Good overview and very informative, thank you.
And I was fascinated by your accent, you're fun to listen to (I'm from California).

Oxalic acid clears out the heat exchanger nicely.

the marine spec diesel has a high wax content much as red diesel used in plant and farming

[@simonjones7785]

water does not block filters only wax and gunk from the tank will block your filter

[@tedrintel3269]

Excellent

[@simonjones7785]

the reason for the higher pressure is for a cleaner burn 2 bar at the pressure rail

[@skunkjobb]

2 bar, I guess you mean 2000 bar.

[@simonjones7785]

water is not forced down by gravity water will sink to the bottom of the water trap diesel will always float on water

[@skunkjobb]

The natural force responsible for that separation is gravity.

Get the epa ,goverment, biofuels and corn out of our fuel.

Modern biodiesel of the type HVO doesn't have more problems with microbes than fossil diesel oil.
