Today the "new" Musso was missing badly on one pot. When I got it home, I lifted the bonnet to find a cracked injector line for #5 cylinder had sprayed fuel all over the engine. Fortunately, Veggie...

My first Musso had that issue also. I just had to park so that I didn't need Reverse to drive away (when engine was cold). Once the transmission was up to temperature it worked well in all gears.

JJ, I think that my budget is the cause of my need to fix vehicles. Being on a tight budget does not allow me to spend up big on the motoring front. I saved some cash from sales of chickens, sheep...

Thanks,
I would appreciate obtaining a replacement return line pressure relief valve. Can I pay you for it? I am happy to pay for the valve and postage and what you may like for the valve also.
I...

If anyone has had this issue with their Musso Automatic transmission and fixed it I would be grateful of any tips you can offer to overcome the transmission issues.
Thanks in Advance.

To get a part from any Dealership you need the VIN. The MB100 Van has a similar engine to the Musso, so I could get a MB100 van VIN to seek the correct part. That will be another avenue to obtain the...

Tilly,
Bosh have the IP serial number as an "Agent Only" line. This means that they are not allowed to supply any part for it. I can only get it from the Ssangyong dealership.
I have asked another...

Thanks for the photo. Unfortunately that will not work in the Musso / Rexton IP. :(
The attached photos show what it looks like.
The pale green seal appears to be a requirement for this part, in...

I have just had the first issue with the engine in my Rexton.
My wife and I were on our way to the pool on Christmas Eve to have a bit of exercise and when I stopped to reverse into the parking bay,...

Tilly,
Have you actually tried this procedure?
If not, perhaps you can try it yourself, rather than just putting it down as BS.
The only things you could possibly lose are the cost of ingredients...

Tilly,
did you get a photo of the filter?
I use a prefilter (same as on my old 300D) to catch the worst of the cr@p from the tank.
With my Mercedes cars, there was an initial cleaning of the...

How did the biocide go?

Hi Tilly, you are still kicking and not a COVID statistic yet, I see.
I have had the access to the tank sender open to check the sender low fuel light which was intermittent on my first Musso.
I...

Can you use the return line to get fuel to the engine? Swap the fuel delivery and return lines and disconnect the power to the in-tank fuel pump. Install a cheap inline fuel pump and a fuel strainer...

Are you going commercial on the snow globe market?

One of our WARFA members is using a room temperature process to make biodiesel.
He demonstrated it a few weeks ago and again last Sunday. It was simple and made good biodiesel in about the same time...

Biodiesel in the fuel tank does kill Diesel Bug, so does WVO.

I still use bog standard rubber fuel hose with WVO (blended with 10-14% ULP).
I have used it for years with no significant degradation.
Biodiesel, though, will degrade the rubber fuel hose rapidly.

If you are concerned with the water heater element overheating, you could use a "simmerstat" (ie stove element temperature control) to reduce the duty cycle of the element before the thermostat...

My veggie oil is long term settled then filtered thru a 10 micron mesh filter (lined with a T shirt material sock), then sits in 20L cubies for months before being put into my fuel tank. There is...

Why not get a few of these prefilters? They can be back flushed with petrol to clean them. They are the prefilter for a Mercedes 300D ('77-'84)

Biodiesel does not evaporate as fast as petroleum diesel as it has fewer volatile components.

I did search for making methylated seed oils.
The only information I could locate was:
"Methylated...

Of that I am not sure. Vegetable oils are derived mainly from the seeds of crops (eg Canola, Linseed, Grape seed, etc). Vegetable oils can be esterified to make biodiesel, using methanol and a strong...

Geoff,
I can see the post. Not sure why you can't

Johnnojack, Sorry to hear of your problems.
Please keep us informed of the diagnosis and resolution.
What was the issue your original pump?
