So, what happens when we move a fuel/lube that has the potential to generate god knows what kind of static charge through a metal injection pump? Is this why seals are poppin? Can paraffin wax limit the size of this charge?

Have you tried fiddling with injector breaking pressure? Even with the WVO at a good temperature pre-injection pump, and the injector increasing temp/decreasing viscosity more, the viscosity may still be too high for proper atomization.

Edit-If the fuel is injected after the piston has started moving down then more work will be done compared to it igniting before the piston gets to tdc and doing extra work pushing the piston down. The downside is that pressure isn't as high, so the fuel doesn't combust as well. Since Hagar is runni...

I think there's already been one made from the factory.

Hagar, what if it's summer time year round, can I use all the wax I want to? I usually don't see much lower than 4C right before sunrise. Asymtave, from what I've gathered, as long as it's in the ~140-160 degree range, when the pump compresses it enough to break the injectors it'll also heat it up a...

Does the wax dissolve at some rate (until the viscosity reaches a maximum?) into the diesel, will it mix evenly?

I was thinking, it'd be really nifty if we started a parts swapping sticky (stuff that wouldn't impinge on Jack's business, or maybe even cores for those that need 'em). Something where people can request (potentially expensive) parts and those of us who happen to have them, or can get them for pret...

I dunno if the trade off's worth it. While energy may be saved from the pump only spinning on demand, that energy will be more "expensive" since it ultimately comes from the engine as well, but needs to move through the alternator (losses), wiring (small losses), and electric motor (small ...

Why is a Rabbit so important ? -----No special tools needed for those Springs on exhaust --just your hands. NO engine hoist needed --just lower engine --and roll body back on rear wheels. ---simple and easy. More later. hagar. That is damn slick! Just support the engine/tranny with a jack, unbolt, ...

I'm still going with leaned out turbodiesel in rabbit body. The jettas with the ecodiesel (leaned out TD from factory) weighed in at ~2500lbs and probably had an AWY transmission. An 80's rabbit weighs in at around ~2000lbs and has a GP or GY tranny. At @55mph the Jetta will spin at ~2900rpm. At @55...

Probably the same reason vw was able to put a NOx scrubber on the ecodiesels, running super lean all the time decreases the amount of soot.

You must have a big tank, because the most I can squeeze out is ~500-550miles. Also, the OP is refering to Imperial gallons, so 70mpIg=~58mpg. I've pulled 55mpg by driving ~95% highway at 45-50mph, and considering that... Well, just read my post and read this . -I don't think this guy has a stock en...

Maybe 70-80mpg highway, but 100mpg, how in the world! :? :D Wait, you're using Imperial gallons... Thus far the most I've averaged is 66mpIg, but that was with a dying rear wheel bearing, no thermostat (engine won't warm up), and plenty of holes in the body. ;) I see you swapped in an ecodiesel in B...
