@aki all is not lost. Might i interest you in a locally "mined" product in heavy use down here? It comes from the coconut tree, it is virtually harmless to the environment and it runs like magic on any diesel engine. It has the added bonus of exhaust smelling like pilau. :-) Talk to me if you need a daily, weekly or monthly delivery. anyway, onto smoing vehicles. I prefer troubleshooting like my high school power mechanics teacher taught me. first understand why its smoking, then track back from the exhaust. cleaning black smoke that has already gotten to the exhaust pipe is like sweeping dirt under the carpet. so, onto the basics: what causes black smoke? 1: incomplete combustion 2: contaminants in the air / fuel combustion mix. How can these happen: 1a) Incomplete combustion: -> poor timing. (the injectors should squirt fuel at the right time to allow complete combustion by the time the cycle is complete. -> too rich a mix (too much fuel ) possible culprits. ----------> injector pump. -----------> injector nozzles. ------------>leads (copper leads could be damaged by squeezing) 2a) contamination: -> bad fuel -> bad air (air cleaner dirty) Possible culprits: ----> your filling station. -----> your fuel tank. -------> your fuel cleaner. --------> your fuel lines. ----------> your air tract. ... more to come... tea break :-) On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 10:14 AM, King'ori Gitahi <kingorigitahi@ovi.com>wrote:

@Brainiac, lol! ati pilau smelling fuel, the stomach would complain each time I start the engine, especially lunch time.. :-)))) Trust me I covered all the options of a Compression Ignition Engine, including the EGR valve before I sent it for diagnostics. And because its all about Compression and PSI, there were not many options left. Also the place that my friend sent to had to answer various questions on if they had the diesel data on all the devices. Shell is using using some chemical agent ( its secret ) to attain some lean burn ratio on CI engines but because lean burn is dangerous to such as the pistons may melt when the turbo kicks in, it has done a very good job on its formula. Pls do tell about the Pilau Fuel. ( Mnazi variant? ) Rgds. On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 6:27 PM, [ Brainiac ] <arebacollins@gmail.com> wrote:

For clients that want biodiesel, we make that , but for you, ill let you in on a secret. search youtube for a guy called tony deamer from vanuatu. On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 7:11 PM, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:

Very nice! follow your passion... Question on the biodiesel, has it been tested on turbo-charged engines? As a matter of interest, what is the cost per litre? Kampai. :-) On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 7:17 PM, [ Brainiac ] <arebacollins@gmail.com> wrote:
