For those of you who want to know, here is the latest on my GQ....
1) engine is definately idling smoother.
2) engine idle increased 300rpm after first 220kms running biodiesel.
3) there is a noticable increase in power, esp down low to mid range. (very happy with it now)
4) Drove it hard heading
home..esp up bulli pass, noticed temp guage did not go anywhere near half way (usually hammering up that
hill in 5th gear, its between half and just under 3/4. I am very impressed.
5) Definately NO BLACK SMOKE AT ALL under load now.
6) I havent used up my first tank yet but i will do so either tomorrow or saturday.
Its a bit hard to give you all info on fuel economy as i spend last weekend down at Yalwal and surrounding areas. So low range was used quite abit thus more fuel used. BUT including Yalway weekend, Its all looking good so far, will probably clock up 950kms by time i fill it. If this is close to what im expecting, its heaps better than what id get out of a tank or diesel.
Dont take that as gospel just yet ok...i will let you all know as soon as i calculate it within the next 2 days.
But just for the record, its heaps better, a definate improvement all round..and i mean all round so far. Fuel filter is still spotless. But carrying a spare just incase.
It just feels so much more like a complete car now. I am very happy with the improvements, would definately suggest you give it a go. More to come.
