GL: What the hey r we gonna do now

[Ed Laning]

In addition to the fuel lines the other rubber parts that will be affected
are the ones inside the injection pump. They deteriorate and start leaking
internally and externally. The injection pump must then be torn down by a
qualified technician and new seals installed. Seals made of Viton are then
installed. Parts and labor are not inexpensive when it comes to injection
pumps on a diesel. The part of the story they dont tell you is that it
takes a dedicated workshop area where its okay if you make a mess. It
requires lots of various containers, exposing yourself to chemicals like
methanol and sodium hydroxide, lots of labor time to make the fuel to SAE
standards (like about a half hour per gallon); and on top of that its
getting very difficult to locate waste fryer oil that isnt already spoken
for. Bottom line; I personally dont think it is an idea thats suitable for
someone out cruising. YMMV Ed
