Once you figure out your vehicle's personification, finding an appropriate name is easy. My truck is white and has over 325K miles so her name is Ol' Bessie (the cow). My Mercedes is green and slow so he's Yurtle (the turtle).
I recently had an engine swap and am selling the pulled 617.912 NA (non-turbo). It is a running engine as it was driven until the swap. It has the SLS (self leveling system) port for the wagon. It will fit any 300D NA from '77-'81. Recent valve adjustment. Compression numbers are...
SWEET DEAL! :hail
Yes. Mine is a reg cab and it's mounted under driver's door outside frame rail. Four plus years and no problems being there. I needed two U brackets for the Vormax so the e-brake cable could be behind it with no rubbing.
Dude that's what I have on my VO side. If you get it for a decent price you will be the proud owner of the best (coolant heated) filter head on the market. The first bowl spins out the debris. Then the Racor R90T filter (10 micron) has a water drain. You are a lucky guy if you put that on your...
There is an '83 300D Turbo parked next to my house that maybe is for sale. I'll probably be speaking to the owner tomorrow. Exterior is a medium blue. Lateral scratch from passenger side rear wheel well to front door. Interior looks OK but the driver's seat has a hole. Don't know about the A/C...
Check out this link describing the various stock fuel tanks for the '94-'97 OBS PSDs. Notice the last entry is for a REG CAB 4WD (F-250 & F-350) and it's plastic and the largest capacity of 22 gallons. That's what's on my truck. Every other front tank is steel and 19 gallons. So my...
VO + heat + oxygen + steel = polymerization
Go with plastic!!! I can't tell you how many OBS PSD owners running VO in steel tanks develop poly, but I can name at least four off the top of my head.
You don't have to drop the tank but you will need patience. After dosing the tank it's best to let the vehicle sit for a few days so the biocide can do its killing. Then the slime/fungus will fall of all surfaces and become part of the fuel and be carried to the filter. The patience comes in...
First off it's not algae. Algae needs sunlight. What you have is a fuel fungi or bacterial growth. The absolutely best product is Killem. I've used it in my Mercedes with phenomenal results. Once it's dead the fungi stops clinging to surfaces and is brought forward to the fuel filter.
As long as you name it Yertle, quick acceleration is not expected and you don't plan on hauling heavy loads up steep grades you'll love it and it will last forever.
Mechanical fuel pumps are between $81.99 and $99.99 and an electric fuel system will run close to $1,100. I've thought hard on upgrading but I get at least a year out of them running VO and I won't have this truck in 11 years so I'm happy to change mine every year. Heck I've done four fuel pumps...
I stopped using DCA4 and test strips years ago because I found a better product called RMI-25. First found it at dieselsite.com but Bob is no longer selling it. I now get it elsewhere.

All diesel makes and models with high mileage (>200,000miles) will make us look good. Lets show 'em our oil burner odometers. ;Sweet
