Be Prepared: DIY Survival Kits

The PAGASA has been getting a lot of flack for not making a timely and accurate forecast for Typhoon Frank.  But I've been monitoring the typhoon through www.maybagyo.com and the site has a compilation of the forecasted tracks made by the different weather agencies in Japan, USA, Hongkong, Taiwan, Beijing, etc.  At first the majority of forecasts showed Frank would hit Metro Manila, then the next forecast showed it missing Metro Manila.  I think only one agency made the correct forecast for Frank by sticking with the Metro Manila route.  (I had forgotten which agency it was, sorry).

Biodiesel Chemrez Bioactiv and Fuel Efficiency

BioActiv

is a fuel enhancer from Chemrez that can be used on any diesel engine. It is made from a renewable resource having similar carbon chain structure as high quality petroleum diesel. Low grade diesel fuel sold in certain countries that does not burn well can be very substantially enhanced by a blend of BioActiv to burn better and reduce harmful emissions.

Actual Test 

The experiment was confined within the following parameters: One 2.2 Crdi Hyundai Santa Fe with approximately 70 liters fuel tank capacity, one canister of Bioactiv measuring 500ml, and one full tank's worth of diesel from Shell, allegedly complying with the 1% Biodiesel requirement.
