Hagar,
You know what's funny, below is the clip I've saved in my own personal 
archive since you wrote it::

/So what was the missing information in  the Bentley and the archives ????. 
/The pump pressure that's what.  I had to use "stealth" and downright 
bullshit
/to get hold of the numbers.  Proprietary info and the like you all know that 
one.

/But how did I a newbie discover that --- that was a problem ?  It has to do 
with 
/getting rid of some cases of time expired aviation oil sitting in the shed.
/I had the bright idea that if I mixed it in with fuel , it would lubricate 
injection system
/and stretch mileage. It is a NIL ash oil  no SASH.

/So one fine day I decide to see how much I could add without problems.   WOW
/what a day.  So I added a couple of quarts of  Esso  AD-120 to 20 litres of 
diesel.
/What happened next would have to be experienced .   After putting the fuel 
in tank
/I had to go for a trip to Lund. When I got out to lower rope at highway I 
noticed that
/the engine sounded completely different from the day before. A deep throaty 
mellow
/sound ---no marbles on a plate nothing. Next thing the long hill just before 
Lund---
/NO smoke and it flew up that hill in high gear. I always had to gear down at 
that hill
/in the past and it would lay down a detroyerworthy smoke-screen.

/I have in mind old VW 's  -- so there.

/Stay tuned it may be continued.

/Hagar.  


I think I was paying attention old buddy!  What I've been doing lately is 
running about a quart and a half of Canola to a tankful, starts and runs better 
and noticably smoother  but unfortunately no appreciable gains in mileage, 
maybe just a tiny smidgin.  It is comforting knowing that with the additional 
lubricity, the engine should last longer as well.    Doug Ferguson
