[Vwdiesel] It lives

[decker at toledotel.com]

James has the right info here. Lubra Molly's diesel purge will clean an
injection pump. When I buy an old Rabbit diesel it is one of the first
things I do. I pull the clear line off the fuel filter and stick it in the
can of Diesel Purge. I then run a line from the return outlet on the top of
the pump into the can. I start the engine and run it untill I have used up
almost all the contents of the can. You won't believe how fast the diesel
purge that returns from the pump turns the contents of the can black. It
will take many minutes to run the can almost dry. The engine always runs
smoother and better after this treatment.
