well: 1. the akroyd hot plate does not ignite the fuel, it vaporizes it. The compression ignites it. 2. Diesels first engine was run on gasoline...coal dust was a later experiment that did not work b/c it could not be injected precisely enough (and hard to keep completely dry) 3. True, if the hot

I agree, it IS a legitimate position. Those are the reasons given for the suicide theory. I just think it's less plausible than the murder. He was a devout Lutheran (not given to suicide, but certainly that doesn't rule it out). THe thing that makes me wonder is his suspicion, voiced to his travell

Re: [MBZ] Very off topic -- Volvo's

My bias is for the 240s of the late 80s and early 90s. They're good, solid cars, parts are plentiful and cheap, and they're relatively easy to work on. --mf

Re: [MBZ] IP "oel" cap (red) on '76 240D W115 (Marshall's opinion requested)

I knew that "yelling Marshall" would probably come across wrong. But that you did this for many years reassures me. When you are told several differrent things, one wonders which is correct. No offense meant. If that 'drain bolt with holes' is low enough, then maybe my pump isn't toast after all..

Nice cars, Front wheel drive a bit harder to work on than the RWD 7,9, 200 series cars ( of which I have at least one of each , some gas, some diesel :-). All of that vintage were built to last, including the 850. Aside from the usual FWD torque steer, the 850 is a blast to drive. -Rob
