No, it is not clear.



Only because you refuse to read the documents. If you don't read them how do you expect to understand? ;)



If you had done your homework you would know that the pumps affected 20 years ago were rotary pumps, not p-pumps and certainly not VP-44s.



20 years? The Bosch approved study was published in 2003, based on samples collected in the summer of 2002, tested using standard ISO methods, and covers VE-VP-CR fuel systems. That is all in the documents you didn't read. Again. :-laf



A reasoning individual might ask "Why is the P7100 not included in this study?". A reasoning individual that knew anything about a P7100 pump would deduce it is not mentioned because it is not 100% fuel lube like the other noted systems and not subject to the SAME requirements. A reasoning individual would deduce that fuel that will cause excessive wear in ALL the other systems WILL eventually cause excessive wear in the places fuel is relied on for lube in the P7100. A reasoning individual would note that has been emphasised over an over. A reasoning individual. :D



That is wrap for the Holiday Drama marathon. Stay tuned for the next installment of As The Pump Turns that addresses the social stigma of FUEL FILTRATION. :--) Gonna be a hot subject... ... .

I have read them, and I have yet to find anything that states ULSD from the pump does not meet Bosch lubricity specs. Since you are so smart, and I am so dumb, please highlight that information for me.



è Sweden introduced sulphur-free fuels in 1990,

California followed in 1993 with low-sulphur fuels

® Failures of fuel-lubricated injection pumps (for passenger

and light duty vehicles)

è Lubricity identified as cause

® Hydroprocessing for desulphurization reduces lubricity

enhancing fuel components




That part is lessons learned when LSD was introduced 20+ years ago. I guess you missed that.



So, where is the study that shows ULSD from the pump needs to have additional additives? As the commercial goes, show me the beef!
 
Just a thought!!! Being a former Californian I might suggest you get the statement correct, you posted
As the commercial goes, show me the beef!

Show me the beef, being the part of the statement that is in question?
In California you say that and MORE THAN LIKELY SOMEONE WILL!!!!

It should have been said WHERE'S THE BEEF!!!! and in California they wouldn't be able to come up with any!!!

It doesn't take me too many times through the drive-thru window to realize that the order can get screwed up. Where's the fries, where's the pickle, who's order is this anyway? Did they spit in my food because I'm in uniform? It's just a safe practice to go inside and watch to make sure it's done right. Or, in the case of additives, to add my own and be sure. Call me a cousin of chicken lickin'. Ed

BTW, here is a hint, before you post another pontification. That study, complete with pictures and graphs, was published years before ULSD was on the market.



I stand corrected. WHERE'S THE BEEF?Oo.
 
I'm reminded of the golf pro who was helping the lady in a skirt. While helping her with her swing, he looked down and saw that his fly was down. When he yanked it up, it got caught in her shirt. Try as he might to free it up - it was hung! Back to the club house they went - one behind the other, and trying to stay in step to keep from tripping on the other's feet. When almost back to the club house, a dog ran out of the woods and threw a bucket of water on them!



Hmmm. Ed
 
I suppose we've all come to the end of this thread. I hope RVnwithRAM has decided what he's going to do as far as putting his truck back in service. I think he can probably find a better additive than SeaFoam if he tries to use one but again that's my opinion. I evidently prefer those that I have trouble finding, but I try to stay out of WalMart. Stanadyne, Racor, Amalgamated, and Power Service are just a few of those that our members talk about the most. So bear with me one more time as I leave with the final laugh:



Old Sam was in the suds pretty good when one of his friends sneaked out of the bar and turned the saddle around backwards on his horse. His buddies didn't see him for several weeks until they were all standing around ouside the saloon and saw Sam riding down the middle of the road on his horse.

"Sam, come on in the bar and have a drink with us".

"It ain't gonna happen!"

"Sam, how come?"

"The last time I was drinking with you all, you got me drunk, and then one of you snuck outside and cut my horse's head off. Hell! I had to lead him home with my finger in his windpipe!"



Have a great day! Ed
 
You are right, we certainly went off the track. If I had fuel that was almost a year old I would be inclined to drain and dispose it. Too much chance for water and/or algae contamination.
