Hi Guys and Gals.
   I finally put my car back together. I was very busy and weather was not
good.
   It emits alot less diesel smell at the tailpipe... no doubt about it.
You can stand next to it and not notice it. I used to get heavy smell all
the time. Maybe it was a tad windy, but still I don't see that heavy vapors
and smell that diesel as it used to.
   I drove the car today... definitely start up perfect in cold weather...
I used to get heavy stumbling until I smooth out the engine by giving a bit
more gas. It purred to life like you would not believe. Out on the road, the
car drives normally... it can attack the hill without me accelerating harder
and tranny now knows when to shift lower earlier before the engine is under
heavy stress.
   A lot less pressure on the gas pedal to keep car going. I find myself
driving too fast on local road... need to baby the car so I don't get
tickets. It is definitely a major improvement that I can see my highway
driving using far less fuel than before. The hill test proves it to me.
   So, it is definitely time for you to change yours too. Now, I need to
attack all other possible places for leaks... fuel tank hoses? Anything else
you guys know?
   I found another leak in my engine compartment... that stupid little
shutoff thing on top of my fuel filter... Remember, my car is 1995 E300D so
it has a little turn knob for emergency shut off. rather than a level.
