What you've described is classic example of running home brew biodiesel. In a perfect world, biodiesel would be made to Schedule 52 and be perfectly compatible with dino diesel [pump diesel].... Home brew diesel is often far from Schedule 52 biodiesel and when it burns, leaves a very sticky and thick layer of carbon inside the injectors, on valves, and combustion chambers... which make the car run like crap as it builds up..
It also will degrade IP performance, which affects fuel delivery to the then clogged injectors, which then don't make good spray pattern, which degrades the burn rate of the fuel injected.. which makes more carbon.. OOooops... might be time to open the tank and clean it out.. purge the rest of the fuel system, new filters.. AND... pull a fuel nozzle and have a look at what "one of them look like"... Actually... I would pull the one fuel nozzle first... Just a thought. Grant... On Sun, Oct 2, 2016 at 5:58 PM, clay via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > PO was running Bio for a long time.
