15ppm, down from 500ppm. Diesel in Europe is 50ppm and they're debating
dropping to 10ppm, what they call "sulphur-free."

Well, yeah, different fuel, different exhaust smell. You can smell the
difference between beef farts and bean farts, too.

Bean or beef? I'd prefer bean...less lingering power.
They don't even have that in Europe. One night in

When I visited Great Britain I was amazed how many diesel passenger cars
there were. My friends in Germany have a diesel Mercedes crossover that will
regulary do 140mph on the 'Bahn. We're visting next month and I am
anticipating the ride!

Re: Novak has pulled their heads out-a little
I have been there. You can see the mountains, but when you are coming down
into the valley from the mountains you can see that something is different
down there, just like you can with Denver. I may have exaggerated a little
bit. The tourist from L.A. only had to take a couple of breaths from the
bus exhaust to clear his head.

Look on the net. About the only one that is a pain in the *** is the
MBZ because of its front sump. It's also dirt cheap and about
bulletproof. There are CJs with Isuzus, Mits, Nissans and Cumminses.

Most diesels are made so they can have the sump in the front or in
the back and sometimes the middle because they are made for a variety
of uses. MBZ insists on putting huge bag sumps on the front. They are
the exception. Adapterwise they are not that difficult since every
manner of car and light truck was sold somewhere with the more common
diesel engines. I don't believe in adapting alien bellhousings to
transmissions and prefer the scattershield approach.

Look on the net. About the only one that is a pain in the *** is the
MBZ because of its front sump. It's also dirt cheap and about
bulletproof. There are CJs with Isuzus, Mits, Nissans and Cumminses.

Most diesels are made so they can have the sump in the front or in
the back and sometimes the middle because they are made for a variety
of uses. MBZ insists on putting huge bag sumps on the front. They are
the exception. Adapterwise they are not that difficult since every
manner of car and light truck was sold somewhere with the more common
diesel engines. I don't believe in adapting alien bellhousings to
transmissions and prefer the scattershield approach.

The torque and economy mean that in most countries if it isn't diesel
it isn't a off road vehicle. Unless propane is dirt cheap. Propane is
what Romain needs so his jeep club can sniff away to their hearts'
content. And you can run a barbecue grill off it too.
