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. Our Canadian stuff is
almost half sulfur I think. Apparently they would have to double the
price or something like that to clean it up... ;-)

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.

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.
