I get 1/2 a tank of B100 (99 lately, actually) from a CFN cardlock station in Oly and then fill 'er up with petrol diesel. When our TDI had the same problem, I did suspect the fuel, so I brought a sample to my mechanic who said he could test it, but he reported no problems (I do suspect, however, that the age of the fuel I get there might be an issue). Personally, I'm now convinced it's primarily the heat (which is the best explanation I got at the TDIClub biodiesel forum): it only just started to get into the upper 80's around here; I've been stuck in traffic in the heat alot recently (and when I'm not I "push" the engine, if you know what I mean); and though still far from the red, just before my wife noticed the puddle under my car, I noticed my temperature reading was a little higher than I usually see it. As Viton is rated to withstand temps up to 550degF, I'll place my faith in it. > I do wonder what hose your indy used on the 240D. > Did it have a cloth sheath on it? Yes; for the courtesy of your address, I'd be happy to send you (and any other interested readers) a piece to examine. DG P.S. for redghost: Bow Wow does not inventory Viton tubing - good thing I called before I went there. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
