LOLthat is great you figured out what is clear.Hope you get it on the road soon...wouldn't want a 1.9 to rebuild for the next van would you?
Today was fuel systems day.. Here is the stock supply, vent, and return side:I ran new supply side lines of sealed 5/16" coated lines, here you see the aluminum foiled protected line..One of the strange things I completely disagree with the Chrysler engineer with is the tank filling tube seal. It is a rubber grommet that has no compression other than that of the fill tube that is rammed into it.Here you can see the vapor and return lines. Notice the vapor lines are capped. The EPA would freak is this was a gasser. More on this later...Next is the very out dated Leaded fuel blocking port. Now, tell me, how long do the gasser people need to pay for this feature ? It has been illegal to sell leaded gas in the USA for decades.Here is the free flow of fuel oil thanks to a sharp wood chisel...Next was the EPA anti top-off ball. This had to go...fuel oil does not evap like gasoline, and it can foam much more, so it had to go !!!Lastly, since the vapor recovery system is of no value in a fuel oil system, I need a way for the air to fill the void from the used fuel oil... the stock cap is air tight, must go..

My lovely wife wants me to diesel a real Land Rover rather than another minivan ... but a 1.9 might do the trick. You're not that far away. It would give me an excuse to see your fantastic AF museum ! Every time I've gone to Ham Feast, I've thought I should swing by the AFB. They have my favorite plane of all time - P-38
Arb, you're just the person to build your own injector tester from a bottle jack and replace your own injectors.FWIW, I get the earlier TD nozzles from autohausaz.com and rebuild them to the *low* end of the pressure spec for best fuel economy.I use the DNOSD293 nozzles which were spec'd on some vw IDI TD engines and yet are quite inexpensive:http://sd.autohausaz.com/autohausaz/detailw.jsp?sid=3vjolwfmvksbhdytprkjh155&partner=autohausaz&product=0434250103After buying the four nozzles you still have to toss in an oil filter just to meet the $50 free shipping.
JG what bosch # nozzles did you get? dno sd 293? dno sd 297?arb, sorry for the thread hijack. How's the engine rebuild going?
