Novak has pulled their heads out-a little
"Diesels are neat. They power some amazing equipment. There is no
doubt that diesels can offer great economy, but the question is, "What diesel engines are available for Jeep conversions that are: * common across the nation * the right size * the right weight * have a broad enough operating range for a multi-use vehicle such as a Jeep * affordable to buy * compatible with transmissions that must also meet the above requirements" Let's see: Isuzu-several Nissan-SD25, SD33T Mercedes-OM617 Mitsubishi-several Perkins-still out there, low power-but FACTORY in CJs VW-maybe for a flatfender Peugeot-don't laugh, common in Bobcats! Cummins-OK if trans upgraded, heavy, loud Volvo-same as Cummins Detroit Diesel, Cat, Mack-NO!!! Iveco-possible How many do you need? |

Re: Novak has pulled their heads out-a little
I'll bite for the Troll.
Just how many of the various stink pots will actually 'fit' in a Jeep, eh? There is this slight issue with oil pan clearances and adapters. Despite your racist take on the companies that make adapters, they obviously are smart enough to know stupidity when they see it. Means they are still smarter than you Bret... And who would want to 'always' have to bring up the end of the line forever when off road or even on a road trip because they stink out the 'real' Jeeps behind them too much with their belching of black smoke. Until the oil companies clean up their Diesel, it will never be a welcome addition to any of the Jeep runs we go on, except to tag along at the end like I mentioned. Here in Canada, it is impossible to even follow a city bus in traffic in an open top Jeep, let along have to gag along behind one on the trail. And Yes Bret, this have been brought up every time you post this troll by not just me. Now if you have the money to but one of these 'new' engines that supposedly don't smoke 'as bad', others have posted that they still get sent to the back of the line because of stench.

Re: Novak has pulled their heads out-a little
The oil companies already have in Europe. My dad's diesel doesn't stink, and
it certainly doesn't belch smoke. The engines you describe disappeared 20 years ago here. There are many advantages to diesels over petrols for offroading - better torque per litre (the isuzu actually puts out more bhp/litre as well than the I6), and as they have much higher compression at around 20:1 you get a lot better engine braking. Plus the ability to cope with water better.

Re: Novak has pulled their heads out-a little
The oil companies already have in Europe. My dad's diesel doesn't stink, and
it certainly doesn't belch smoke. The engines you describe disappeared 20 years ago here. There are many advantages to diesels over petrols for offroading - better torque per litre (the isuzu actually puts out more bhp/litre as well than the I6), and as they have much higher compression at around 20:1 you get a lot better engine braking.

Re: Novak has pulled their heads out-a little
I would love to run Diesel if it wasn't so bad smelling. I am a low rpm
torque lover. No problems for a generator or even furnace, but Jeep, nope.... We get enough fumes if the wind is wrong with just a gas engine if running solo, let alone in groups.

Re: Novak has pulled their heads out-a little
We have low sulfur road fuel in the U.S. now. I don't know how "low" it is.
I rented a diesel Golf in Spain last year, and you can smell the difference between that and a gasoline car. I don't know what it would be like with a whole city full of them. They don't even have that in Europe. One night in the bus station in Burgos, I was talking to a fellow tourist from L.A. who was having difficulty breathing. I thought I was going to have to call the ambulancia, but he stuck his face down by the bus exhausts for a few minutes. "There, that's better", he said.
