Re: [jeep2diesel] Deisel Jeep Conversions
I tow my Jeep everywhere, and I noticed my Bronco gets the same
fuel mileage, with or with out it. So why don't you try your diesel?
Remember that little Volkswagen pick up? <ROTFLMAO>

Diesel fuel tends to keep more junk in suspension than gas, but either
way, both go through filters before being injected, and both would clog
their injectors if they weren't filtered. So... did you have a point, or
just loose your concentration?

The most wear on a Diesel is in the starting phase. (same for gas) Those
trucks running overnight are doing it because its cheaper to just let the
engine run than to bother turning it off and running it through a start
phase from cold. Go ahead and laugh, because you'd be laughing at
yourself. The fact is that a Diesel is much closer to the perfect motor
than a gasoline. The perfect motor would be an Adiabatic, where no heat
is gained or lost by the system. A diesel at idle requires the same
air/fuel ratio as at power, and maintains a stasis requiring no
adjustment of fuel/air to run smoothly. A gasoline engine is unstable at
idle, and requires an increase of fuel to air, making it very inefficient
at idle, and difficult to maintain smoothly w/o constant adjustment.
So... those trucks idling away are barely sipping their fuel. That's why
they get left running.
