Does anyone know of a Kerosene bowser at a Petrol Stn in Western Syd?

I have a shitload of kero at my place if you want some.

I could drop it around in exchange for some suspension pointers :)

I don't know of any specifically, but try any of the old Ampol servos if you
have any of them around you.

The BP on the corner of Castlereagh Road and Coreen Ave, Penrith used to
have a kero bowser, but it has been some time since I was in the area. I
might be worth giving them a call.

I guess I'm a little naive with this kero thing, I guess you are mixing it
with your fuel to increase it's octane, and your get up and go. (I couldn't
be bothered Googling it!) :-)

Cheers,

Drew.

I hope that's a joke ..... (am I responding to something too obvious??)

Kero is the best degreaser known to man. Bow down to Kero and use it in all
it's might! I love the stuff, however I always seem to kick the friggin jar
I store it in for easy access ... one day I'll put a lid on it or something.
Meh.

Gonna put it in my parts washer

Saves the $50 / 4 Litres for the proper stuff

Yerp. Would work a treat for that. Although I think the parts washer stuff
is a little more subtle and the solids tends to fall out of the solution a
little better (ie, it's bit more watery based). Still a bit of a clean on
the bottom of the tank now and then should have you sorted.

I've always used the following mix for a degreaser.....

20 parts Kero
20 parts water
1 part truck-wash concentrate

(Making sure that the truck-wash is safe for alluminium, plastic, etc etc).

I find it works a treat, although it needs a stir before you use it to keep
it all nicely mixed.

I usually wash everything off with (depending on the componant) either
straight petrol, kero, or metho once I'm finished so as not to get any suds
into the engine.

Wouldn't know about that. Don't have one. (Yet.) Still have to wash parts
the old fashion way.

(What exactly is a parts-washer anyway? - I'm getting visions of a cross
between a dish-washer, a car-wash, and a washing machine.)

Hey Cam,

I thought of the cleaning use, but didn't think of the price and volume. I
have heard of ppl putting kero in fuel years ago in NZ.

Just got back from a fuel run, and I found that the servo at the bottom of
Scenic hill, on Chifley Road at Lithgow, has a Kero bowser.

Cheers,

Drew.

Caltex in Riverstone has a bulk kero sign out the front and IIRC have seen
the pump there before

there is also an old BP Greystanes road ? that might have it

When I was a kid, it was less than half the price of petrol at the
bowser. And every servo had a kero bowser.

way back when bikes ran on kero I bet

only those new fangled machines needed that expensive modern petrol stuff

I like it!
(I'd love to find a suitable 3cyl diesel to graft onto a cruiser
motorcycle!)

Google says
"bake ton the roots" - a key word of the today's time. While generally
modern "Retro Design" is to remind of the good old times, the CENTAURUS of
851 drivers its own way goes. This urige motorcycle is built, as it
customary years ago was: Freely of bits and Bites, steel instead of
plastics is the foreign exchange. Robustness goes before Design, here
really follows the form the function. With the CENTAURUS no empty promise.
19 tariff large drahtspeichenraeder in the traditional chassis provides not
only for classical beauty, but for perfectly clean straight line discharge.
Virtues, which are used on long routes. Routes, with which not Top speed,
but the benefit of the landscape through-traveled counts. A benefit, which
is not clouded by high operating cost: The CENTAURUS is propelled by an
extremely economical diesel engine. During earlier Diesels were beaconed
Motorroeder by schwachbruestigen, loud and strongly vibrating stationary
engines, the CENTAURUS of a modern, particularly engine developed for the
requirements of the motorcycle are propelled. The two-cylinder engine with
180 degrees of shifted stroke taps carries 14.5 KW out (19,5PS) at a number
of revolutions of straight times 3600/min. Which is enough despite the
nominal rather small achievement for good road performances. A PLD makes
direkteinspritzung, which provides possible for a considerable torque of
40,5nm with only 2400 U/min. Sufficiently for a speed of 125 km/h. With
an average consumption of straight times 2.5 Litern/100km the 14.5 litres
tank for approximately 600 kilometers hands. But not enough the savings
joy: the CENTAURUS 851 is content with mineral and Oekosteuerfreien
pollution free bio Diesel. If the CENTAURUS driver liked to out-cost the
range of its vehicle fully, no problem: the classical seating position
provides in connection with that comfortable tourenlenker for a
fatigue-free travel. Tank-trace make usually the others. If the ways
become worse, the good chassis with hydraulically absorbed telegabel (150mm
spring travel) and the several times adjustable rear suspension struts puts
(130mm stroke) also rough impacts sovereign away. Because the CENTAURUS
was designed for journeys off the driven out ways. Journeys instead of
race read the foreign exchange. CENTAURUS drivers experience the world
with all senses. The CENTAURUS does not only please the driver. The
classical optics pulls all to view inevitably on itself, the full clay/tone
of the Diesel enthusiastically simply everyone. Not the service-station
attendant."

And don't we all want a "perfectly clean straight line discharge"?!
