[Vwdiesel] Rabbit droppings # 146 --- ( we DO learn ).Libbybapa at wmconnect.com Libbybapa at wmconnect.comThu Feb 24 19:35:27 EST 2005
Theory: new nozzles and slightly higher breaking pressures for injectors makes for better spray patterns and finer overall atomization. That leads to a more complete burn. Experience: New Nozzles = No Smoke. If after changing nozzles, one increases fueling until a bit of "fog in the headlights" appears, then mpg's suffer. I've noticed it fairly dramatically in my TD vanagon. There is a nice spot of no smoke and decent performance. When fueling increases from there, fuel economy declines rapidly. Smoke increases rapidly also. That's my experience so far. Andrew
