[Vwdiesel] Rebuilt injectors and new fast glo-plugs

[B & R Decker]

Hi Folks;
	I'm just about finished installing rebuilt injectors and new hot
plugs in my 1981 Dasher wagon. It will be interesting to see if my mileage
is better or worse with the rebuilt injectors. The last time I had a set
rebuilt it smoothed out the idle and improved power in the 1.6 turbo engine
I was running in an 81 Rabbit pickup. The engine in my present Dasher Wagon
is a 1.6 turbo block with 1mm over turbo pistons. I did the rebuild about
20,000 miles ago and installed it in another Dasher wagon that my wife was
driving. She had lost coolant and fried the engine in her Dasher and the
only diesel short block I had at the time was the turbo block so in it went
along with Race-Ware head studs. That Dasher body finally got retired a
couple of years ago. In June I installed that engine and the Quantum 9Q 5
speed tranny into a Dasher Station wagon body a guy gave me. It has been a
great car and if you keep it 60 to 65 miles per hour it gets 50+ mpg. 
	I have a couple of projects for this Dasher that I hope to have done
in a couple of months or so. First is to install a Quantum turbo setup that
I have along with an intercooler. When that is done I will be installing a
heated second tank and run WVO. I plan to make a centrifuge using a
centrifuge bowl from simplecentrafuge.com to process my WVO. I figure to
spend about 2 grand on the centrifuge and my two tank heated WVO system.
Since I drive a lot and usually put about 20,000 a year on my traveling rig
I should be able to recoup the cost of the veggie conversion in a year or
two.
	With the turboed 1.6 diesel I can handily run the freeway at 70/75
and with the WVO conversion I won't have to feel bad that the Dasher only
gets about 42/45 at that speed instead of the 50+ it gets driving at 60
