We have ignition!

Well, after having my car towed 45 miles to a garage in Fresno, the car started. Who knows what the problem was. I did learn from the mechanic that you don’t want to flood a diesel. If that happens, you can’t get compression and can’t start. Evidently that wasn’t the problem with my car. I am grateful that it wasn’t a costly repair.

The saga continues…

No Start!

My car won’t start! We had a couple of really cold days a week and a half ago. My car started, though it took several tries. I was bogging a bit, so I put some diesel in the tank to mix with the veg oil. It was around 40% diesel at that point. The car ran fine for a day or so and then, about 5 days ago, it just wouldn’t start. The battery is fine. It turns but won’t start up. My Davco filter is a little dirty but I don’t think it is clogged up with debris yet. I’ll try tomorrow in the warmest part of the day.

Hmmmmmm.
