David, Perhaps you can help me. I not that you have referred to the ' old Gardiners and earlier diesels'. I have two L8 Gardners in a motor launch (ML1200 old 1943 military vessel). I have been unable to locate Gardners UK for spares. Do you have any info on this.
By the way, I've started making biodiesal for her use. Thanks to you people out there. Second question: Is there any difference in energy content between, for instance, one liter of sunflower biodiesal and one liter of palm oil biodiesal? In other words, is there a better performance in km/liter for the better oil?

I sell bypass filters especially for this purpose. They are identical to the by-pass oil filters except the orifice restriction of 50 thou which is required to drop the velocity so the oil is filtered properly and only a small percentage is bled off at any given time has been opened out or removed so the diesel has unrestricted flow and is matched to the injector or engine requirement. They also have a tap on the bottom so that the water which separates out and sits on the bottom of the cannister can be regularly bled off. After looking at or replacing everyone I have installed I now know all diesel is dirty even if it looks perfectly clean to the natural eye. When you see what these things remove you can understand why quite a lot of the modern diesels which are built to much finer tolerances dont last anything like the old Gardiners and earlier diesels.
