Jaques raised a very good question back on 5th Sept., and as a non-chemist I was looking forward to seeing what the answer would be (something about polymerisation perhaps). A related problem seems to have arisen with very high pressure common rail systems (1600 Bar). These issues must be addressed or we are going to be discredited by the petrolhead fraternity:
"Greetings, Speaking with an engine mechanic working for my local Caterpillar dealer, I was told that a customer using Biodiesel had come in for service due to engine failure. Upon inspection, it was evidenced that an injector seal had failed thereby allowing some biodiesel to come in contact with engine oil. Apparently that contact caused a resulting mixture similar to "tar" which failed the engine. Does anyone have any information if indeed mixing biodiesel with motor oil would cause a tar like substance, and if so why? Thanks for any info. Jacques Sinoncelli" ------------------------ Yahoo!
