Lubricity, in this topic's context, i.e., lubricity of fuel for diesel engines, be it dino-diesel, bio-diesel or vegetable oil (SVO, WVO), is of much importance mainly because of how it affects the internal components of the high-pressure injection pump. Not to be confused with (surface)...

It just means the guy is running "straight vegetable oil" (SVO) in his diesel, although he is adding gasoline to it. Biodiesel is the product of a chemical process that uses vegetable oil, an alkali (NaOH or KOH), alcohol (methanol or ethanol) and heat. SVO has very very little lubricity...

Avoid running the fuel line directly into the passenger compartment for safety reasons... keep it outside of the cabin. You can, instead, use an electronic pressure sender hooked up to an electronic pressure gauge.

I would tend to agree. You would want to stay away from the hot-dipped zinc as the coating can flake even without a solute. Electro-plated zinc should be okay. From the Biodisel.org: "Copper, brass, lead, tin, and zinc should be avoided," so remember which parts are made of what when using...

Okay, then. Before you plug the external hard drive into the new computer: -- Right-click on [Start] on your task bar (bottom left of your screen) -- Left-click to select "Explore" -- You should have a screen with two (2) main sections, "Folders" on the left and "Name, Size, Type, Date...

After I snapped my front anti-sway bar, I ordered the HD Hellwigs and while waiting for delivery, found a sale on HD Hellwigs for the rear and ordered them, too. Now, there is minimal body roll, really solid going around the curves but no off-roading without disconnects... I'll take pics this...

It might be just as easy to connect both PCs, each with a patch cord/straight through cable, into an Ethernet hub, if you already have one. OR It might even be easier if you decide to remove the hard drive from the old PC and install it as a secondary hard drive in the new PC, making...

Sorry Tim, that was thoughtless of me... Franko

Hello bison, The "cable with big phone jacks on both ends" sounds like an Ethernet cable (a.k.a. Ethernet patch cord, data cable, network cable, Cat5/Cat5e cable, etc.). If it's plugged into the old PC, the old PC, most probably has a network card (a.k.a. Ethernet card, NIC, etc.). The...

Same thing happened to our 98 Tahoe... the original fron anti-roll bars are made of spring steel rolled into tube. When it snapped, it went with a !@#$%^& loud "DONG!!!" that I looked in the rearview mirror to see if I had run over anything, like a loose manhole cover or something. What...

:D:D:D

Almost exactly the same experience converting the '86 burb to R134, $45 conversion kit from local auto parts chain (R&S Strauss). I dunno what happened to the R12 but "the system was already depressurized" which is how I came about to converting it because no can buy R12 anymore. (You all know...

That would be neat. You will find most of the smoke coming out from underneath the engine compartment, past the front suspension and around the bell housing. Basically, when the fans are cranking, you can feel where most of the air is rushing out. Please post the movie (.zip allows it to be...

The louvers' vents face rearward, so even a hose soak from the front or even from an angle will not pour or heavily drip water into the engine compartment (I tried by placing a cookie pan under them). Splashing the water stream directly onto the windshield resulted in water cascading down past...

Hey Matt, Orifice, orifice, orifice. Bypass oil filters use an orifice (~1/16") to tap the oil line. LP and natural gas regulators use an orifice, too. Has to be clean/smooth (numbered drill bit, bench drill press, drill press vise, cutting oil).

Haven't seen a clicker torque wrench with a lifetime or limited lifetime warranty. I use both beam and clicker torque wrenches: quick rough torque with stubby ratchet, beam torque, then clicker torque. For high torque values with multiple nuts (heads, wheel nuts, etc), I stage the torque...

Didn't know you spoke Italian, too... sweet...

The centrifuge will eliminate foam because of the G forces involved in the centrifuge process. Nevertheless, I also think this step is overkill when regular filters can do just a good a job.

MPG of Electric Fan Pushing Through Louvers I've attached a .zip file of a movie.mpg showing one electric fan pumping engine compartment air out of the hood louvers at standstill (remember, much air coming out below engine, too). Somewhere, I also have another movie.mpg showing streamers on...

AutoZone E8012S I have successfuly installed a lift pump from AutoZone p/n E8012S (Airtex) in two 6.2NA Subs and our 6.5TD Tahoe. Summit and Advance Auto carries them, too: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ATX-E8012S http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ATX-E8012S I've attached a .bmp of...
