[diesel_mercedes] Dirty Fuel Blues

 


Y'know Lawrence ;

For a while we could buy B20 Diesel at the pump , I always thought I should run a few tank full as I'm told it'll loosen up all the crud and dirt in the entire fuel system and that'd be a good thing in my car .

Remember when my poor Coupe was chugging to a halt  now and then from clogged fuel filters ? .


I have several large fuel/water filter/separators I could plumb in and change them on the side of the road as they filled with crud...

Sigh .

Maybe you aren't using enough veggie oil in your mix.  :)  Lawrence Rhodes 70+mph blow by, oil usage.  55 to 60 reasonable oil usage. 1980 300 TD Just completed two months in San Diego on 1200 pounds of veg oil and 3 tanks of diesel.  1000 mile round trip with 64 miles a day commute.  Blew the self leveling high pressure hose & installed a radiator but otherwise not harmed.  275 k on the clock.  Purrs like a kitten at idle.
