[diesel_mercedes] Re : my fuel froze this morning

 


Glad you got it going again ! .

Time for a bottle of " Diesel 911 " .

Do others here use a gasoline mix in the winter to prevent Diesl from freezing ? it says to in the owner's booklet .

-Nate who thankfully lives in Sunny Southern California where even when it was 34* F the other morning , it fired right up and ran fine , maybe it's the Power Service Cetane Boost I ad 3 Oz. to each fillup ? .

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Why Not Grease car ?

 


You answered the question the same as I ~ " you can't use it as a town car " .

90 + % of vehicle usage is In Town Driving and that's why almost _ALL_
grease cars wind up in Pick-A-Part where we scavange the good bits...

" free fuel " ISA LIE .

It appears I have missed a few messages , sorry .
