[Vwdiesel] Candle for a Rabbit----? ( Bell Book and Candle )

[Randy Tyler]

What am I missing??
   
  I buy expensive winter grade fuel with a low cloud point which has the paraffin wax removed.  Then I buy the removed food grade paraffin wax at an inflated price and put it back in.  I practise recycling of some products but I intend to give this a pass for the next while.  My engine with its injectors, lube oil, pumps and cooling system was designed around a certain standard of diesel fuel.
   
  Paraffin candles have a wider range of quality control and standard than North American diesel fuel because of imports.
   
  There are paraffin fuelled diesel engines just as there are bunker fuelled diesel engines but they have been designed that way.
   
  More data is needed otherwise this subject belongs in the urban legend category.

  So what is the effect of stearic acid on an injection pump and injectors?
Paraffin candles have stearic acid added to raise the melting point, so the
flame burns better, the wax melts slower and the melted wax pool doesn't
over flow. That's what makes drippless candles "dripless".
I can see adding straight pure paraffin wax in SUMMER ONLY. Fatty acids
however, may F up the injector tips prematurely, it would be like burning
soap.

No David and ALL I did not shove the candle into the fuel tank --BUT on a
hot summers
day ? ---yes I would do just that.---pull the wick out first. (no need to
light it).

I use ParoWax by conros ---it used to say ESSO on the boxes--.Candles
? I insist
on PARAFFIN candles. ---NOT those other ones. I do dissolve first ---
and make a
concentrate. Then add according to outside temperature.--To make sure it
does not clog
screen in tank --- that works. for me.

Svend.

PS : At a lot of stores ParoWax goes on sale after canning season is
done
with. --So I stock up then. ----Candles go on sale in January ? use a
scale to get
maximum Wax per dollar or Pound UK.
How many candles (butts) is put in the garbage in Seattle after Christmas
? ---I could
drive all the way to the east coast on nothing but them candles---on a HOT
summers
day. ---Fuel is where you find it.
Paraffin wax lubricates your cylinders too --not to forget.
