[Vwdiesel] 150000 milestone

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

I let it settle for a few days first, you would be amazed at what  
will settle out of oil that looks "clear".  Then it goes through a  
fiber restaurant filter cone, then an Oberg 600  28 micron screen  
filter and finally, after mixing with the diesel, through a 10 micron  
fuel filter and then into the tank where it is filtered one last time  
by the on board filter.  Hayden

" Those who are willing to sacrifice Liberty for Security, deserve  
neither Liberty nor Security."  Ben Franklin
"Dictatorships all have common factors:  a government controlled by  
one party, a leader who claims to have special powers outside the law  
to keep the country "safe", secret prisons where people are locked up  
without charges or trial and government opponents are branded as  
unpatriotic and charged with aiding the enemy."
