Drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury death among children ages 1 – 14. Wearing a life jacket saves lives. Washington State law requires children ages 12 and younger to wear a Coast Guard approved life jacket or life vest on vessels shorter than 19 feet, and there must be a life jacket on board for each person older than 12.
NW Biodiesel Network is hosting its first annual Biodiesel Car Show & Education Forum from 12-3 p.m. Saturday at the Phinney Neighborhood Center, 6532 Phinney Ave. N., in the lower parking lot. It will focus on mechanical issues.
Ever wonder what cars can run biodiesel? Will the 2011 cars work with biodiesel? Do you need to make modifications? Can you get a diesel smart car? A small truck? Do you need to do anything special to your car in the winter? Can you buy an old Mercedes diesel and run biodiesel in it?
The NW Biodiesel Network is pleased to present “Dr. Dan” Dan Freeman of Dr. Dan’s Biodiesel, and Peter Ellison of Bug-Aid – European Auto Repair And Engineering .
Dan is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced biodiesel-friendly mechanics in the area, and is a frequent participant and contributor at NW Biodiesel Network Education Forums.
Peter of Bug-Aid is well known to many diesel users in the Seattle area, and we look forward to Peter’s insights.
