sflem849 said: (quoted from post at 19:17:22 02/26/09)From what I have heard from old timers cooling down on diesel is not good enough. They said you have to switch it to gas and let it run AT LEAST five minutes. I don't mess around with my MD. They don't make these heads anymore...
It is my understanding that diesel fuel will burn cooler than gasoline, (and I may be wrong) I think that switching to gasoline at shut-down will burn out the residual diesel fuel and make it easier to start next time...
And, if you are shutting down on gas, make sure to flip the lever back to diesel to seat those little valves or they will be prone to warp since they are held off their seats. Valves do most of their cooling when they are closed, especially those little ones leading into the de-compression chambers.
