Been using a combo of Bio/Svo, 55/45 mix for the last 3 weeks now.
First 2 weeks Bio was from a seller on ebay in Nottingham (I mentioned it in another thread), Ive been using the same SVO from a local cash and carry (£15.99 for 20L).
Todays fillup was Bio from a different supplier, from Manchester, also on ebay, but again I used the same SVO as I have done in the previous fill ups.
Anyways, Changed the fuel filter after the first tankfull, as had been using a SVO/Derv mix previously to using Bio. When first used the SVO/Derv mix I added a little white spirit to help thin out the SVO, and the truck ran great (better than on neat Derv).
Since been using Bio, the truck has ran even better.
Filled her up today with 55/45 Bio/SVO, and decided to add a little white spirit and ATF fluid to the SVO before putting in the tank (recomended by a member on this forum, cant remember who though), I gave the bottle a good shake and the SVO turned a lovely pinkish/redish colour (I had to cover the drum in an old fleece jacket to hide the contents as if anybody had seen it would of looked liked I was using Red Derv!!).
Looked under the bonnet this morning before driving it anywhere and found a vac hose had come off, so refitted it. (its very small in legnth and it fits between a little valve and somewhere near the AT dip stick).
I ran an errand which was only about 10km at the most, and as expected the truck ran perfectly.
A bit later on I had to run another errand, and within 10 seconds of driving the strangest thing happened, my truck had a sudden power surge!! she pulled like a train, it is much more responsive and has a hell of alot more power, and I do mean there is a huge difference between it running yesterday, the first errand, and then the second errand!! I was completely amazed, I actually had the power to to use the kickdown and overtake some1 on the motorway, it has never been this fast and powerfull, even when running on neat Derv!!!
So please could some1 try and explain to me what the bloomin hell has given my truck a sudden burst of power??!! ( I say sudden, it did it for the entire 50km journey, and ive juts nipped around the block in before writting this post and it is still much more powerfully then this morning/yesterday)
1.Is it because Manchesters Bio is of better quailty than the Bio from Nottingham??
2. Is it because I have added a drop of whitespirit and ATF???
3. Has something suddenly become clean?
4. Is it because I have refitted the vac hose ( but this made no difference how the truck ran when I did the first errand)
Please help LOL!!
