[Vwdiesel] More Quantum Questions?

[Gerry Wolfe]

Lubrimoly (sp?) makes a product called "diesel purge".  I understand it is 
designed specifically for cleaning diesel injectors.

If they are in bad shape, you disconnect the diesel fuel lines and run it 
100% at a standstill until exhausted.  Or, dump into the fuel tank 
periodically for preventative maintenance, maybe annually.  Instructions are 
on the can.

I have heard that ATF will also clean injectors, but it is not a lubricant 
so could do bad stuff to the pump.
