yes I know this..................an improperly engine that is locked up wont need any BTU's is my piont
get the lubricity there and then add some methanol to up the BTU content eh |
Yep, I've been there done that 3 times but it wasnt from lack of lubricity. Well, it wasnt up to the point that a window was installed on the right cylinder bank of the block. :pca1:
Even running straight #2 diesel provides enough lubricity for the engine and fuel system. Using an additive is even better. |

Why should they have to? Why would I want to start with less power and try to compensate to make more. In the end you're still down on power by typically 10%.
What kind of fuel are you running? |
IIRC the older engines need to have a HFRR of around 300-325 like our old LSD had. Also I recall that the ULSD HFRR=636 is before lube is added to ULSD.
Here is what Cummins wants as of Oct 31, 2007 for diesel fuel and I assume it for the new 6.7L engine, its a good read I think anyway. http://www.maitlandelectric.com/truck/fuel.html |
Whit is right though. Some batches they add the package and some they dont. Its hit and miss as to whether you get a tank of ULSD that's been treated or not and the only way to know is to have an analysis done. I've actually considered doing it for about 5 tanks just to see how much difference there is between batches.
