. I was only there for 5 hours Friday and that's the wheeling we did. But hey, we got to test @77mustard40 8274!! I would love to have seen the ones near the pond, that's a fun trail.

Algae grows in diesel? That must be some bad-a$$ algae...

I'm thinking WVO..waste vegetable oil mixture.

Those sliders seem to be getting a workout. I like them, functional and they look good.

Sorry in advance, I'm a biologist....

Nope. Algae is photosynthetic and by definition needs light to reproduce. Certain bacteria can live at the water-diesel interface, form colonies, break off, and clog lines/filters etc. "Milky" diesel, commonly mistaken to have algae in it, has usually been sitting for a while and wax is starting to form.

That said, when I need to clean out the fuel system on my IDI truck, I ask the auto parts guy for some "algae" killer

It's commonly referred to as "algae" but is actually bacteria and fungus which sulfur used to keep from growing in diesel, the newer low sulfur diesel allow it to flourish if you let it sit. You should treat your diesel with a biocide if you don't drive it regularly, diesel degrades much faster than gasoline (90% of diesel is burned 18-24 days after refining).

Maybe we can develop a line of bacteria and fungus which will increase output? If they could eat CO2 and then oxygenate the fuel. And then "age" the diesel to perfection. GMO Diesel! People will go nuts...
