Hello guys, do you actually use special gloves when refueling (LPG)? If so, what for? Unfortunately, on Monday at the tap I cooled pretty much the middle finger of the right hand. For the first time I saw dead meat on my body; white-yellowish, painless and ice cold. Now I know how I will look later on the whole body. This finger seemed to be almost like a single fire bubble after that. The pain is still quite strong today. Unfortunately, because it was hissing and some gas overflowed, I forgot that my glove had a big hole at the bottom of the middle finger. Didn’t know, the LPG tank can be so dangerous. Unfortunately, my retrofitter has not delivered me the adapter to this day. I can then always fish out the wrong adapter at the tank. But can hardly be, since there are not many adapters here. For me, the LPG tank can be completely inexplicable, that despite all the safety devices, I can’t get the gas out of the tap. More than easy I can’t turn on it too, because I don’t have to do anything else.

Since the Ukraine crisis, I find that not only the fuel has become very expensive in general, but also that the ratio of the fuel varieties has fluctuated considerably in the meantime. Wipe Super E10 and Super are now fluctuating 4-6 cents, between Super and Super Plus fluctuating 8-12 cents. And Diesel fluctuates even more extreme, sometimes even 4 cents over Super Plus, then price equal with Super Plus, sometimes so somehow between Super and Super Plus, and sometimes even price equal with Super. What’s this about? In the past, at least the distance between Super and Super Plus was fixed at 8 cents. And the distance between Super E10 and Super and Diesel to petrol is only slightly fluctuated seasonally. But not every few days. And with electricity it is the same. That’s really bad for people and companies who want to buy vehicles. If in the one week Super E10 1,969 €/l * Diesel 1,989 €/l * Electricity 58.25 ct/kWh and two weeks later Super E10 1,849 €/l * Diesel 2.029 €/l * Electricity 2,029 €/l * 37.99 ckWh.

Hello together, hope this fits here in this forum, something stupid happened to me. In our small workshop I poured into the waste oil, which is normally picked up, unknowingly brake fluid. It was not much, about 100ml on 30litres of waste oil, but that apparently can no longer be given to the recycler. Now I have taken the 30L waste oil in canisters and of course I have to supply it to a disposal site. Can someone give me a tip where I can do this? Can I bring this to the recyclable farm? Have called there and it costs 3Euro per litre, but with regard to the contamination I could not be given information (should I ask locally – stupid). I also have the invoices of the purchased new oil, must the trade then take back that nevertheless, even if there is brake fluid in there? Many questions about a stupid error – thank you!

In various entries, for example, on Wikipedia to Muscle Cars or elsewhere, there is always the talk that many manufacturers in the 70s took away the compression in order to comply with exhaust gas values. Also, because of lead ban (first in the USA, later with us) the gasoline should have had at first less octane as before.http://motorlexikon.de/img.php4?fotos/gross/K/K208.jpg How was this handled with vehicles that needed the high octane number?

I have noticed that AdBlue in Switzerland costs only a fraction of that in the tank. In addition, the filling of the tank is completely clean (without splashes) and with automatic stop. Unfortunately, such tanks are thinly sewn. How do you fill up? At the tank or from the canister?

In the diesel discussion I came across some articles that say what is in the headline – namely that the 15 largest ships with their exhaust gases pollute the environment more than all cars in the world Is it not perverse to tear up the diesel so much in the air in this country while the problem exists with these ships? Especially since these ships have heavy fuel oil and by far not as good exhaust gas cleaning systems as road vehicles. Quite apart from that, you also transport the still so clean electric cars through the area… Here are 2 articles: [url= https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2009/apr/09/shipping-pollution]Link English, The Guardian[/url] [url= https://www.welt.de/…/…igste-Gewerbe-der-Welt-behret-auf-kurs.html]Link English, Die Welt[/url] What does it mean?

Hello, I have now read on the internet that this year 2018, respectively 2019 the diesel fuel here in Germany is to be increased considerably, and allegedly also to the price level of petrol should be raised. Is that actually true, or are all these bad rumors? If the diesel fuel is raised to petrol price level, then that is about € o.20 per litre, or in other words 20 cents…… Does anyone know if the price for fuel oil should be raised? Or does it remain the same? Is it interesting then, how the prices in the neighbouring countries like Poland and the Czech Republic will develop? In Poland and the Czech Republic, the diesel fuel now costs about as much as in Germany. But gasoline and diesel also cost about exactly the same in Poland and the Czech Republic, or have only a price difference of one or two cents per litre. One can observe today at the petrol stations in Poland and the Czech Republic, that many German cars are over to fuel, but that is also all cars with a petrol engine. German drivers who drive a diesel do not drive to the Czech Republic or Poland for fuel, since the prices for diesel are about the same in Germany and the Czech Republic.

Everyone knows that a drop of oil/petrol/diesel can contaminate so and so many hundreds of liters of water and cause damaging damage… Only why is that so and why can’t you ever see it? Everyone knows the images of oil-glued animals that are depleted. However, these are mere amounts of crude oil. What does a drop do? In spite of the oil change, a small swab is leaking in the ground – the grass grows and thrives, the vermin is crawling and flogging. I find nothing sufficiently objective on the Internet that can justify that a drop of oil is actually harmful. If the KFZler does not wash his hands, then every time oil gets to the dam that he eats. And that’s certainly more than a drop of oil in a career. Why is there this assertion, if one (apparently, perhaps I’m just too stupid) that there is nothing on the Internet about what exactly it does with which organisms it does? I don’t want to now take the oil companies for disasters and tanking gaps, but only understand what amounts of oil can be said.

Have you read here before, AGIP would only offer premium diesels – at the price of normal diesels. Ask me, do they have something to give away or is this just a PR gag? How can the consumer check this? On the homepage they write that there are more cleaning additives in it. Can you believe or not. At least here is also biodiesel in it, so write it themselves. As for the cet number, I have read (here: http://www.motor-talk.de/forum/aral-ultimate-diesel-t5663332.html ), that for example SHELL and ARAL Normal diesels have a higher cet number than this AGIP “Premium” Diesel. Does anyone have information?
