That is pretty impressive! Wonder what the advantages are, most diesels weigh more the a gasser. Did you note how thick the cylinder sleeves were? Beautiful piece of machinery!! <span class="info"></span>


I can only assume the advantages are the same as that in cars. More economical per mile (assuming the extra weight does not negate this). More torque and easier to start in the cold and more reliable.....
