The problem most people run into is when the intake gets clogged with soot. If you run Biodiesel, you greatly reduce this problem since there is little to no soot, or...you could always have it cleaned out by your local mechanic. I have a VW Golf TDI and according to those on www.tdiclub.com, soo

Hi, I guess you don't live in Europe. I just read in the local paper that over 50% of the automobiles sold to date in 2002 in Spain were Diesels. Also, due to the life style generally seen in Europe, many of these are used for relatively short runs. Some are actually designed as 'city cars.' Man

It is no real merit to this argument. I had diesel cars for the last 26 years. But even when I financed my studies by driving taxi in Stockholm some 40 years ago, the diesel taxis engines last 3 to 5 times longer than gasoline. The famous London Cab is a diesel car. In todays diesels it is ev

Diesel engines power 37% of all new cars sold in Europe - 62% in France. Everywhere, most trips are short trips, including for all those Europeans using diesels. That may have been an issue with much older diesels, but not these days, it's a different and much better beast. Keith >I live in

Hi! I own a 96 Chev crew cab with the 6.5L TD. They are not bad engines, but they had a few bad years. In 94 they were fitted with a computerised injection pump, which turned out to be very unreliable, and is basically the reason for their poor reputation (they were REALLY bad :)). However, by

Assuming the paper towels clean out most of the carbon [I can't imagine that happening], and also assuming the oil had not broken down [viscosity-wise] then you could reuse it. It's up to you, but I really wouldn't recommend it, I've worked on heavy diesels for a couple years, just my opinion. -Ma

Exactly right, it's called pilot injection and is an alternative to fitting spark plugs when using gaseous fuel such as from a wood gasifier or any other source. Fuel use in the pilot system can be rather minor once the engine is warmed up. David T. "As I understand it, Diesels running on gaseou
