Hi Henry At the risk of jinxing things, I may have a diesel vehicle in the household next week. I could use some "hand holding". Would you be willing? I think ...
Chances are those old hoses will eventually wear out. It will probably take a while.. My experience was that it didn't matter, and if you start leaking...
The advice I hear most often is to just run with it untill the hoses look compromised, then replace them with either Viton hoses or hoses intended for...
Hi All, I was just thinking... would this work to help eliminate/reduce the need to heat the fuel... biodiesel is a good solvent, right? So you shouldn't have...
Hi Folks, A friend of a friend is looking to convert their Diesel Suburban. If anyone is interested in participating (I think they're looking for someone who's...
Hi Bill, Sure, I'm interested in sharing what I know, which is pretty much what you described already. My experience is with a Vanagon 1.6L diesel, and I did...
Craig Reece in Berkeley might be of help for SVO. Is he trying to convert it to Biodiesel or SVO? For Biodiesel, the standard things will apply depending on...
Hello all. Just wanted to introduce myself to you all. My wife and I live in Mountain view and we are in the planning stages of ordering a 2004 Ford 350...

Hi All, I'm considering one of these... a '77. I've heard these are dogs, but the unit in question is already converted for WVO, so I'm *very* tempted. Any...
I have a friend that has one. They don't go up hill, OK they do but most of us can walk about that fast. kk On Wed, 29 Oct 2003 21:09:54 -0800, Bill Michel...
Hi Folks, It has been suggested to me that injector coking is more likely with turbodiesels than with engines without turbos... does anyone know whether this...
Bill: This is probably a non-issue for several reasons: 1. turbo allows you to do a hotter italian tuneup 2. biodiesel usage will clean your engine, so the...
The Mercedez-Benz 240D is almost exactly the same car as the 300D, except for the engine... well, sometimes the transmission too. the 240D is available with a...
Never heard of that problem. If it exists, it must be a rare situation, probably due to a mis timed or poorly adjusted injection pump more than the fact that ...
Hi All, I'm new to the group.. I am a Palo Alto resident with a 1979 mercedes 300SD in mid-SVO conversion and a brand new 03 TDI VW on B100. Anyway, I saw...
