Diesel Viscosity: Blends with Crude Oil

Hello,

The following links were mentioned to me some time ago in the Fatty-Fuels forum.
From the diagrams, everyone can draw their own conclusions about how much more stress a fuel injection pump experiences when using a thicker fuel.



Mixing at a constant temperature, with a defined flow rate through a specific opening:


Best regards, Rainer.

Let's just say:

I would definitely not recommend using P-oil with a VP37-EDC at temperatures below 70°C.

I don't think the hub and bearing will last very long.

By the way, adding gasoline to diesel is almost as prohibited as using heating oil itself.

Not only are the impeller and bearing ring subjected to higher loads; ultimately, the increased pressure, acting as a torque peak, is supported by the pump drive wheel.

In plain terms, this means that the timing belt is subjected to greater stress due to higher torque peaks, and it may be advisable to replace it prophylactically a bit earlier (especially when operating primarily on vegetable oil).
