diesel is essentially oil, and should protect, however if you`ve seen the paint around most filler caps, it can get issues with paint.... which in time leave bare metal... not to mention the whole hot exhaust/diesel soaked underside of vehicle issue..... :-.

i have wiped as much off as possible from around the engine bay. I think I may need to pull my rubber mat out from on top of the carpet and give it a hosing down and then a drying out session. I bet I end up doing that next year and finding rust!!!
BK:
It shouldnt rust mate but it will stink for a bit,i hope youve sussed it mate

Looking at the priming bulb revelation I reckon you've cracked it, but thats the very reason why I'm renewing my sedimenter and not just junking it.
As for the cold thing - mines always started fine and charges well but its needed glow-plugs last couple of days which is unusual for it as I never usually bother so I reckon its fuel filter time after I've done the sedimenter......

Well, after my back blowing yesterday the disco again started this morning in the cold and sounded like a narrow boat engine at 250rpm, so went in other car again!
This afternoon I have removed the priming bulb and then turned it over. It turned over much faster as well and poof, into life, bit of spluttering as the air in the pipes went through but then, then, we had normal idle speed (600rpm ish). Stopped the engine, re started and it does seem to idle at a slow speed but tap the loud pedal and it idles properly then. Went for a test drive and all seemed ok. So tomorrow I think will be D day for it. If not, then I will empty veg tank, put diesel in and try the engine like that. Go back to basics and start from scratch and eliminate other things.
Oh, and I know how to make confetty now as well! :roll: I left my big roll of paper on the fan didnt I and forgot to remove it, so the fan span round and shredded it for me. :doh:
