ok....great job with this topic. Although I must admit, I read up to page 11 and then started to "move" forward. I soon found out this baby was over 39 pages long!!!!!!!!!!! I just don't have the time to read that long.

But, in a nutshell, give us guys(and gals?) an update. Have you found a magic mixture or not? Are you close?!

I just recently became interested in diesels myself. Found Davis Diesel Development and sent an email. Reply was for me to call. So I did.....NOT what I expected! The guy kept interupting me, wasn't listening to what I was saying nor did he really care what I had to say, on and on and on about OS is a great engine and the rest are junk. This really stumped me. I sure don't treat my customers this way.

But one thing he said that stuck in my mind.....and when I found this forum tonight.....I just had to comment. I, finally, interrupted HIM and was saying the reason for my interest in diesel was cause the nearest hobby shop is a 2 hour drive and I could probably be easier for me to come up with the ingredients to make my own fuel.......at this point, I am QUICKLY interrupted(again) and told," You will NEVER be able to make you own diesel fuel"! Then he carrys on and on and on about how I must've been to RCUniverse(not yet.....but I'm here NOW), John Deere ether, etc., etc., etc..........basically, you guys(here on RCU and everywhere else) are idiots and you'll never find a blend that works. Only the fuel he blends/sells will work.

Parting words were that I should "think it over and buy something that you can fit an OS engine into it for the diesel conversion". Of course, I should point out that I am looking to run a diesel R/C truck(Mini MGT 3.0 with an .18).

I commend you guys for your efforts and wish you success in your endeavor. I only wish I had the time to tinker with this subject as well for I would be trying to help figure out how to make Mr. Davis eat his words! Again, good luck to you all. We are anticipating great things from you guys.

Sincerely,

Ob1n of RCU
