Hi All,
I have been running chicken fat through a heat exchanger in the Triton 4d56 motor1991, as well as my Shibaura Stationary Generator Motor and it has been working superbly, however the other day I did something very stupid when I went to a mates place thinking to be there 10 min and was there 3 hours in between time the outside temperature dropped with oil still in the injector system needless to say the 100k trip home was very very slow and painful not to mention the difficulties of even getting the motor started. Top speed 70k and more smoke and smoke pillowing out of the exhause even though I had changed back to Diesel. Then proceeded to try and use injector cleaner nothing worked Had no hair dryer so couldn't blow dry the injector pump to hopefully melt the oil which was clogging the injector pump. Had come to the point where I was looking to replace the injector pump itself. Non available some close but not the exact model number. Needless to say nearly bald by this time, I had been following the exploits of Craig with his Suburban and was impressed with the faith he displayed in the CEM products. I contacted Craig and asked him about the products and was further fortified by his response, so I then rang the company itself. They were very very helpful and took the time to answer any questions I threw at them and they don't call me "Have a Chat" for nothing.
Here was my problem I had determined that it was the injector pump that was partially blocked and whiles sometime I would get to 2400rpm as soon as it went under Load it would drop back to between 1900 and 2000 rpm a top speed of 70k and any load at all slowed it down even further. As some of you know I am not flush with money so the choice was either another injector pump ( not quite the same Model) and many hours work trying to fit it with no experience of doing this or the fuel treatments I didn't have funds for both.
If this worked as I hoped it would even if it took a couple of tank fulls to work at least the problem was solved and I could then use it on my old diesels to help improve them. I am a health Surveyor by profession which means nothing in the scheme of things. But one thing they did impress on us over 2 years of study and it was this "Prevenitive Medicine is cheaper and more effective than curative Medicine ".
So we brought the CEM products. So at this point I am going to either tell you it was a waste of $220 or not.
I am extremely pleased to say that within 90k the motor was performing better that when we bought the vehicle 4000 k earlier. Where earlier it was a struggle to reach 100k, now I was having to take my foot of the accelerator as I had reached 110k no longer was my foot sore from being at full pedal coming home. There seemed to be much more power and the reaction time to reach 2500 rev's was much quicker and the vehicle much more responsive and powerful the type of response I had expected but not recieved previously.
Before when I accelerated in 1st and 2nd there was a plume of some when I had a load on and it had a blue tinge now the plume is smaller and it is more grayish. I might have to go to a heaver grade of Oil and stabliser to overcome this or it could be just the deposits being blown out.
All I can say at this point is that the Injector cleaner and decarboniser are working wonderfully. I will further try it in my tired old Stationary motor we are using for the generator and will keep you informed.
Whilest the problem was fully self inflected I am very pleased with what has transpired with the additives and it may turn out to be a blessing in disguise as preventing motor failure and increasing usable life is better than rebuilding them before there time.
