A MOTOR STORY

Greetings folks, This is a story about excess, we were buying 4 cylandar diesel long blocks for $ 100 a piece and taking home heating oil purchaced at 69 cents a gallon bulk, and experimenting, soon we were able to jam a motor into a 1982 volkswagen vanagon and put it to the test. And test we did, motor after motor, oil after oil, trailor after trailor,I found a good combination of both. Motor was running good and mileage was impressive too.
One day I was doing my laundry and I added some bleach to my detergent, the liquid mix turned from blue to red, a chemical reaction I said, and the cloths turned out smellin super clean for days. I said what if I add this to my fuel? So i did, the mileage increased dramitically, I drove from northern connecticut on a cold 10 degree night to washington dc in eight hours on one tank in my 4 cylandar diesel van. I was happy, till the oil pressure started dropping to zero bar and the hydrolic lifters started barking. I later found I needed a turned crank another $ 1000 dollars. I went shopping for a new car. Its a great idea as long as your car is able to handle the extremes, but most today are not, a lesson learned. Next time we shall have a story about filters.
