When a diesel runs out of fuel it allows air to enter the pressurized fuel lines. The air pressure does not allow the fuel to re enter the engine in a constant flow. Therefore the engine receives only a partial charge of fuel. The fuel pump and lines must be bled of any air. The other possibility is sludge contamination. When you run a diesel "dry" you can suck the sludge that accumulates in all diesel fuel tank into the fuel filter, fuel lines, and even into the injector assemblies. Over the counter DIY flushes, combined with changing the fuel filter, will sometimes fix the problem. Most times a professional system flush is required.

What happens if you put perol in diesel car then oil as well after running it fot 1000 miles now the warning light comes on and run sluggish.if i get a flush will the car run normally again?
If you drove a diesel for 1,000 miles with gasoline in the tank, then, depending on the amount of diesel you put in the tank, you may have done some serious damage to the injector pump. Drain the tank of all fuel and the fill it up with diesel. You will know very soon if damage was done.

How to heat your home with a Bio-Diesel generator?
Are you running into higher utility bills while trying to heat your home? Did you know that you could use a bio-diesel generator in place of the regular one and save a lot of money and energy? Here is a step-by-step guide on how to heat you home using a bio-diesel generator. Step 1 The first step is for you to contact a good electrician and determine the amount of energy that your house consumes, with all the appliances running, in a day. The consumption required would be calculated by the electrician based on the size of your house, your lifestyle and the number of electrical appliances that are being used. Step 2 Search for a diesel generator in your locality and purchase it. You can easily find one at a store that sells lawn mowers. Step 3 Once you have purchased the diesel generator, your electrician can install it following the instructions supplied by the generator manufacturer. Step 4 Once the installation is complete, fill up the generator’s tank with diesel. Turn on all the appliances that you will be using regularly in your house and start running the generator. Step 5 When you complete the above step, you will be in a comfortable position, as you will know that all your home appliances are working properly when used with a diesel generator. It’s now time to convert your diesel generator to run on bio-diesel. Even as the generator is running on diesel, fill up the tank by slowly pouring bio-diesel. Step 6 You can easily find out the difference when your generator starts to function entirely on bio-diesel. The hum that the generator produces while running on normal diesel will be a bit louder while the hum will be smoother and quieter when running on bio-diesel. Another way to find this out is by smelling the exhaust. When the generator runs on bio-diesel you will be able smell sweetness. Step 7 Periodically monitor and maintain your generator properly. When your family size increases you must also replace your existing generator with a more powerful one. You will be able to save more by turning off your bio-diesel generator whenever your house is empty. You will actually get addicted to bio-diesel when you start receiving lower utility bills.
