Subject:My new camper!!!
From:Javier Saenz

Hello amigos,
    I am pleased to announce that I  have purchased a new camper.  This does
have the original diesel TDI engine installed.  It is a 1982 model.  I am
noticing no great amount of power and fuel MPG of only about 25MPG.  Is this
what is supposed to be?  I know now not to put gasoline in this motor, like
my old one.  I gave up on the trailer project as is was to unstable at
freeway speeds.
   Is this the motor that I can use corn oil if I run out of diesel? Also,
it smokes quite a bit and when climbing hills laeves a good trail behind
angering many other motorists.  Most noted when I climb through the
mountains heading east on I-5 from San Diego.  Does anyone else's diesel
smoke like this on long climbs?

Thank You,

Javier
