Title: Newbie, with a 1988 Peugeot 309 1.9L Diesel(Import from UK)
Post by: shogunb on January 07, 2008, 10:28:10 PM
Got a peugeot 309 1.9l diesel off of trademe as test car for some nice fuel.
Brought "as is where is", need a windscreen if anyone has one. Mine has a big crack through it.

Built a stainless heat exchange which is piped into the air heater for the car, currently using to 1/4" bsp "ode" direct piloting valves for switching between motor oil and diesel oil. idles fine, bit rough if you switch off diesel/ switch on to oil to quick as it increases the load on the Lucas Cav pump.

Next i will lag all of the pipes with insulation of sometype. Need to manufacture a 3 way switch which is heated. To decrease the loss of heat through the valve.

In need of one front windscreen.

Cheers

Shogun

My Mi16 had the same treatment, funnily enough the day before I sold it...
