Why newer is shiter

[forddeliveryboy]

The infamous HCII from the vegoildiesel forum gives us a little of his knowledge on diesel combustion - may be particularly relevant for those running on veg.

I'm not getting from that that newer is shiter, more that running on veggie can cause all sorts of havoc if you are not careful.

-- No Problem though, We, -The Maker Of Your Choice, will chuck a Microprocessor at it, to control all that-- Much Cheaper than all the time and extra machining of a Pre-Chamber engine, and we can use the Same Engine in the basic model AND the top of the range Sporty Model, Just a few different Plastic-Covers, and there you go!...All we need to do for the power differences is change Firmware Code in the EEPROMS! Just Perfect, Give that technician a FAT bonus!) --

 

Cheapskates the Makers really--Pile \'em High, Sell \'em Cheap, Stick a DVD in the back and lots of pretty plastic covers on the engine (To Hide The Truth maybe!)...Pander to the Masses demanding Ever More Power, and clean up the exhaust with cunning electronics and exhaust \'filters\' as well as the weird Cerium based additive \'modules\' needing replacement at a cost of Hundreds every year or so......

 

 

This bit, near the start of the post, sums up this engineer's opinion of diesels which are controlled by computer.

 

As you say Mr_B, it also warns of the potential for probs running on veg when done wrongly.

I dont know what he engineers for a living.... I'm guessing canals and textile mills

[forddeliveryboy]

Well, electronics is one of his specialities. But he could probably do a better job building a canal or aqueduct than many.

I wouldn't let him near any car of mine.
