[Volvoist]

Hello, I am a new member of the D24T.com board, but not new to D24/D24T's. I live in the Wilmington, Delaware area but also have a home in Westport, Pennsylvania where we are moving to full time shortly. I have owned at least 15 diesel powered Volvo in the past 7 years or so, both 200's and 700's, sedans and wagons. I also have owned countless Volvos, mainly 200 series in that time as well. I drive an 87 245 5 speed that my inlaws bought new and I have an 83 242. My current D24 project is an '82 244 diesel that I picked up not running in Richmond from a friend. Seems that it had some sort of homebrew biodiesel in it. One day it would not start (I suspect the glow plug relay which I have since cleaned and fixed), and the tank is a mess now as is the pump. I have it apart and will replace the timing belts this weekend and re-seal a known good pump that has been in storage for 15+ years. I also have a good used tank to swap in. I am also buying Eli's '82 245 diesel and plan to get that running as well and give that to my wife to drive. Are there any members that live close by me?
