snake Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 not sure,what would it improve/help? i think older diesels were made to run on fuel which contained sulphur and now that diesel from the pump doesnt contain it, some seals can fuck out alot quicker. so a substitute would fix that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteretep Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 what happens to the engines exactly? my dad has a 96 prado diesel, would like to see if it will be a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 nothing happens to the engines. just that the seals in the injector pump can begin to leak if the pump hasnt been serviced in ages. no biggy etc. other countries have been on low sulphur for years, hence why you see alot of jap import diesels smoking 'ardcore. our diesel = shit, even now. 'tis good for the euro diesels though i guess, more will filter through now that we have half pie decent diesel. awesome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 just out of interest does it affect the seals for the pump in the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 generally diesels don't have a lift pump in the tank. i guess some of the later EFI comon rail diesels perhaps do but most run a lift pump in the injector pump which draws fuel from the tank....

v3k Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I think the reason they shit out it that older rubber seals are sulphur crosslink (= the rubber is cooked with sulphur in it) and modern ones use peroxide cures.... ANYWAY - I think they way they remove sulphur is by adding stuff to the fuel.... that 'captures' sulphur- = sulphur pulled out of old seals = they fall apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 O/T: Just to be pedantic, the internation standard way of spelling the word changed from sulphur to sulfur in 1990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v3k Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 LMAO @ me..... I work with it all day, spell it Sulfur all day... then shank it here - well done. Anyway - As far as finding a sulfur substitute - I dont think the sulfur in fuel is free sulfur. Its bound up with the rings and chains of the bits that make fuel up. So I dont think adding sulfur in will fix your problem (selenium or Tellurium will bond preferentially with the stuff that removes sulfur - if Im right with that being the problem - but its would be cheaper to pay $1500 to get your seals replaced..... so IRT #1 No Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidian Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 ahh fuck maybe ill just wait to see if it eventually starts leaking... ripped my handbrake out accidentally last night.. so ill fix that first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 is it all the seals or just the top o ring ?? , thats usuallt the one that always goes ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84_S12 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 O/T: Just to be pedantic, the internation standard way of spelling the word changed from sulphur to sulfur in 1990 So do we say fosforus too? kloreen? pootonium? It's latin for fuck's sakes... can't people just leave shit alone? I also noticed the international way of spelling international has changed to internation... Is that being pedantic?
