For those of you who haven't seen the postings at any of the three
sites (TDG, PSN, or TDS) there will be a little get together in the
Greenville/Spartanburg area on Saturday, August 18th from around 3pm
until ?

Plans are for an informal photo shoot, hang out, maybe go grab a bite
to eat, and onefastgranny (from Fayetteville, NC) wants to go make a
little trouble with the local ricers & mustang boys.

Please let me know if anyone's interested.

Details only available via private e-mail.

I live in Goose Creek. Anyway, not a whole lot of us use the mailing
list any more. We have our own club section over at the
www.thedieselgarage.com that most tend to post in now.

I have long been a Ford and a diesel fan.  I was glad to see a group
here. Anyone live in the Lowcountry, SC? This is my first diesel and I
love it!

Bill with Automotive Specialists has announced a date for the 2nd
annual Diesels in Greenville event - October 6th in Mauldin.

Last year was a great time and Bill is planning on having David Dunbar
back with the dyno again.

More information to follow!

Hi guys,

I'm not normally a member here (I drive an IDI not a PSD) but found
you guys searching 'diesel south carolina'. I"m coming to the Upstate
to teach a class on making biodiesel next weekend. SOrry about the
short notice, I didn't know about this group.
Mark
*****************************

Biodiesel Homebrewing Class and Biodiesel Equipment Build Class
Central, SC (near Clemson)
November 18- biodiesel homebrewing chemistry basics
November 19- biodiesel equipment building
$60 per class, no one turned away for lack of funds
www.girlmark.com/tour

10-4 each day,
225 Broad street, Central SC 29630  - meeting hall of Scout Troop 278

Learn to make your own high-quality biodiesel fuel, and build the
equipment to do so at home

Maria 'Mark' Alovert from www.localb100.com and
www.biodieselcommunity.org is coming to upstate South Carolina to
teach two biodiesel classes- a one-day biodiesel homebrewing/chemistry
class on November 18, and a one-day equipment intensive on November
19th which allows you to build equipment to take home (optional). You
can attend one or both classes. Both classes are hands-on and will
cover a lot of theory on biodiesel chemistry, quality control,
materials compatibility, and equipment design. You can attend the
equipment class whether you're building equipment to take home, or
simply coming to watch and help the others.

In the homebrew class, we'll cover the basic process, the chemistry of
quality control and testing, discuss ethanol-based biodiesel (our
workshop host, Kurt Nolte, works with it regularly), and give you some
hands-on time to practice the techniques. If you stay for the second
day's equipment class, there'll be optional lab time on that day also
to continue your Saturday experiments if you wish. If you have already
experimented with making biodiesel, we'll cover a lot of
troubleshooting and problem-repairing techniques.

In the equipment class, we'll build processors, wash tanks, methanol
recovery condensors, and wash bubblers, and we will discuss heat
exchangers, methanol recovery, safety (from an equipment perspective),
materials compatibility, pumps, secondary containment, larger system
suggestions, and more safety.

The processors/reactors that we're building are a variation on the
open-source processor from
www.biodieselcommunity.org/appleseedprocessor and the wash tank is
similar to this one
http://www.biodieselcommunity.org/standpipewashtank/ . You can build a
system to take home if you purchase the parts and bring an electric
water heater to use as the reactor tank, and/or a 55-gallon
closed-head barrel to use as a wash tank..

  To buy equipment parts for this class, email me at
classregistration@... by mid-day on Friday the 17th and tell
me that you want parts (you'll also need to bring the tanks yourself),
and we'll work out the payment (either Paypal or "settling up at the
door" depending on how many people I have to pick up parts for)-
they're about $250 for processor parts and $45 for wash tank parts,
and you also need to acquire an electric water heater (and also a
barrel if you're building a wash tank in the class). Methanol recovery
condensor parts are $45 for a 4' long copper tube-in-shell heat
exchanger that we'll solder up in the class.

For more info, email me at classregistration@..., or see
www.girlmark.com/tour. You can also just show up on the day of the
class and register 'at the door'.

Hey HAmmer, wher exactly is this meet? I would like to go if I can.
Thanks, Shane Ard

Hey all, new fella here from Georgetown Sc. In my first Diesel (02
Crew Cab Lariat 4x4) Igot the truck from an individual about 2 months
ago and it had never been towed or modded in anyway. I have since,
joined powerstroke diesel .org, Learned some things about the psd, and
have added the following : MBRP 4" turbo back exhaust with 5"tip,
Tymar intake, TS performance 6 position chip (stock,Hi idle,
50,75,100,140), and I watch it all on the quadzilla commander. I was
poking around and found you fellas and this carolina site. Cool. I am
tired of doing all my learning over the net. I want to meet some
people and learn in person. It will take me awhile to learn my way
around here cause im far from computer savvy!!LOL. Anyway, Ill stop
for now and look forward to getting to know some of you.

I have sent this as a special notice, that is why you recieved this if
you have selected the no-email option.


Performance Diesel and Rhino linings of Charleston is having David
Dunbar's mobile Dynojet dyno for a Dyno and shop day on Saturday
October, 21st.  Even though this is NOT a CarolinaPSD event, maybe we
can get a few to show up and hang out.  Read about it more here:

For those of you who may not have made plans already, this is just a
quick reminder of the Greenville dyno-day and general get-together.


Saturday, October 7th at Automotive Specialists in Mauldin, SC.
Officially starts at 10:00 and Dunbar hopes to pack up around 6
p.m.  I'm certain some of us will be hanging around even past that
time.

David Dunbar will be there with the dyno, sponsored by DP-Tuner w/ 3
runs for $30


DP-Tuner will be there with tuning goodies (please order prior to
Saturday if at all possible).


Food and beverages will be served - the grill will even have
stacks!!!  BBQ, Burgers, and Hotdogs on the grill.  Tea and Lemonade
available as well.  Please bring enough $$ to help cover the costs.

If you want other libations, please provide them yourself.

Kids are not shunned.  I'll have 1 or 2 of mine and there will be a
couple of others.

Lots of fun going on with the Palmetto Bio-Fuels rep there; some
folks bringing some spare parts, new unused parts, and slightly used
stuff; NAPA store will have a display.

We've determined that over 150 flyers have been passed out around
town regarding this event, so it could prove to be much bigger than
our online response indicates.

Look forward to seeing some of you there!

It's going to be great hangout day,

Just letting everybody know that CarolinaPSD now has it's own forum at
www.thedieselgarage.com .

I'm hoping that we can focus are conversations there and use the yahoo
groups email list for mostly special notifications.  Feel free to
still talk here if that is what you desire.  I figure we can grow our
fledgling organization more by having a forum where we can better
organize our threads and conversations.  My screen name will be
"thehammer69" over there.  I and Raymond, aka "plainredtruck", will be
the moderaters of the club forum.  Any questions, opinions, or
desires...just holler at one of us.

Thanks

Don "Hammer" Moody

Yes I have started to, have everything ready just need to get my truck
back together. I've posted some pics at Oilburners.net in the bio
fourm.  where are you at? you might want to find some good oil spots
first? make a good freind at a good fry spot and tell them you can get
rid of the used oil for them get a jug or two and test it for ffa's

me, hubby, son and dogs drove up to the Indy rally.  Had a blast!!!
Truck ran smooth pulling our trailer.  It was a 15+ hour drive, me and
hubby took turns driving.  Went by way of West Va. and only slowed to
about 60mph on the steepest hills.  Exhaust brake came in real handy on
the down sides!!  The race was great and I (about 30 of our trucks
total) was able to have my truck in the race before the start-up.  That
was fun. Maybe next year, if they plan another rally, some of you guys
might want to drive up too??  We had to leave here on Wed night, rally
was Thur - Sat night and we left for home Sun morning.  Now I can turn
my attention to some meets closer to home!!  Tina

Hey everybody!

I haven't had too much time to work on this, but I have been keeping
an eye on TDS and here. I haven't looked at thedieselgarage. I'll
have to check that site out.
If this location sounds like it would draw a crowd, then let me
know. I would need some feedback as to a date, and I can check with
the Dyno guys and work something out. Should we open it up to all
diesels, or just do PSD's?
I was also thinking about making it a "show and shine" type of event
too. We could drool over everyone's trucks, and swap tuning tips. I
know that I learned alot about my truck at SC's little GTG.
Also, I just purchased AutoEnginuity's scanning software, but have
alot of learning to do with it. Don, maybe you can come up with
an "AE guide for dummies".
Let me know guys when we want to do this, because I've never put
together something this big.
Michael
Anyone in Wilmington want to get together and help me plan? Hint,
Hint.....

Don,

 

Welcome.

 

Keep your eyes open for an announcement about a couple of get-togethers.  I know there's one in the works for Upstate SC and Michael was working on one out in Wilmington.

 

We're starting to get some interest stirred up and look forward to meeting soon.

 

Let us know if you need anything.

 

Raymon

Hi All

Well we are at it again for another Smokin'. Same place as before.

Link here at www.thedieselgarage.com or www.thedieselgarage.com

We hope to see our friends from the CarolinaPSD there.


Jody & Diane Tipton

Hello everyone.. Just wanted to let everyone know I have joined the
group.  I am a 7.3 PSD owner (2001) and am domiciled in Belmont, NC.
Ran across this site through dieselstop.com.  Looking forward to
chating with you guys/gals and maybe meeting some of you soon to talk
pwoerstrokes.

Later

Where is a good drive line shop and a good place to get tires around
the Charleston area?

I just saw the intrest in another get together, and would like to
throw in the city of Wilmington as another location, if there is any
intrest. FOMOGO had brought to my attention after the SC event, that I
had a Dyno-Jet dyno right here in my town! So since then, I've been
kicking around the idea of doing a Diesel Wars Dyno Day. Would that be
of any interest to anybody? The rates are $75.00 for three runs, or we
could just rent the dyno for $600.00, for the whole day. If that's not
everyone's cup of tea, then there is always the beach. You can drive
out on the north end of Carolina Beach for $10.00 a day. It's a very
popular place for those of us with 4 wheel drive.
I just thought I'd throw that out if anyone is interested. I'm up for
another get togther with everybody. I learned alot last time, thanks
to all you guys that answered my questions. My ride is really comming
together.

Thans,
Michael

For dates I'm starting to think early to mid Sept. I think a better
time would be earliy Oct. With my current schedule the Oct date would
give plenty of time for planning to make this a great event. I would
like to do this on a Sat, possibly as an all day event. Let me know
what you think.
