[Vwdiesel] Fuel 101 --- ( the MICROBES ---nasty little

[James Hansen]

Two points stick in my 'shell':

1) Buy cold diesel (i) because it has more water extracted (or less in it
anyhow)
[Unless Exxon station fuel is sucked up from the bottom of the tank]
                              (ii) get more 'denser ' fuel for your money.
2)Run it at a warmer temp than you bought it at.(Was it Peugeot/Citroen
that use coolant heated fuel filters? Good for Kanola too...
___________________

Some more shell game material:

Fuel pumps are temperature corrected to 15C. Meaning, you buy cold fuel, it
shorts you volume to allow for the denser liquid.  In the heat, I can't see
you getting more however.  You might, but I would be willing to bet a bin of
canola to a boatload of grapes that the correction factors are skewed
slightly.

Interesting you should mention heated filters.  Volks has been using that
since the mark two.  since you are only Mark One, I wouldn't expect you to
know this. :-)))

The C=C bonds delivered to the oxidation chamber however remain constant,
regardless of fuel temp. If it changed with temperature, the motor would
speed up in winter, and slow down in summer.... which it obviously doesn't,
so I guess the governor controls the  C=C bond admission process.
