[Vwdiesel] Fuel Diesel 101 --- ( Remember to add lubricant to winter diesel )

[H . Hagar.]

Canada and northern States is beginning to sell "THIN"  crappy fuel.      ( this written
21 Nov 2003 ) .    There are a number of ways to get by on the cheap.        Use stanadyne
if you can afford it ----for the rest of us here are a couple of tips.

Best of all lubes is one with a high cetane number and clean burning.   A cup of canola pr
fillup  (steal from kitchen)    or a cup of heavy straight engine oil.   Aviation oil is
best (better crude)  and can be had in Ashless Dispersant.    Underline no ash.  If you
doubt the importance  --look up price for Injection pumps or rebuilding.       Have fun

Hagar has learned a few things more since  nov 2003.

The absolutely best for WINTER  use ? ---" Stanadyne "  --so good that Bosch started to
recommend it.------as usual my favorite is Aviation piston lube  --due to the high cetane
number and NIL ash.---I also checked out Lorens recommendation of using 2 cycle
lube ---works super for me. I drove today on 2 cycle oil lubricating the pump and
injectors.. ---I mentioned Canola  ---as an emergency fix ---to get to town for say  2
cycle oil.-----It is a high cetane really good lubricant.----I used it straight out of the
fridge.----Like Eddy in Seattle say ---coking and varnish on nozzles is a problem if you
use more than reqired for the job.
Vegetable oils are tricky if you are a rank beginner.  Look at your deepfryer ? that will
tell you.---or better yet look at MINE.--I love freedom fries ----made from real Gem state
Russets ----for Mark Shepherd --GEM ?  IDAHO.----The best spud of my life ? came from
North East Washington state ---They have some super volcanic soil there.
