[Vwdiesel] We should listen to our wives more :(

[Evans Antoniou]

hi all,d

had to go out for a drive the family and i insisted on
taking my veggie machine (96 1.9TD Jetta). i had
purged most of the air on the veggie side so i felt it
was safe. i told my wife this but she was more
comfortable with taking her MK4 tdi but i was stubborn
and like a good wife that  she is , she listened to me
:)  :(

drove around in the middle of the night (8pm and it
gets very dark at this time - eastern canada) and on
the veggie the power starts to drop so i switch over
to diesel quickly.

so the engine never got rid of the air and to makes
matters worse i did not have my tools!!! 

so call the tow truck which only takes 2 people and we
were five. my wife chose to wait in a restaurant of my
choice which only threw her out 10 minutes after i
left. she was fuming!!!

i though sleeping on the sofa would be the best choice
as we were both very upset at the situation but for
different reasons. 

so now the problem.

while the car was sputtering i removed the overflow
hoses one at a time which seemed to help for a short
period. should i have done this? i know it was air
because i use clear hoses on my veggie return and
there  was plenty of air both of foam and air pockets.


now the car start so should i just uscrew the top of
the injector line for a few seconds?

the fuel filter was changed a few months ago.

would it be save to purchase a fuel filter with 2
inlinets only and simply removing the "T" piece?

one of the local veggie car owner did this and he does
not have any  problems. what do u guys thinkk?

thanks for all the help

thanks form Montreal.
