Still remember the diesels on Hindenburg , just a hint to let you all know=
that I have been around diesels for some time. Knows little about Rabbit =
diesels , thats why I am here.
Like to get in on the discussion relating to the fellows on the east coas=
t of the continent. Someone is using Gasoline 1 gallon to 8 dieselfuel ?-.=
I do remember gasoline being suggested by Mercedes and VW --- but then i=
t was Inline injection pumps. Not these delicate rotary delights.
Remember Cetane and Octane are opposites. We need lots of Cetane not Octane=
. So diluting with LOW octane product makes sense. Here are some I wou=
ld use in a pinch, Kerosene Campfuel "Naphtha" some oils do not gel if =
frozen ---try sample in freezer---I did. Use to be nice to Injectors an=
d pump.Beats me how those absolutely clear oils never froze. Granted gasoli=
ne is handy. Jetfuels are easy to find ---winterblend. Again they are low=
octane . I do not know a lot about 2 cycle lube in this connection. =
Would never use it in summertime. Notice the word Nitro in cetane improver=
s=2E
signing off let me suggest you use starting spraybombs wit lots of caution=
these are LIGHT duty diesels.--- Coleman sportsstove under oilpan works =
too for speeding up crankspeed. Hagar.
May you all get started I am here in the banabelt on the pacific.
