[diesel_mercedes] Monthly Vintage Car Meet & Greet

 

Indeed it always is and was .

More Vintage American cars than usual this time .

Only *one* old Mercedes..... .

I got there a few hours early and had coffee , read E-Mail , wrote some Tech Support , ready my book etc. until others began rolling in right around 9AM .

I stayed a couple hours then SWMBO called me to say she was going off galevanting with her Daughter, this meant I no longer had to go to her house so I left  to do some things, ran out of fuel going uphill as I approached a red light, backed to the curb , cleaned the tiny bit of crud out of the intake screen, added my two gallons of reserve fuel and drove it to Arcadia and filled it with HPR brand Bio - Fuel .

The intake screen remains clear as glass so I hope to begin driving the '82 240D and working though it's fungus issue .

This Bio-Diesel certainly makes the engine run smoother ~ it still idles too slowly (in spite of multiple speed adjustments) and is sluggish off idle but as soon as it passes 2,000 RPM the boost comes on very smoothly and strongly and it has great pickup and sharp throttle response , just for grins I floored it on the freeway and was rewarded with 100 MPH and accelerating with less than full pedal to the metal .

I'm aware that part of this re found power is due to the
overflow valve I recently replaced , I'm still trying to hook up an internal pressure gauge .
