[Vwdiesel] Oil when the frost is on the Pumpkin ?

[H.Hagar]

Chuck and ALL   I am a very patient type and for the lesser blessed and the beginners
I give freely of my time and experience. ---  If at times I am wrong about something ?
ok I have to learn too --- and an OLD dog can learn new tricks.

My take on lubrication is very much in agreement with a lot of members   -----so here
is my take on lubricating an old Rabbit if you have to even think about the cost.

Paraffin crude makes good lubes and good fuels. -----ask any Petroleum engineer.

I have a test engine -- 1.5 L NA sitting in front --and one day I wanted to see how good a 
fuel  AD-100  really was ---it is rated NIL ash. It was fantastic ---(50SAE) as fuel ?
NO WAY ?   wrong it worked.

When you decide to use it to trouble shoot pump cut it with diesel say 5 diesel to 1 lube.
I used kerosene the first time.

Now for the syn ?  --it is designed NOT to evaporate  and NOT to oxidize  the very
qualities of good diesel.

So when someone said he was "BURNING" a pile of oil in an old NA Rabbit I advised him to
use good heavy paraffin DINO.  How do you know if the lube if from paraffin crude ?
You have to look it up in spec sheets that you can get for free from the refiners.

Did I try to burn synthetics ? yes.         We had an environmental disaster up here --because some
inventive entrepreneur  decided that a good way to destroy old syn oil was to feed it to a diesel.

Syn specialty oils it was ---   Pyronol --Askarel ---and the like.    They did not burn --
and they were spread all over the landscape.    The syn oils I know about do not
bio degrade the way DINO does.

As explained the oil is used first as lube and then as fuel --now if that is not cost
effective ?   what is.

This is based on first hand experience.


Hagar.

PS: a good fuel must oxidize easily and evaporate fast when heated.----PARAFFIN:
All the syn I checked are high ash.   (SASH).
