All this talk about biology and multiplication got me thinking about high temperatures and the failure.
Do we have a biological cause here?
Go to the states with the highest rates of failure...are they places with mandatory biodiesel content?
No... California and it's oil lobby was quick to work with CARB to shut down biodiesel as a fuel, it was ruled to only be allowed as a fuel extender or an additive, to use it neat, one had to get a form filled out that they knew it was an experimental fuel only, and that one was on their own if fuel systems damage occurred.
I need to know specifics.
Is 5% biodiesel B05 allowed to be sold in diesel?
Is there anything to do with biodiesel use?
In the surveys provided by TDIclub, almost to a one, everyone that had a HPFP used zero additives.
I am distrustful of the surveys --- people are not going to report they did something they suspect is cause of failure.
This is not good data
