Sweetmeat--the same thing happed to me at the BP station in Lakeland Florida. (gas deliverted from a green handle labeled DIESEL) I didn't notice at all until it started missing ---Yikes!!! 2004 MB Sprinter turbo diesel. So the only way to empty the 30 gals of regular out of the DIESEL tank...

And what would be the 2nd thing?

what is the 2nd thing? Just curious.

It must not be just about saving money--that would be just STUPID. Some folks are just very stubborn about insisting on RUINING expensive German diesel with this WVO CRAP! THIS IS NOT BIODIESEL, FOLKS! Real refined bio _D is MORE Expensive than road diesel.Duh. Maybe you must make some kind of...

I trust nobody will rag me for posting in the wrong area----"Alternative fuels" indeed!!

Well it happened to me @ the BP station in Lake City Florida back in Feb. We pulled into the clearly marked DIESEL PUMP (green hose and handle) with our 2004 MB SPRINTER campervan. Cheerfullly pumped $78 worth and went on our way--for about a mile. Got towed to a shop which was not...

Jon I hope you eventually get some replies on this one very puzzling. Seems like you took appropriate action to resolve it. Nick.

1898 VW New Beetle TDI 1.9 Rick-----sure you got the valve timing correct? Had it scanned yet? Use this forum to find a trustworthy TDI Guru near you. Bound to be one. Good luck and don't give up it's probably something simple.

I agree totally--that's a far better solution than a miserable night unable to stretch out. I have a long history of sleeping in vehicles when necessary and so I was disappointed to find I could not get really comfortable in my 2004 Jetta wagon and was happy to discover the bottom cushion...

900 mile tank PD Or even 65 MPH he might have made it. 75 seems to be slightly ahead of the curve. I regularly get 80 KILOMETERS OR MORE IN MY 2004 Jetta wagon (BEW) just driving normally. If I still lived in Texas I would try for a 1000 mile tank, but up here it's too hilly and...

"Willie's Place" Hillsboro Texas I stopped by last winter to check out what Willie Nelson started----the first Biodiesel Truckstop in North America, @ " Carls' Corner" on Interstate 35 near Hillsboro. Surprised to find that is is now an "EXXon/Petro" with the usual fast food...

It realluy shouldn't go dead in 5 days-----batteries DO self discharge but not that fast. I regularly leave my 2004 Jetta TDI for 8 t to 10 weeks with no problems--- starts right up.. I suggest you do NOT disconnect as you may lose codes. GEt a jumper pack from various sources (gel cell...

Bypass oil "Starvation"? Sorry Rattler i can't agree with you on this one. I can't see how the bypass system REDUCES the amount of oil available so long as the oil level is CORRECT ON THE STICK! More oil is needed in total, that's just a benefit. Only downside of these systems to me is...

Dieselgeek Bypass Oil Filter Just to make their expensive high-tech engines LAST LONGER is the only reason I can think of. My oil analysis reports improved markedly starting from the dat i installed one of Jim's setups. Sorry to hear that they are going out of production. Just glad that...
