Default RE: DIESEL!

Yeah your dreams are correct!!
Diesels run MUCH leaner than glow engines.. and apparently because of the increased lubricty of the fuel (30% castor oil), the engine lasts FOREVER!!!

And yes.. torque is also higher. But remember that this isnt exactly a "diesel". Its just compression ignition without a glow plug.
Even these diesels are pretty efficient.. but why the heck would you say you have to liquid cool it??
Normal diesels have very high exhaust temperatures but all that isnt an issue here. This stuff runs primarily on ETHER.

I started a diesel thread here on RCU a while back... I'll see if I can find you a link.
