It turns out the leak was right at the outlet of the turbo itself. The spring clip had apparently weakened and allowed the hose to come loose, although, thankfully, it didn't come off completely. Trusted mechanic, Ray_G found the problem and repaired it for me. Once again, hats off to Ray. He's...

Thanks for the tips guys. I'll let you know how it goes.

The title pretty well describes my problem. I have a turbo boost leak, and it sounds like "shhhhhh". It gets louder as the boost increases, i.e., correlates directly with the reading on my boost guage. It sounds like it's coming from underneath the car and is only there when the engine is under...

I second that emotion! Ray hammer-modded my IP, set the injection timing, and fixed a couple of fuel leaks for me. Was it ever worth it! My ride screams now and smokes a lot less than it did before. It also runs alot smoother and gets better mileage. It ran so good that I had to back off the...

I had exactly what you are describing in a batch of home brew biodiesel made by a friend. It plugged my fuel filter pretty fast. I have a clear inline fuel filter ahead of the main fuel filter so I could clearly see what was going on. (BTW, my inline fuel filter is from NAPA and the part number...

Sorry, I kind of forgot about this thread. Check out the Oklahoma Biodiesel Initiative forum at www.biodieselnow.com for updates.

A few people will be getting together this Friday evening (8-11-06) in Guthrie at Campfire Coffee to discuss forming a biodiesel co-op. I plan to get there around 8:00 or before. Campfire Coffee is located on the north side of Oklahoma Avenue at the west end of the street just before you get to...

Harrier beats TDI by 1/10 second I know everyone thinks the Audi R10 TDI is hot stuff after winning at Sebring and Lemans, but this race is a definitive demonstration that the R10 really isn't all that hot!;) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/south_of_scotland/5157758.stm...

Isn't there a 170 HP version of the 2.0 litre common-rail VW diesel engine? With ULSD firmly in place by 2008, I see no reason why that engine option could not be made available in the U.S. by then, other than a bad marketing decision by someone at VWoA.

I beg to differ on that point. ULSD does make a difference in my wife's PD-TDI. It runs stronger with noticeably more power in the higher RPM range, probably due to the higher cetane rating of the fuel. I don't know where you are in Oklahoma, but you can get ULSD in Oklahoma City at Commercial...

Ray! Drain your fuel tank immediately! Use your mouth to suck the poison out of your fuel filter and spit it into a used clorox bottle for safe disposal in any nearby sanitary landfill! Have your car towed to Commercial Lubricators on Exchange Avenue in Oklahoma City! Fill the tank with...

I don't know about No VA, but I just filled up with ULSD in OKC. The sticker on the pump said ULSD, no more than 15 PPM Sulphur.:D

I just filled up at Commercial Lubricators on Exchange Ave in Oklahoma City. The label on the pump said it was ULSD containing no more than 15 ppm Sulphur. I filled up and went inside to pay and asked the owner if it was in fact ULSD. He verified that it was! Yippee! It's finally here! I'm so...

I was referring to the smell of the fuel as it was being pumped into the fuel tank, not while the car was running. I am inclined to agree with NH_Mike's assessment, i.e., that the blue sun biodiesel was blended with some off-road (undyed) high-sulphur D2. The car ran fine on the fuel, but...
