I would be a bit concerned using diesel if hydraulics are involved, as diesel explodes on compression, and while it is very unlikely that a hydraulic system will reach even close to that pressure, I wasn't prepared to take that risk. Especially with the addition of alcohol. My tractor uses the transmission oil for all the hydraulic systems.
nevermind.
if you are concerned with diesel reachin combustion temps and pressures in your hyd system.. and or the additio of alcohol to absorb moisture ( commercially sold to do so ).. then we don't need to be talking.
You might want to stay inside and make sure the black helicopters cant see you.. the tin foil hat may not need to be worn.. but won't hurt!
SSeriousoly though.. I was having a borring night, thanks forthe pickmeup. Reading that reply was the most entertainment I had all night. i gotta go forward this link to all my tractor buddies.
just for kicks.. what psi do you think yer diesel fuel injectors work at? ( i've seen pressures in the 1000-1800 BAR ) now i'm afraid to go start my truck or tractor due to t
he extreme pressure the fuel will be at when injected into the cyl... great! now I gotta walk home to keep my powerstroke from blowing up from the extreme fuel pressure!
