Title: Bio/diesel lubricant properties
Post by: Julian on September 02, 2016, 10:04:05 PM
Currently helping a mate to fix a HPFP on his Tiguan which he's running on Dino Diesel.

We had a jar of diesel and a jar of bio on the bench so I tried sticking a finger in each jar and rubbing finger and thumb together ... I know bio is said to have better lubricant properties than diesel, but the difference was quite remarkable.

If I had a car running a pump at 26,000 psi, I know which fuel I'd use!

Its bloody obvious he is measuring the lubricity it must be the index finger.

I don't know ... you try and disseminate interesting experiences and all you get is a barrage of abuse!

Errrrrrrrrrrr!

To decimate is to remove/eliminate 10% of something.

And now the pedants have escaped ... I think you know I meant disseminate.  Spell check error.  My shallowest and most insincere apologies!

If you remove/eliminate 10% of something. Would the result be omething. ??

You only got yourself to blame when the pedantic old bugger comes back and tells you that's 11.1%

Ah ... the dot!

He'd tell you that's not part of the word.  But for my part I'm more than happy for it to be included.

If you  include the tittle/glyph (the dot above the I) then removing a single letter would equate to 9.01% there for NOT decimating the word "something".
