This is mostly about Gavrik Petersons  -----1.6L NA Rabbit.

Yes I Hagar recommended to Gavrik that he try LM  Diesel Purge  ---"The strong medicine for
sick diesels".

I am a LOT more optimistic about his diesel --- than he is.
He will NOT have any problems in the long run. ----    I have seen it , I have listened to it
I had several rides in it ------- it is one hell of a nice totally rebuildt Engine. It belongs in the
 Harrods collection.

In a Rabbit like that, with his aggressive way of driving ----50 miles to the gallon US ?.
That to me is proof that it is working just fine.

Gavrik you are blessed  --- living that close to Loren -----and I am sure you can get Hexyl Nitrate in seattle.

Is it necessary to suspect FUEL ? ----YES.                ----- I have this little Kubota 4 banger  and it
ran like a top.  Then on a friday night  I ran out of fuel.   ----Saturday the only bulk plant open was Shell.
So I got some fuel  ----but when I started it it smoked and rattled so bad I figgured the
engine was in trouble. -----Then the smarts kicked in. I pumped the fuel out and borrowed som
ESSO fuel from a guy next door. ---BINGO  ----it was shitty fuel.   . And she still runs like a TOP
many years later. ----- That is why I wrote Diesel fuel 101 and Fuel 101.

Further you must check and make sure the Valve clearance is PLENTY when hot.

James and Loren and Val  probably advised you --EH ?.

I know Gavrik and if he can not get it running like a top ---with help from here ?  ----nah unthinkable.

Getting Hexyl Nitrate now  ---is important ------the shitty Canadian fuel from  TAR SANDS is
invading  --the US   by the thousands of tons. ---Any time price is around 50 dollars US a barrel ?
that is what is going to happen. -----There is NO way you can get a straight answer from
big Oilbarons about the exact CETANE number. -----Gasoline Octane number ?   yes 
diesel cetane ?  ---NO WAY.--------- remember VW designed the Rabbit for about 55 cetane
and we here in this town are sometimes getting way below 40.  Read Gary Bangs
he explaine the stanadyne solution --I think Roger Brown did too.

Regardless   Gavrik we will do some tests on your pumps.  ----yes make sure you do not
loose that spare pump of yours.

Hagar.

PS :  Hagar the kid who put his sticky fingerprint on the German flying WING    at Kastrup.
Passengers sat inside the bloody wing by the leading edge  ---and could look out
at the world.----talk about a drag---?  EH ?-.
Mind you the ford trimotor next to it was not exactly without drag.------ AH them were the days of
great progress in flying machines.  ---Enter the FW -122 ?   the Condor ----what an airliner.
Streamlined --four engines  ---one of those got my fingerprints all over it.
Belonged to DDL ----Danish Airlines.  -----now SAS.   DDL ?   --"Det Danske Luftfartsselskab.".
"Gina" ?   not a bad name for a Jetta.
