> Maybe biodiesel will return to the pumps. Not likely. Most diesel fuel has 5% biodiesel added to it for lubricity. Modern diesel engines with DPF and Regen cycles don't tolerate biodiesel well. Here's a couple of articles to increase your understanding of the matter. http://www.biodieselmagazine.com/articles/2290/understanding-the-post-injection-problem https://www.sae.org/publications/technical-papers/content/2011-01-2396/ BTW, Meijer diesel doesn't contain biodiesel.

Re: [MBZ] It’s 2008 all over again
Yes, diesel pickups were and still are abused by using used veg oil. They are ruined for the same reasons. Used cooking oil is severely contaminated with water, acids, and food particles that do not flow throw injection pumps and injectors. Failure to remove those contaminants is common with the belief that you just pump the waste cooking oil into your diesel tank and drive away for free. That does not work. Add to those sins the viscosity of veg oil at room temperature [whatever ambient temp might be]. IF you have clean veg oil, de watered, and acid neutral, it still must be pre-heated to between 160F/180F to achieve a flow rate that will support atomization at the injector nozzle. Below 160F the nozzles will dribble and spew instead of spray crisply. The lack of good spray pattern means you do not get good compression ignition, thus semi burned veg oil builds carbon globs that stick and stack in the combustion chambers, valves, and nozzles. Those chunks of semi burned carbon grind the rings and cylinder walls to death. Further, the cold veg oil overworks the injector pump, fails to lubricate the close tolerance moving parts, and galls them [ruins the IP so it can not be rebuilt]. So, the answer to your question is Yes, diesel trucks are also destroyed.

Jack Crone and his buddy Sam came to pick up my spring compressor in Sam’s gorgeous R129 SL500, turquoise/gray. They’re young guys so it’s nice to see the younger generation becoming Benz enthusiasts. I’m hoping there are no hood stacks involved in their futures but it seems there might be some lowering springs involved in something but I will ignore that.

[MBZ] could be a cheap project for less money -- 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 500 4MATIC Sedan 4D, $2, 000
Could use strut mounts (used to have factory air ride) Intermittent issue with the TCM. ——> basically every now and then it will go into limp mode. Won’t come out of first gear and won’t go past neutral when putting in park (have to turn car off) Far as I can guess it’s caused by the water leak or TCM or could be the battery not supplying properly. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/696440231788083 -- --FT ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Shop door
Realistically there isn't any way to protect anything that somebody can't get through. A chainsaw cutting into a building will make a heck of a racket and the neighbors walk their dog by the camp pretty much every day. They also live close enough that they'd hear somebody running a saw at night. I don't expect they'd go out to investigate but they'd note the car leaving. Simply removing one panel and walking in makes basically no noise, it'd be much easier. -Curt On Wednesday, March 2, 2022, 04:18:21 PM EST, Randy Bennell via Mercedes wrote: But isn't your camp in an area where most folks have a chain saw? Maybe already in the back of the pickup truck? Wouldn't take much to cut a nice big hole through the OSB.
