Biodiesel 101: In depth Step by step guide to making great, clean biodiesel. I have been running this almost exclusively in my car for years and almost 100,000 miles. Just watch out for cold temperatures. You have to mix with Petrol diesel and/or use biodiesel anti-gelling agents when temp gets around freezing.
Great video, just got my PPE all aluminum pan and going to change it today, ordered the Mopar gasket so there's no bullshit with it lining up also bought the zf trans fluid and a hand pump, this pan should hold 1.5 to 2 extra quarts of trans fluid. some say the pan acts as a heat sink and trans my run 15 or 20 degrees cooler. hope to see more eco diesel videos from you.
This will not work for modern diesel engines. New common rail designs need less than 5 microns for filtering to run at over 10k psi. But older, direct injection stuff it works pretty good.
I'm stumped with this on my 2000 Jetta TDI... my fans weren't kicking on so I checked the 30amp fuse on top of the battery and that was blown so I replaced it. Now the cooling fans kick on, and compressor clutch is turning, but air is still warm... also checked the fuses on the side dash compartment and those seem to be good... only things I can think of ate the relay or low freon
My 2014 1500 eco has 87,300 miles on it ... accelerated on the freeway to pass and the truck shuddered, threw the code and redlined! Off throttle, coasted and merged my way to right shoulder. Same thing. I can drive it but have to accelerate S.L.O.W.L.Y. else rpms just rev up. Turned off and on restart, it turns but sputters and eventually starts. Remote start works but it turns off after 10 seconds or so. I figure it's some sensor somewhere but at 87,000 miles, it surprising. Kind of like the four transfer cases that got swapped out in the first 18 months of ownership.
looks like i have the same year and same mileage you had at this time of the video but no crankshaft position sensor. any ideas as ive tryed cleaning air flow and the turbo sensor already. thanks!
For me, it was the crank position sensor. I ended up having to get it replaced. I had originally taken it to the shop for this issue as it left me stranded, but they did not replace it the first time. My dead giveaway was that was the code it was throwing both before and after coming from the shop (crank position sensor faulty). Good luck to ya.
@@allanmcilwain870 this is exactly what I think it's happening to me, I think I got oil in my crankshaft position sensor, I have the same problem on Startup
lee isenberg.... depends on how old it is. The newer vehicles yes its around 5 to 10 micron. On later videos you’ll see i pump the final product thru a 10micron filter into my car
hmm... all my fuses are ok. The fans turn on when the key is turned to 'accessory' while the AC button is on. That compressor just won't kick in. I was using the AC just a week or so ago and it pumped out plenty of cold air. I changed my windshield wiper mechanism last Thursday, I wonder if I damaged something. 🤔
Dave Bowman some other things that could be keeping your compressor form kicking on: the pressure switch, radiator temperature sensor, fan control module (contains the compressor relay) I suggest you first unplug the connection to the compressor and see if u have voltage with the AC switched on and car running.
@@allanmcilwain870 I took the skid plate off and immediately found the problem. Some critter had gotten up onto the skid plate and chewed through the wire leading to the compressor. I spliced it back together... now my A/C works again. Dang!! 🤣
Any ideas. When I turn on my ac and fan switch. The 2 cooling fans do kick on. But I tested no power going to the compressor. Replaced the 40amp fuse that was blown and the 30amp fuse is ok. Replaced the fcm already.
There's a couple other common issues. The pressure switch is one. It's a 3 prong and will hold the compressor out with too hi or too low of pressure. No way to jump it out. Also, there is a thermal cutoff of somekind located on the radiator. Something is holding out getting power to the comp. Could even be a bad AC button on your dash. Hope this helps
Tony is right, i dont understand that this movies have so little views in two years. Best series of movies about how to make biodiesel i have found on RU-vid. Great job Allan !
Thx Stockman’s. That’s why i made the video series. When I started trying to make biodiesel. I couldn find anything that had ALL the info and details I needed for the process start to finish
MrJeepin88 i would first put a voltmeter to the wires to your compressor. You should have 12V. If so, compressor has issues. If not, another common issues is with the pressure switch. I'm pretty sure the relay that sends power to the comp. is also in the FCM, so that could have an issue. There's also the 3 30amp fuses on top of your battery. Hope this helps.
My ac wasn't working either and fans were not working but knew they were good as I just replaced them... also replaced fan module, high low (thrust sensor), checked all fuses.... ended up being my ac condenser coil was shot. Bought a new clutch coil and clutch.... now all is well.
