Re: Novak has pulled their heads out-a little
Our USofA has decreed that sulfur must be removed as of mumble mumble so
those new urea injecting style diesels can run on it. Rumor is that benz may be making some much bigger diesels available soon now--possibly to stay in competition with the big V-10s available from the VW group. If you really want high rpm torque, put in a diesel-electric where the electric motors have max torque at stall. And put one in for each wheel. Or put in a turbine which can generate enough torque to ruin the bearings on an Indy Racer. Mike Romain proclaimed: > I would love to run Diesel if it wasn't so bad smelling.

Bio diesel sounds great on paper but it competes with food and worse, beer.

It's easy to get all the common rail engines over here-junkyards over there will crate them up complete with ECM and harnesses.

The four wheel drive STP racer (which took the pole on a junk unairworthy engine PWC gave Granatelli to shut him up) broke bearings because of exceedingly poor chassis design, NOT because of the mighty torque of the PT6A. They refused to put U-joints at the transfer case. I am kind of surprised that with all the junk unairworthy Allison and Lycoming helo engines floating on the surplus market we haven't seen more in off road recreational use. |

It's easy to get all the common rail engines over here-junkyards over there will crate them up complete with ECM and harnesses. And if you get rid of the catalysts, particulate traps and EGR they will burn regular fuel. The EPA has nothing to say about it if you tell them it's for a race car or an experimental aircraft at Customs. EPA is prohibited from messing with those. If you are going into an older chassis, KKKalifornia can be stumped if the engine is a "Service Replacement Block" engine. Which since Euro engines do not have a US format VIN they all are. You just have to be smarter than the average bear. > > If you really want high rpm torque, put in a diesel-electric where the > electric motors have max torque at stall.

The four wheel drive STP racer (which took the pole on a junk unairworthy engine PWC gave Granatelli to shut him up) broke bearings because of exceedingly poor chassis design, NOT because of the mighty torque of the PT6A. They refused to put U-joints at the transfer case. I am kind of surprised that with all the junk unairworthy Allison and Lycoming helo engines floating on the surplus market we haven't seen more in off road recreational use. |

We have a lot of farmland not in production because the government pays for its nonuse. Else farmers would overproduce. Biofuels will probably raise commodity prices a little, but the price you pay at the supermarket is not going to be much affected. I expect hemp will be put back once they develop a version which looks different than the THC producing kind so the booze lobby does not stop it. |
