Hi Randy,

thanks,

I plan to use a second tank eventually, but for now, was wondering if I can just strain the oil and add to the fuel tank with the diesel, in some predetermined proportion.

how much hell is it to make the biodiesel, or are youy just purchasing it from a gas station?
thanks!

Hi All,

My connection for WVO is olive oil... any problems/ advantages to using this?

The Van's running now, so I'm thinking of throwing in so strained olive oil and see what happens...

any thoughths on a simple way to try this?

thanks, Steve

Hi All here's some unique ailments on my 1996 passat wagon. Occasionally at idle, there's a rattle coming from the black plastic cap area at the end of the transmission, (it has a VW symbol on it)...stops when I depress clutch. also the seat belt light never goes out anymore (the buzzer does turn of...

All mine do is leak... so that's all I need... for now...

thanks, Steve

it's only got 2K miles on it... but, it's on the short list... reight after I get a rebuilt pump to relpace my leaker...

Hi All,

now that I know I need to replace my super leaky IP, does anyone know of a decent rebuilder (DC area prefably, but not necessary), who can set it up for biodesel


thanks,

Hi All, I got my beast running again! WHY it stated I'm not sure... here's what I did I did what you'all mentioned, and took the banjo fitting off the top of the filter, and stuick it in a bottle of diesel...the pump sucked it up quick! I expected the 3 out of 4 loosened fuel pipe fittings to start ...

Hi All,

I love to look at things I can't rebuild and wondered if there's a pix of an injection pump... so I can see what's in that little jewel...

thanks, Steve

thanks all, I'll try that clear fuel line in clean diesel trick, see if it draws...

how can I check this stop solonoid? is it hard to replace (I'll try everything easy first, THEN go to pump replacement!)

anyone know a good pump rebuilder in the DC area?

thanks again!

Steve

the front seal was leaking... and the van sat for 6 weeks... BUT, should it not reprime itself? I tightened up the connections at the poump and the filter, but the lines are the original (dark brown). Is there a secondary pump in the system to bring fuel to the IP? What's involved in a pump rebuild?...

Hi Buzz!

Thanks,

where IS that exactly? (I sort of know pentegon city, and the Costco ever there...)

thanks Steve

Hi All,

Has anyone compiled a list of stations that sell biodiesel? I only know of Hilltop in Centerville, MD, (Eastern Shore)

thanks, Steve

Hi All, ASSUMEing I can get my 83 Vanagon 1.6TD to start again (injector pump issues), I'd like to start using some of this used veggie oil I have from a from a local restaurant. Can I just put it in the tank, (after filtering) and let it mix with the diesel? If so, what's a good ratio? How long is ...

Hi All! I have a 1.6 TD in an 83 vanagon... I have been needing to crank engine over for a long while (~15 seconds) to reprime the pump and then she'd fire right off. now, nothing!... I cracked the injector pipes loose a bit, and crank motor for a minute... no weepage at pipes... is my pump shot? wo...

I moved the cam slightly, the tapping went away...

does anyone have an extra cam holder tool? (2065A) I can buy from them?

thanks Tbones
