As most modern day stuff the alternaters are temp compensated meaning as the temp rises the alternators output drops. This is ok as a cranking battery will still ful...

Re: Diesel - Which do you use which do you refuse to?

I think BP once advertised they tested fuel quality every morning? Hence the loyalty to it by some diesel owners. Shell I thought used bio-diesel as a under 5% additive. Either way, got a tank of Shell last week as a test, I think I can feel a difference. Mate ran Shell and noticed an improvement i...

Re: Diesel - Which do you use which do you refuse to?

No not really unless you live the outback of NT and can drive it hard. But then you use more fuel the best way is to modify. The modifications I did cannot be seen from a visual look they are internal. EGR blanking plate? Cheers... Con EGR blanking plate will automatically throw a code in a hilux. ...

Re: Diesel - Which do you use which do you refuse to?

Kickinback here is a picture of the green diesel I mentioned in a post in another thread last time everyone discussed diesel. It is not the most accurate representation of its colour but you get the idea(ie it is definitely not yellow). This has been the best diesel both power and economy(noticeabl...

Re: Diesel - Which do you use which do you refuse to?

The most common problem with common rail diesels is blocked up intake manifold. This is due to the egr, pcv and intake throttle butterfly. So when when the engine is idling or highway cruising with light throttle the butterfly closes and at the same time the egr opens. So with this combined with th...

Re: Diesel - Which do you use which do you refuse to?

I mostly use Shell. I do have to laugh when I see BP, Mobil and Cootes and other contract tankers who supply Caltex, Shell, Mobil 7eleven, United, Apco etc servos tankers driving in and out of the Shell Refinery in Geelong.
