update on Yelley - originally posted 08_14_07

Since I've started using the biodiesel, I've noticed the Benz stuttering a bit on starts, a bit bigger exhuast cloud, and poorer mileage. From what I've read, the Bio-D actually cleans the engine, removing decades of grime from petro-diesel use. All that gunk needs to go somewhere - into the fuel filter, clogging it and resulting (somehow) in the above symptoms.

I've bought the filters. Next step is to get them changed, and to have the mechanic show me how to do it myself!

You can follow my adventure on this calendar while I'll be listing all the momentous events of me and Yelley!

(I never ended up updating progress on the car. Just keep posting here...)
