i understand the ultra low sulfur diesel is dry and can damage your fuel pump, which can in turn damage the rest of the engine. there aren‘t any bio-blend pumps around here, and opti-lube is HARD to find without paying ridiculous shipping costs (and it‘s pricey). i was looking at stanadyne lubricity formula (apparently endorsed by VW). any other suggestions?
Chihuahua's shake a lot.cause they are so small.try warming a blanket up in the dryer and put it around her.or use a heating blanket or pad on low :) that should warm her up
At this age he should be getting four meals per day, so it's close to a mealtime now. Add a few drops of natural honey to his regular meal to up his glycemic index. And be sure to warm the food before feeding.
You should speak to your franchised VW dealership as regards the quality of diesel fuel on the US market. I am sure VW thought about it. Your TDI is very much an old generation engine now.
Right. I didn't realize that there were people on YA that have a degree in chemistry and also know what the oil companies actually have in their fuel formulations. They were ordered or asked by government to remove sulfur as various finds of fuel oil has various levels of sulfur. Some a lot, some none at all. No proof it is needed. But it is a pain to remove, so stories are developed about the benefit of sulfur. A story is easier to write than get the stuff out. They once claimed that lead did a bunch of extra things for gas engines. Lead had to come out. So they found another chemical that does the same thing even though now engines are lower compression so less likely to knock or ping. There is no proof it does squat. The original diesel came from plants fermented and extracted on the farm, giving the farmer a cheap source of readily available fuel for his diesel engine tractor No sulfur there. It worked until the oil companies decided that they could extract the same type of fuel out of petroleum oils and sold it dirt cheap. Ergo, no one ferments or distills it out of hay straws anymore. You can run Mickey Dee's cooking oil once they done using it(as they do change the oil once in awhile) There is no sulfur there. In the winter the oil companies change to a kerosene/diesel blended fuel as diesel will gel. Gel in the fuel lines is no fuel to the engine. I would say running dry is more hurtful to the system. I understand sand is also hard on the system.
Best additive for a TDI as per the manual: nothing.
