A bit of Regular mixed with Diesel... Problems?
From : david
Q: drawback is the biodiesel may cleanout buildup in the tank and clog the fuel filter. how much of a pain in the ass is it to change the filter. very simple. its in a canister located on the drivers side of the engine back near the firewall. its got a black plastic cap on it. youll need a 1-1/8 socket to fit the hex head on the cap. unscrew the cap and lift it with filter attached out. with a drain pan under the engine flip the yellow lever at the bottom of the canister. this will drain the canister of fuel. spray down the inside with brake cleaner which will also drain out. close the drain remove the old filter from the cap put the new filter on remove the old o-ring from the cap and put the new one comes with the new filter on. lubricate the o-ring with a little diesel fuel replace the asembly and tighten the cap just until it bottoms out on the canister. use only fleetguard fuel filters available either locally from a cummins/fleetguard dealer or online at http//www.genosgarage.com. dont pay twice the price for the same filter at the dodge dealer. .

in order to get either fuel to combust it has to first be vaporized. in a gas engine its ignited by spark. and in a diesel by compression. but both fuels have to be vaporized to work. gasoline is a lot easier vaporized and so id expect problems with early ignition and who knows what else. cylinder damage. i dont believe that combusted through heat and compression is the opposite of neeing to be vaporized. diesel also needs to be vaporized. no. diesel is sprayed into a fine mist combined with air to be compressed. cy http//www.howstuffworks.com/diesel.htm actually sprayed into the air after the air is compressed. and its sprayed in order to make it easier for fuel to vaporize. vapors burn liquids do not. sorta like wheat or rice in a processing plant. the individual pieces of rice or wheat does not burn very well but once processing starts and makes a lot of dust combined with air makes a very volatile product. cy that sounds like a half-right comparison. the atomizing helps the combustion because it provides more surface area to create vapor. gasoline is heated into a vapor. cy not on any engine ive ever owned. all the gas engines ive owned have used spraying to make a mist which makes it easier to vaporize the gas. that is why in the good ol days that gasoline engines did not work well when cold. the gasoline was not being vaporiaed very well. cy while heat helps the major factor is spraying. you didnt answer my original question. please explain why combusted through heat and compression is the opposite of neeing to be vaporized. .

this topic was discussed at a class conducted by john holms at carson dodge in carson city nv. diesel 101 the care and feeding of a dodge ram diesel. www.diesel101.com a major concern as i understand it is the injector pump and lift pump are lubricated by the fuel passing through them. since gasoline has no lubricating properties there is a real possibility both of these items could be damaged by running gasoline through them. johns recommendation for correcting this issue was to not start the diesel or immediately shut it down and drain the contaminated fuel from the tank. if gas was run through the engine the fuel system should be drained and the filter replaced. i think you should be at your dealer by now. mike b well itll be winter here in kc in a few more days. so far i havent sensed any problems and have ran about 50 miles so far. i assume gas and diesel will mix that its not like oil & water so if i havent noticed any problems yet i should be ok. btw... its an 05. thanks david hey gang whats to be expected if a few gallons of regular gas was mixed in with aproximately 15 gallons of diesel any serious problems thanks david .

stephen lander on channel four tv mi5s director-general stephen lander appeared in channel fours programme the power list on 31/october/1998. the series of three programmes described the most influential people in british society. to my deep amusement and landers undoubted chagrin fulcrum productions makers of the programme chose to illustrate the piece using screen-shots of my website. to the best of my knowledge this is the only time this website has featured on british television screens. 107 -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

bizarre magazine article june/2001 the appropriately-named bizarre magazine a uk publication featured my website on page 114 of their june 2001 issue number 47. they present a copy of the letter mi5 sent me in february 1997. this article was pointed out to me by a reader of bizarre magazine. i suppose i should be pleased to be placed at no. 1 of a list of top ten paranoid sites even though paranoia is only incidental to the the material on this website which is objective. 107 -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

bbc h2g2 16/sept/1999 the bbcs h2g2 website is billed as earth edition of the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy!. naturally one of its pages is about me me me. it starts off with the lines; every now and then something comes along which makes you think ah! thats what the internet is for! mike corley is one such case. the page itself can be found at http//www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/a164404 the user comments linked from h2g2 are less than respectful but given the point of view my website promulgates that is understandable. its true that without the communications ability afforded by the internet which came along at just the right time my complaints would be getting nowhere. but thats a two edged sword also; miniature cameras only appeared around 1990 so the advantage of technology is up to the adopter. secret service intrigues and on the other side of the coin human paranoia have both been going on for centuries; what changes now is an increased technologisation of both sides. 107 -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

jf3489 wrote tom lawrence wrote him which sensor is bad. the symptom is that sometimes the truck starts real hard and doesnt want to stay running. if i stay in the gas for a minute it usually straightens out. that has nothing to do with the o2 sensors. the o2 sensors arent used on initial startup. the pcm is operating in something called open-loop mode - fuel amounts are determined by a set of pre-determined fuel maps in the pcm. its only when the engine warms up that the pcm enters closed-loop mode and modulates fueling based on o2 sensor feedback. your symptom of having to stay on the gas to keep the engine running during start-up is indicative of a problem with the iac idle air control motor which could be because of a bad iac itself or could be the cause of a bad battery not supplying enough voltage to the pcm causing all sorts of problems due to invalid sensor readings. first have the battery load-tested and replace it if it shows any signs of not holding a full charge. if that checks out remove the iac from the throttle body give it good cleaning with tb or carb cleaner re-connect it to the electrical connector while still out of the tb and turn on the ignition. the iac pintle should cycle in and out freely and smoothly. if it doesnt replace the sensor. that is interesting because sometimes it turns over real slow and it is always when this problem is happening. that couple with the other problem sounds like either a sick battery or cruddy battery terminals. as tom alluded both are first and easiest to check & correct. bryan .

hey gang whats to be expected if a few gallons of regular gas was mixed in with aproximately 15 gallons of diesel any serious problems diesel has cetane while gasoline has octane. those products are inversive to each other. thanks david well not exactly. octane and cetane are not truly substances found in gasoline or diesel fuel. rather the octane number on or cetane number cn are index numbers used to specify the resistance of the fuel to knocking in an engine as it pertains to octane or the igntion quality of diesel fuel as it pertains to cetane. the system was derived by astm american society of testing and materials to qualitatively specify the properties of these fuels hope this helps! mike .

there must be a reason why folks panic at the thought of gas in a diesel vehicle. i remember its got to do with predetonation cylinder damage and so on. if it was less combustible no one would worry much about it. -- christopher a. young you cant shout down a troll. you have to starve them. .. no i have no intention of mixing fuels... this was a fluke that *should not* be repeated! thanks david .

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -= why wont the british police do their job and put a stop to it -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- the british police obviously do know what is taking place. besides my interpretations of what individual officers have said which forces that conclusion it would be inconceivable for them to be unaware of something on this scale. if they know then they will know that the abusers have broken laws in the uk and abroad. recently the uk introduced laws against electronic spying which carry a penalty of several years jail if caught. if the police know illegal harassment is taking place and do nothing about it then they are failing in their responsibilities. last easter 1995 i went into the local police station in london and spoke to an officer about the harassment against me. but i couldnt provide tangible evidence; what people said in many cases years ago is beyond proof and without something to support my statements i cannot expect a police officer to take the complaint seriously. the current situation with regard to the police is not one which allows a breakthrough in dealing with the problem. on the one hand most individual officers at a local police station may not know about the ongoing assaults so a complaint at that level will not yield results. yet t

i have a 1996 dodge dakota slt 4x4 v-8 auto. i recently had my check engine light diagnosed and was told i have a bad o2 sensor. the mechanic told me i should replace both because his reader will not tell him which sensor is bad. the symptom is that sometimes the truck starts real hard and doesnt want to stay running. if i stay in the gas for a minute it usually straightens out. does anyone out there know of a way to determine which sensor is bad if it means anything the check engine light will be on for a few days and off for a few days. the problem seems to be more apparent when the light is off. greatly appreciated. .

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-= -= capital radio - chris tarrant -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-= capital radio djs have been in on it from the start. one of the first things i heard in the summer of 1990 was from a capital dj who said if he listens to capital then he cant be all bad supportive you see. were not bastards. much of what came over the radio in 1990 is now so far away the precise details have been obliterated by time. no diary was kept of the details and although archives if they exist may give pointers the ambiguity of what broadcasters said would leave that open to re-interpretation. in spring 1994 chris tarrant on his capital morning show made an aside to someone else in the studio about a person he didnt identify. he said you know this bloke he says were trying to kill him. we should be done for attempted manslaughter. that mirrored something i had said a day or two before. what tarrant said was understood by the staff member in the studio he was saying it to; they said oh no dont say that to tarrant. if any archives exist of the morning show probably unlikely then it could be found there; what he said was so out of context that he would be very hard put to find an explanation. a couple of days later someone at the site where i was working repeated the remark although in a different way; they said there had been people in a computer room when automatic fire extinguishers went off and those people were thinking of suing for attempted manslaughter. finally this isnt confined to the established radio stations. in 1990 after i had listened to a pirate radio station in south london for about half an hour there was an audible phone call in the background followed by total silence for a few moments then shrieks of laughter. so what are we supposed to say now deadly torture hes going to talk to us now isnt he which meant that they could hear what i would say in my room. 107 -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -= mi5 bugging and counter-surveillance -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- po did you ever look for the bugs in your house if not why not i mean if po i thought that was happening to me id search the place from top to bottom po i mean i live there i would know if anything was out of place. if i was po really suspicious i would call in one of those bug detection teams which po have those machines that pick up the transmitted radio waves. this po reminds me of bugs that new programme on bbc1 on thats exactly what we did. we went to a competent professional detective agency in london paid them over 400 quid to debug our house. they used scanner devices which go to over 1 ghz and would pick up any nearby transmitter in that range they also checked the phones and found nothing... but if the tap was at the exchange then they wouldnt find anything would they cs doesnt this suggest to you that there are in fact no bugs to be found you can assume that theyve done this sort of thing to other people in more serious cases where they would know the targets would suspect the presence of electronic surveillance. so they will have developed techniques and devices which are not readily detectable either by visual inspection or by electronic means. what those techniques might be i couldnt guess. in this case the existence of bugging devices was clear from the beginning and they rubbed it in with what was said by the boy on the coach. it was almost as if they wanted counter-surveillance people to be called in who they knew would fail to detect the bugging devices causing loss of credibility to the other things i would have to say relating to the harassment. i did all the things someone in my situation would do to try to find the bugs. in addition to calling in professional help using electronic counter-surveillance i made a close visual inspection of electrical equipment plus any points where audio or video surveillance devices might have been concealed. of course i found nothing. normal surveillance mini-cameras are quite noticeable and require visible supporting circuitry. it seems to me the best place to put a small video surveillance device would be additional to a piece of electronic equipment such as a tv or video. it would be necessary to physically break in to a property to fit such a device. 106 -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .
