Good Morning.
Hmmm, good point about the thread name changing. I use gmail for this list
and it does sort mail by thread. Gmail also keeps all the mail together even
if the subject changes. I don't know how it does this. The reason I never
notice is gmail also hides the subject upon reply. I will think about how I
can maintain a common subject for my Peugeot 505s Turbo Diesel issues from
now on. I appreciate everyone reading and would like to keep it easy to
follow. This time though someone else changed the subject. Although it may
have been for the very reason you note. Anyway, point taken.
Yes I have attempted the Italian tuneup. A fellow diesel car enthusiast
mentioned it. Even if his is a Mercedes Benz, and he a German, I wonder
where the term came from?
I purchased two fuel filters and plan on installing the first as soon as the
clear water trap which I gather is an add-on to the original, shows a little
more crud in it. right now it is brand new looking. As I mentioned in other
threads the car is to be used for biodiesel and this type of fuel
notoriously dislodges gunk from the fuel tank and plugs the filter soon
after use.
On a side note, I ran around eight gallons of my homemade fuel through the
system last weekend. The engine seemed to like it. I like the smell better
than Dino-diesel. The car idled better with the biodiesel, smooth and tight.
The viscosity of biodiesel is about twice that of regular diesel. The car
still poured black smoke on the hills. This week I am back to running
straight diesel because my first batch of home brew is used up. With any
luck next week we will have our biodiesel processor capable of producing 35
gallons per week operating. I have my eye on that fuel filter.
