What is this discussion about? Jeep Liberty, Diesel

#46 of 48 BioDiesel.......I got the answer! by jmorganflowers Apr 11, 2009 (11:42 am)
Dear Gang, Let me tell you what happened with the BioDiesel in my 2005 Liberty. I went to the store and out of the blue lost 90% of the engines power. However, when I put it in neutral I got 3-4000 rpm. This is a sign that the BioDiesel is cleaning out the system. At this point my buddy who has been a diesel mechanic for 30 years said to shut it down before the glow plugs melt. I changed the filter. It ran fine again. Remember....carry an extra filter and one pint of BioDiesel (in a non-plastic container) in the Jeep. If anyone has questions, please feel free to contact me. After a Cat3126 in my FL70 and the Jeep CRD I think I get it by now.
