Thank you for doing this test.
I just wanted to do the same sort of test.
By the way, does anybody know why the additives which are used for petro
diesel are no good for use in BD ?

I am now the owner of 2 diesel vehicles. My trusty Golf TDi (B20 only, for

because I like the 1 minute purge feature. I was

Hi,
I don't believe that the Duramax, the engine designed by Isusu, was introduced
by GM until 2001. The 6.5 engine you are referring to in the 1995 model year is
a totally different engine. Unless, of course, someone changed the engine to
the more recent Duramax.
Welcome to the list,
Derek
You are right, I dont see the word Duramax anywhere, just thought thats what
they called the 6.5.

Nope - both are problems, and they're not the only ones. Of course

You are doing the right thing. But, remember that a high FFA content
usually is managed with NaOH or KOH in excess or by a pre-staged acid

Of course there is a possibility that unsaturated compounds interact in the
