Biodiesel 101: In depth Step by step guide to making great, clean biodiesel. I have been running this almost exclusively in my car for years and almost 100,000 miles. Just watch out for cold temperatures. You have to mix with Petrol diesel and/or use biodiesel anti-gelling agents when temp gets around freezing.

ZF 8HP70 transmission
Fluid- ZF Lifeguard 8
Loosen the fill plug on the side.
Drain and drop the pan on a cool day with cool vehicle
Clean up gasket and gasket surface
Prep and clean new pan with new gasket and filter. Use clean transm fluid to lubricate all rubber gaskets and o-rings
Install new pan being sure to line up filter before pushing in
Tighten and torque T40 torx pan bolts in a criss cross pattern. Torque is around 10ft-Lbs (Im going off of memory).
TRANSMISSION OIL MIST BE LESS THAN 120F BEFORE FINAL FLUID LEVEL CHECK.
If it gets hotter than this, you will need to turn key off and wait several hours for it to cool back down.
With transmission level and rear wheels up off the ground, fill with fluid until it pours out the fill port
Start the truck and immediately go back under and fill again until fluid comes out the fill port with engine running.
Lightly install fill plug
Back in truck, cycle thru all gears for about 5 seconds each. Then go to drive, turn off traction control and press pedal until it shifts to second gear.
Shift back to neutral, then back to park.
MAKE SURE TRANSMISSION OIL IS STILL LESS THAN 120F
With vehicle still running, check fluid level one last time and top off thru the fill port.
Install fill port plug and tighten.
Drop truck back down and test drive.

Bad Diesel fix from stalling part 2. Fix with Seafoam injector flush.
Переглядів 3672 роки тому
So…. I thought i had fixed it ok in my fist vid when i added a can of cetane boost. Nope, still stalling. So what ended up working for me… i got that tank to mostly burn thru (with lots more stalls), refilled with clean diesel, added a can of diesel sludge/ water tank cleaner, and 4 cans of sea-foam. Was still stalling, so i added another half of a big can of seafoam and dropped the fuel filter...
Bad Diesel fix from hard start and stalling at idle

Added some bad diesel to top off a 22 gal tank. Next mornin- hard start and dod not want to keep running. When i say i was stalling… i probably stalled 30 times in my 30 min commute to work. Every time i slowed down and the rpms went down, it stalled. Tried to just drive around to burn it out, but really couldn’t keep it running more than a few min at a time. Got it down to 3/4 a tank….

After checking transmitters and readings, everything looked pretty good. Plugged in an OBD tool, and it read “crank position sensor A”. I had actually taken the truck to the dealership a few weeks before because the crank position sensor failed and left me stranded on the road. I had assumed they had fixed it, but when I brought it back this time and discussed, they said they had only done a so...

Biodiesel 101: Step 13- Fuel Up
Переглядів 2247 років тому
Fuel up your diesel car, truck, generator, or tractor. Works great in temp.s above freezing, but around freezing you will need anti-gelling agents. Below freezing will require mixing with petrol diesel. Biodiesel's solvent nature will clean out your engine and fuel tank. Be prepared to change fuel filters. www.Utahbiodieselsupply.com has great designs and tutorials, www.Dudadiesel.com is a grea...

Great video, just got my PPE all aluminum pan and going to change it today, ordered the Mopar gasket so there's no bullshit with it lining up also bought the zf trans fluid and a hand pump, this pan should hold 1.5 to 2 extra quarts of trans fluid. some say the pan acts as a heat sink and trans my run 15 or 20 degrees cooler. hope to see more eco diesel videos from you.
This will not work for modern diesel engines. New common rail designs need less than 5 microns for filtering to run at over 10k psi. But older, direct injection stuff it works pretty good.
Did you have to pay the dealer for the repairs for the cps?
Mine is only the small fan kicking on, but all fuses are good. Will likely mean the big fan is bad I assume? It needs to be both fans kicking on?
I'm stumped with this on my 2000 Jetta TDI... my fans weren't kicking on so I checked the 30amp fuse on top of the battery and that was blown so I replaced it. Now the cooling fans kick on, and compressor clutch is turning, but air is still warm... also checked the fuses on the side dash compartment and those seem to be good... only things I can think of ate the relay or low freon
It's a nice processor... Can you please send me your processor design to me??
Thanks for the whole series you made. It's outstanding.
Those vapors are hydrogen, you should capture them and use them for power or bubbling back throught the BD... thank you :D
Hii it is possible to check biodiesel in lab 🧫
it said u had 0 RPM on your scanner. dead giveaway.
Update? Been a year since any of your videos...
My 2014 1500 eco has 87,300 miles on it ... accelerated on the freeway to pass and the truck shuddered, threw the code and redlined! Off throttle, coasted and merged my way to right shoulder. Same thing. I can drive it but have to accelerate S.L.O.W.L.Y. else rpms just rev up. Turned off and on restart, it turns but sputters and eventually starts. Remote start works but it turns off after 10 seconds or so. I figure it's some sensor somewhere but at 87,000 miles, it surprising. Kind of like the four transfer cases that got swapped out in the first 18 months of ownership.
That's actually pretty smart 👍
Tone Ring failure?
Can you please send me your email address
looks like i have the same year and same mileage you had at this time of the video but no crankshaft position sensor. any ideas as ive tryed cleaning air flow and the turbo sensor already. thanks!
Are you getting ANY trouble codes? Or just the SERVICE ELEC THROTTLE light on dash?
Was your check engine for?
Ok
This wound up being the crank position sensor indeed. Stealership replaced that and it runs fine.
Hi. Did you figure it out? As of yesterday, I have the exact same issue with my 2016 Eco. Very interested obviously if you Identified the issue
For me, it was the crank position sensor. I ended up having to get it replaced. I had originally taken it to the shop for this issue as it left me stranded, but they did not replace it the first time. My dead giveaway was that was the code it was throwing both before and after coming from the shop (crank position sensor faulty). Good luck to ya.
@@allanmcilwain870 this is exactly what I think it's happening to me, I think I got oil in my crankshaft position sensor, I have the same problem on Startup
I got the same issue this morning did you fix the problem just replacing the sensor
Nice bro
Those are some cool looking hoses I would like to get some of those, where did you get those thanks
Any way to test if your pressure switch is bad?
Not really. Its a 3 prong switch that has both hi and low press cut off, so it not like u can just jump across it.
Future videos/clips; hold the camera/phone Sideways, NOT vertical, makes a better video.
I thought diesel fuel filters were finer like at least about 10-5 microns? Thanks for sharing.
lee isenberg.... depends on how old it is. The newer vehicles yes its around 5 to 10 micron. On later videos you’ll see i pump the final product thru a 10micron filter into my car
Man so cool thanks for sharing this
hmm... all my fuses are ok. The fans turn on when the key is turned to 'accessory' while the AC button is on. That compressor just won't kick in. I was using the AC just a week or so ago and it pumped out plenty of cold air. I changed my windshield wiper mechanism last Thursday, I wonder if I damaged something. 🤔
Dave Bowman some other things that could be keeping your compressor form kicking on: the pressure switch, radiator temperature sensor, fan control module (contains the compressor relay) I suggest you first unplug the connection to the compressor and see if u have voltage with the AC switched on and car running.
Thanks for that info. Is the compressor connector right down there on the compressor or is it someplace else? Thanks again!
@@allanmcilwain870 I took the skid plate off and immediately found the problem. Some critter had gotten up onto the skid plate and chewed through the wire leading to the compressor. I spliced it back together... now my A/C works again. Dang!! 🤣
Amazing, can i get ur contact person bro?
Any ideas. When I turn on my ac and fan switch. The 2 cooling fans do kick on. But I tested no power going to the compressor. Replaced the 40amp fuse that was blown and the 30amp fuse is ok. Replaced the fcm already.
There's a couple other common issues. The pressure switch is one. It's a 3 prong and will hold the compressor out with too hi or too low of pressure. No way to jump it out. Also, there is a thermal cutoff of somekind located on the radiator. Something is holding out getting power to the comp. Could even be a bad AC button on your dash. Hope this helps
Tony is right, i dont understand that this movies have so little views in two years. Best series of movies about how to make biodiesel i have found on UA-cam. Great job Allan !
Thx Stockman’s. That’s why i made the video series. When I started trying to make biodiesel. I couldn find anything that had ALL the info and details I needed for the process start to finish
thanks a ton, fuse on the battery for me. glad I watched this before going to the shop :)
what batterie did you put in?
MrDuc1979 don't recall. Regular replacement. Nothing special
My fans are coming on but compressor not kicking in any help would be great
MrJeepin88 i would first put a voltmeter to the wires to your compressor. You should have 12V. If so, compressor has issues. If not, another common issues is with the pressure switch. I'm pretty sure the relay that sends power to the comp. is also in the FCM, so that could have an issue. There's also the 3 30amp fuses on top of your battery. Hope this helps.
My ac wasn't working either and fans were not working but knew they were good as I just replaced them... also replaced fan module, high low (thrust sensor), checked all fuses.... ended up being my ac condenser coil was shot. Bought a new clutch coil and clutch.... now all is well.
Kevin A you mean your ac clutch. The condenser should not have any coil related parts inside it ?
compressor clutch do you mean? condensers dont have any "coils "?
Outstanding series of clips Allan. Best I've seen yet.
