Tony the original pump did a similar thing, it was pretty dirty when I took it apart, had the layer of brown gunk on every surface. Also the rollers were a bit corroded, got new ones for $80. Didn’t...

Tony I reckon this is not the first time you’ve fixed a car fault by buying another car. I’m not sure where you have the greatest skills, fixing cars or buying bargains. If you want to get out of...

Tony can you put the new wrong one in a lathe and turn a groove for an O ring? If you can’t get the right one that is.

Why don’t you just convert the Rodeo to a 2 tank system Ethan? Lot less work than making bio all the time.

I get the Goss hose from Sprint. Started off at $6/ m but is about $11 now
For clamps avoid the worm drive radiator hose type clamps, they just don’t work well at small sizes. I use the ones with a...

Fuel hose
I used to get plain old stuff, it swelled, got sticky, then leaked, barely lasted a year. Then I tried Goss fuel injection hose. Lasts at least 3 years then slowly goes a little bit...

Took assembled pump to diesel shop who checked it over then put it on test bench and set it up. That cost $550 but we did save $1500 on diesel on just the recent trip, so still in front. Removed old...

Got home last week after 6000 km mostly on vege oil. Car developed a problem, wouldn’t start when hot on diesel and finally refused to start at all unless given a small dash of petrol on air filter...

Reached Mataranka where I have been able to get oil from shop attached to BP. About 30 20 litre drums of cottonseed oil about 2/3rds full, some with no lids, most with some water on the bottom. By...

We are currently travelling to Mataranka from Adelaide towing a camper with 2 others using dino. 2900ks so far on oil, picked up some at Alice. Hard to get good stuff.

Good to see you back Tilly, love the horses. Not much else happening here atm.

Single tank? So I presume you can use dino or vege oil, but not both. Doesn’t sound like value for money at $1500. Or am I missing something?

Getting less oil but using a lot less. I had 16 cubies filled to take away Easter, was going to an event on NSW Sth coast but it was cancelled. Now not even game to go on a drive to Victor Harbor...

Car running better now, easy starting, less missing, less smoke for the neighbours. Uses about 4 litres of diesel every couple of months.

Diesel $1.17 at our local Liberty servo today. Petrol 87

By up to Gen5 you mean including Gen5 ?

No I don't but the Gen4 Passat should have PumpeDuse injectors which should be be more forgiving of less than perfect fuel than common rail.

Yep that's the pump to get. Go to Pirtek or similar shop and buy some 13mm hose barbs as the ones supplied are too small for common hose like garden hose.

Have done trips to Darwin, Cape York, The Kimberleys The Pilbara and Lorella Springs on the Gulf collecting oil along the way. All these trips were about 7000 to 85000ks. I have a 12v gear pump which...

All done, I used my last 2 spare LPG valves , only had to buy one Tee piece and a couple of hose barbs. One solenoid valve controls return back to oil tank, (main tank) and one for diesel which I've...

Will this forum go the same way? Lately there has been about as much traffic here as the Canning stock route in January.

Tony I did a rough check and found that about 0.5 litres per minute returned from the pump at idle, I suspect some even when the car was ready to start, ignition on and facet pump ticking away. When...

Question. Since my 'conversion' hasn't extended to looping the return or changeover solenoids on the return, will I lose much diesel back to the oil tank when switched to diesel? Will this be made...

Ok the time has come to go 2 tanks. Despite having a 20 km highway commute and never doing short cold engine trips the condition of my engine has become intolerable. Missing on starting which...

Bueff the yellow cubies will leak if you don't have the clear plastic seal which goes under the screw cap. Unfortunately most cooks chuck them away, so it is possible you have never seen one. I hang...
