[Vwdiesel] Diesel octane or why can you run a diesel engine

[SLATERSFB at aol.com]

Thanks, Hagar. I am honored.  :-)
I also have refused to pay $2000 American for a new pump. I have had several 
apart for repair with success. The pump in my daily driver was repired by me 
over a year ago & is still doing the right thing by me. I have just completely 
disassembled an old 107 and put it back together. I learned a lot.
As for modifying my understanding - I am always ready to learn. But whatever 
I learn must make sense to me. I accept very little on faith.
Something for you to consider: swirl chamber. Turbulance there is created by 
stuffing 400cc of air into a space the size of a bottle cap, through a hole 
the size of a pencil. This happens after intake vakve has closed.
At 600 rpm idle -  5 times per second.   Amazing.

Bob  can I hagar  interest you in joining the "PUMP GANG" ?   we are a group
who refused to accept --that the Pumps could not be done by  DIY  fanatics.

We say BULLSHIT  --it was made by MAN it can be fixed by MAN. (pun intended)

I was quoted 5000 dollars Canadian for a pump for my OLD  1982 1.6 L NA 
Rabbit 

that did it  --I joined the Pump Gang --- and driving by that station sign 
with the 
price`?   at 78 miles to a gallon imp ?  in a 4 door 1984 Rabbit  1.6 L turbo 
-------?
20 years old and purring like a kitten ?---reminds me of FLASHDANCE   I 
arrived.
I made it .   OK OK so I make it out more than it really is ---but the pride 
and joy is
showing ---it was a LOT of reading and experimenting.  To me ? it is like 
winning
a GOLD medal in the diesel olympics..

So BOB be prepared to modify your understanding of how things work  ----like
a lot of us.

PS :    Injection point and point of ignition  are NOT the same.    And 
Flashdance ?
I saw the Royal Ballet of Copenhagen  ---and I doubt that any of those dames 
could spin on
shoulderblades like that. ---And NO stealership can TUNE an old Rabbit to my 
satisfaction
NO how NO way.
