Hi from the Netherlands

[contitour]

Hello everyone,

I'm Bouke from the Netherlands. I run a small shop witch specializes in Volvo 700/900 series. I've got a lot of customers who own a 700/900 diesel. My girlfriend drives a 740 gle '86 diesel and I drive a 965 '91 (a rare model) diesel.

I like fiddeling around with the d24 engines and pumps. My 965 is currently running on 50% diesel and 50% old engine oil (don't try this at home, it takes a lot of fiddeling to get good results and you can destroy your engine:cool:)

I'm new too, but welcome to the site. There's good info here.

I really like your 50/50 fuel blend. Do you have a link to a site that might describe how this is done without destroying the engine?

Diesel in the 1980's was more like a fuel/oil than it is now and I'd like to recreate that without pouring new engine oil into the fuel tank. I currently put in one two two quarts of cheap non-synthetic 30W every time I fill the tank.

Must be nice to live in a place where you can survive only working on Volvo 7/9 cars.... wish it were possible to do that here! :)

Glad to have you aboard -- being a specialist, you probably have a great deal of experience to contribute with these cars. Welcome!
