DT2 Fuel-up Log

Showing a single fuel-up


Feb 4 2018

Replaced seven of the eight glow plugs. The replacements are "Bapmic" brand, which I got for cheap on eBay (about $3 each). The eighth -- the front-most on the passenger side -- is stuck in the head. I left that one disconnected. All plugs in the truck previously were Beru (Motorcraft) brand. Three were burned out, including the one stuck in the head. The other five still work. One that was burned out was made in Ireland; the other two, including the stuck one, were made in Germany. The five that are still good consist of four made in Germany and one made in Ireland. I also replaced the glow plug relay (with a genuine Ford one) because I suspected the old one had gone bad. I also replaced the fuel filter. And I put half a bottle of Howe's treatment in each fuel tank.

I coast all the time no dangerous hills here. Its worth an extra 50-75 per tank.
