So this is the last job left to do on the list of items to improve Audrey’s fuel consumption. I’m borrowing the car for a long trip this Saturday and while I have it, I want to do a purge during the day.
According to THIS THREAD it’s well worth it, so for an ATL TDi90, can anyone show a picture of which hoses I should disconnect (I’m assuming the two metal ones at the front of the engine as shown in this pic?), which is the supply and which is the return - also which pipe I should put an in-line filter on - I assume the supply that’s drawing the cleaner into the pump?
Alternatively, as time on the day will be precious and I have bought 5l of Liqui Moly diesel purge, I COULD just run the fuel down to 0 miles on DIS (I understand from other threads on tank capacity that there would still be a couple of litres of fuel left at that point) then just chuck the whole 5 litres in the tank and drive it 50-60 miles on that, then fill up - I assume any gunge that the cleaner pulls out of the fue system would then be sent to the tank and eventually trapped by the fuel filter - thoughts?
@depronman I think I am correct in assuming you’re the authority here and would welcome your input / guidance - also that of anyone else with direct experience too.
