Bio/diesel lubricant properties
« 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!

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".
