i bought one of these my 12V battery bank wouldn't go up more than 10.5 Volts. I've had the desulfator on the the battery as well as a basic charger on the battery for 3 days and the voltage is up to 12.2V. It must be working. The desulfator seems to work faster, and be more effective, when...

Thanks for the replies. My battery was fine a few weeks ago until I noticed it not getting to a high voltage after being charged. It gets up to 11.5V and then when I take the charger off, about an hour later it drops down to 10.5V. Its 2 55AH deep cycle batteries wired in parralel. Connected...

I want revive a battery and was going to buy a desulfator only. But I can across battery chargers with built in desulfators. problem I have is how do you know if the charger is going to go into desulfation mode when you want it to. I want it to recover a sulphated battery but it the charger just...

I have noticed that my engine starts the easiest, just after the glow plug light goes out. If I wait any longer to start the engine after the glow plug light goes out, then the engine takes longer to start. It's as if the glow plug continues heating after the light goes out and makes it too hot...

why didn't my water-in-fuel-filter-light appear on the dash to alert me.It's worrying that there is water in there and the warning light aint working. No way to tell how much water is in there. How often should you drain the filter. OneEyeJack: I know thats what I'm thinking now, but I'm sure...

Is this red sediment rust? I changed my fuel filter for the first time on my Van at 20 000 miles. Decided to cut it open. There was some red sediment at the bottom just above the water sensor screw hole. Wiped it clean and scraped it with screw driver but its not coming off. I thought it was...

Originally Posted By: dustyroads I just looked up the valvoline super diesel oil. I didn't look much at it as I need to get some sleep now, but the page I saw said it was only CH-4 rated. Is that what you have? If so, are there any concerns with emissions equipment? If you can, try to at least...

just wondering would all the heavy duty diesels be running more full synthetic or more mineral diesel oil?

Originally Posted By: dustyroads Many may tell you the turbo is water cooled and not to worry at all. Your van may not need any idle time. The bottom line is you don't need synthetic hdeo for basic oci intervals. Isn't the idea that full synth oil is better for the turbo shaft, because...

Van driving I am at a point where I think its coming down to a choice between going to fully synthetic to protect my turbo for city ON/OFF driving, and an oil with a high TBN with the detergents that diesels need. It seems the great majority of Fully synthetic oils, which are labelled diesel...
