Re: Liberty Diesel
Busses certainly aren't the best vehicles to judge....big inefficient,
poorly maintained oil burners....Talk about environmental damage.....an
engine capable of pulling 20+ tons, running around town empty, or with
2-3 people onboard, except for rush hour.
I haven't seen one yet that a bad injector didn't cause a plume of black
smoke whenever the driver stomps on the accellerator....
Even the folks' Ford F250 Superduty is like a freakin electric car
conpared to a city bus
The VW TDI's are very difficult to tell they're diesel other than the
badge on the back.... and the turbo whine sounds a little different than
the turbo gassers.....They're maggoty on the roads around Ottawa.
They get a sweet 1000+ km per 52 liter tank, and their torque peak is
right about 100-110 km/hr in 5th gear.
I didn't even realize the MB Smart cars were diesel till I saw one at
the pump and then checked it out online to find out they only imported
the diesel version to NA.

My experience with them is only on two local guy's jeeps, they seem to spend
a bit on them to keep them working, at least one leak every year. Last
summer one rear wouldn't disengage.
My two Powr-loks still work just fine.

Agreed. I have an RV with a CAT 3126E that has virtually no diesel smell
at all. The 7.5kw diesel generator is another story, however.
Diesel smell doesn't bother me much, though. It's the smell of power.

Re: Liberty Diesel
Diesel smell throws my body into a zombie like state, where I know
I have another five hundred miles to go before I sleep.
I wonder if you know you have a filter on your exhaust? Have you
maintained it yet? Or are you going to wait like the rest of you stupid
diesel buyers for your car to take a dump?
