Re: Biodiesel/Bioethanol section?

I don't think it warrants its own section - yes there have been threads on it but we're talking about only a small number of threads over a fairly large timescale - no where near enough to lump them in their own section IMO.

Short sighted... the fuel prices wont ever be coming down, and the requests for Biofuel use will increase. I really thought this Forum was a leader not a follower...

Re: Biodiesel/Bioethanol section?

there are a couple of sections in the forum that have less than 70 threads in them so it wouldnt be the smallest section of the forum

It would also be very likely that it would grow with time especially with the current fuel situation and increases e.t.c more and more people will be likely to turn to biofuels

No I'm not. If people were looking for info on biofuels, looking at FF would be low on their list of sites to visit, unless they were FF members already. There are plenty of websites out there concentrating on biofuels. It is these sorts of websites that will get those most knowledgable on the subject involved - not a biofuels section on a car forum.

Therefore a biofuels section on FF could never hope to compete with a bespoke site on biofuels. I think the saying I'm trying to relate all of this to is 'jack of all trades, master at none'?
