Actually I agree with you Ralf.

The problem is that back in the 1980s and 1990s, here in the UK diesel
was pushed as the 'cleaner' fuel and hence was cheaper in price than
petrol. the government promoted diesel heavily and the car manufacturers
followed suit by making more of them.

Now we are seeing the true legacy.

It all boils down from the oil lobby and the car makers, simple as that.
Without the need to pander to oil-rich nations, we would all have been
driving battery, even hydrogen powered cars years ago. Instead we line
the pockets of certain nations who shall remain nameless but have lots
of sand and camels.

I need a big utility vehicle for work, but if I had a choice of a less
polluting method of propulsion, I would jump at it.



Around here diesel was about 10% cheaper than regular gasoline up until
2003. Then it got a LOT more expensive; about 30% more than regular.

Since gas prices dropped last year the difference has fallen to where
diesel is only about 10% more than regular gas.

When I was shopping for a car in 2009, I looked at switching to diesel,
but soon figured I'd have to find one that got 50+ MPG to break even on
fuel cost.

The VW Rabbit Diesel Pickup I had before I had to go overseas got close
to that, but the best I could find in 2009 best was around 40 MPG.

Wish I'd kept the Rabbit.

Re: OT: Diesels

[Subash Jeyan]

here in india too diesel is about 18-20 per cent cheaper than petrol
and though diesel cars cost a little more initially, they are cheaper in
the long run and so sell quite a bit more. given that our cities were
not built for cars and that pollution/green laws are hardly enforced,
it is an environmental disaster that is already unfolding. 

some cities have banned diesel engines older than ten years. new delhi,
one of the worst affected cities, banned the sale of cars with diesel
engines bigger than 2000cc but mercedes benz went to court recently and
got the ban lifted though the court asked that a 1% (of the cost of the
car) green tax be levied on sale of such cars. i personally believe that
it is time all cars for a personal use are taxed out of the roads and
the government build a well-thought out network of public
transportation. but in a culture where cars are equated with
'development' i don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.

It's not all that cold here right now. Anything below about -16ºC is an
issue for this truck. This morning was -27ºC, and it took multiple
attempts to get it running. Starting is completely automatic, the only
control the driver has in this regard is a PHD button that initiates the
start cycle. After that, it's up to the truck.
I like the truck, but if I need to go out and start it and warm it up
every 5-6 hours during the cold months, it is not going to be a pleasant
vehicle to own.  They say don't idle it for extended periods because of
the particulate filters, and if it is idled to much, it goes into
perpetual regeneration of the filter, which means it's dumping raw fuel
into the exhaust to burn off the soot. This drops gas mileage to about
60l/100km. One it is running, it is a joy to drive.

If there are any diesel wonks on the forum, your thoughts would be
appreciated.

Too many variables for that to have an easy answer. There are winter and summer
grades of fuel.  If there aren't many diesels around there, you could have
picked up a tank of summer grade from a slow moving supplier.

> Should plugging in the block heater make a difference?

Yes.  There are variations in block heaters, too.  Maybe your vehicle has one
designed for higher temps than yours, fitted to keep the production line
running.  Is it plugged in all night?

> Can glow plugs be flakey?

Yes but not until you've done a considerable mileage.  I'd be more inclined to
suspect the power feed, or even the software control of them in such a new
vehicle.

Dead right about the filters.  DPF equipped vehicles need to be run on longer
journeys, mostly, with regular vigorous use to keep the filters working well.

Re: OT: Diesels

My previous renter in our small house next door had a big diesel pickup truck 
(Dodge Ram maybe) used in his landscaping work. He always plugged his block 
heater in, never seemed to have a problem starting even with 0°F temperatures. 
On the other hand, the extension cord was a messy eyesore that I admonished him 
about a few times.

For our friends across the pond: in most of Continental Europe, diesel

As a consequence, we have around 40 to over 60 percent (France) of

running on LPG - current prices are between 35 (Belgium) and just over 
60 cents per liter.


Here in Germany, to my knowledge the last country without any speed 
limit on its motorways, the diesel aficionados have yet another 
argument: torque. They consider it a part of their human rights to 
experience the kick of 700 Nm pressing them into their seat when they 
floor the accelerator of their turbocharged Audi or BMW diesel on 
entering the motorway, pulling right across to the left-most lane within 
seconds.

Some 20+ years ago, I was involved with retro fitting 'green' diesel engines
in a large fleet, along with new exhaust systems which made them quieter and
had increased particulant traps. You'd have probably seen them on the
streets of London, as they were large and red. Now in 2016, there are hybrid
diesel electrics and hydrogen vehicles being rolled out. 

On a personal level, it's difficult to find a replacement for my Land Rover.
I need something which takes up to 9 people fairly often, tows a horse box
and is generally good with unmade roads in poor weather. I had no choice
other than to buy a diesel version, as they phased the V8 petrol out as an
option long ago, and having in the past had one, I couldn't live with 12 MPG
as an average - go off road and that looks good. I get twice that with the
diesel. I'd like, in a few years' time a Range Rover again, when I'll be
able to manage with less seating, but it's really too plush and will get
scratched in the lanes pulling into gaps in narrow lanes. I have a really
good dealer I've dealt with for 20+ years, and have no intention of swapping
makes. I'd also like a petrol version, but that will come down to
economy/how much I then use it, which may actually be more.

I also may be forced into buying a petrol version, depending how London puts
in place 'ultra-low emission' boundaries for diesel vehicles in the not too
distant future.

You could keep the block heater plugged into a timer if you have a

We do a fairly annual vacation to British Columbia, pulling a 6000 lb 
trailer. One of the passes we have to go over is a truck killer, 
something like 30 km of 9º+ grades. The last time I drove it, we were 
down to about 20km/hr nearing the top, and I was feathering between 
overheating the tranny and overheating the engine.


This was with a gas Nissan Titan, 5.6L 8 cyl, 307 HP, 385Lb torque. The 
diesel is 306 HP, 555 lbs torque.


We can avoid the pass by doing a 5 hour bypass that takes a ferry 
crossing instead, but it pretty much wastes a day. I can only take two 
weeks vacation at a time, so losing 2 extra days to travel is a pain.


Other than that, I'm fine with the gas engine, though I do like the 
diesel power curve.


I just got a call from the dealer, the block heater checks out, but they 
can't check the glow plugs until next week when their diesel tech is 
working.

It's not all that cold here right now. Anything below about -16ºC is
an issue for this truck. This morning was -27ºC, and it took multiple
attempts to get it running. Starting is completely automatic, the only
control the driver has in this regard is a PHD button that initiates
the start cycle. After that, it's up to the truck.
I like the truck, but if I need to go out and start it and warm it up
every 5-6 hours during the cold months, it is not going to be a
pleasant vehicle to own.  They say don't idle it for extended periods
because of the particulate filters, and if it is idled to much, it
goes into perpetual regeneration of the filter, which means it's
dumping raw fuel into the exhaust to burn off the soot. This drops gas
mileage to about 60l/100km. One it is running, it is a joy to drive.

If there are any diesel wonks on the forum, your thoughts would be

Yes but no experience of such cold operating conditions.

Despite the UK's reputation of a cold dreary place, the coldest winter
minima we would normally expect would be something like -8 to -12 deg C.
That's well within range of the winter diesel fuel supplies, so we just
don't have the starting issues.

I have to say that one thing I would invest in for operating in your temps
would be a Webasto (or similar pre-heating system). Is this what you mean by
'plugging in the block heater' ?) They can be operated remotely or set on a
timer. I would imagine the engine would start up pretty much instantly with
a warm block and the added advantage of a warm cabin.





I have a Ford 2.4 litre 4 cylinder engine in the Land Rover and it pretty
much just keeps plugging away. It's a 2012 model year and because of the
nature of my work it does spend time idling, but does not have the latest
anti-pollution spec fitted. It does have a re-map and larger intercooler
taking it from the 122 BHP to 180 BHP. After splitting the exhaust manifold
in two, I've now attached a chalk-board eraser underneath the gas pedal ;-)

As you are no doubt discovering, getting used to low-rev torque takes a
while but I would imagine the output from the Cummins is pretty amazing.
+++

My in-laws run a pre-heater for their Land Rover. It plugs in from an
electrical socket in the house and takes moments to remove. After a cold
night (not your cold but much colder than the worst London temperatures and
often with deep snow) it starts easily first time and gets to running
temperature in a few minutes. Living 400 miles south, I've no need for one
here but would not hesitate to use one if I lived there. My Land Rover has a
Td5 diesel engine, and it is very heavy on battery life, particularly over
cold winters if not used daily. They give up without warning and I replace
mine every three years. I haven't owned a petrol car in some years.

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Congratulations and Happy Birthday, Ann!

Dec 10 was my mother's birthday, she would have been 98 today, but passed
away 15 years ago.

In 8 days, I'll be 75.  I dread the thought.

Re: Quick and dirty geso 1970 Challenger WSS

[Richard Klein]

Neat! I've never heard of the WSS. There were some interesting regional
option packages back in the day.

The article mentions that the WSS came with a vinyl roof. Do you know if
your friend removed the vinyl, or was it possible to get the WSS without
that feature?

Re: OT: Diesels

On 10/12/16, Bill, discombobulated, unleashed:

>If there are any diesel wonks on the forum, your thoughts would be

Yes but no experience of such cold operating conditions.

Despite the UK's reputation of a cold dreary place, the coldest winter
minima we would normally expect would be something like -8 to -12 deg C.
That's well within range of the winter diesel fuel supplies, so we just
don't have the starting issues.

I have to say that one thing I would invest in for operating in your
temps would be a Webasto (or similar pre-heating system). Is this what
you mean by 'plugging in the block heater' ?) They can be operated
remotely or set on a timer. I would imagine the engine would start up
pretty much instantly with a warm block and the added advantage of a
warm cabin.





I have a Ford 2.4 litre 4 cylinder engine in the Land Rover and it
pretty much just keeps plugging away. It's a 2012 model year and because
of the nature of my work it does spend time idling, but does not have
the latest anti-pollution spec fitted. It does have a re-map and larger
intercooler taking it from the 122 BHP to 180 BHP. After splitting the
exhaust manifold in two, I've now attached a chalk-board eraser
underneath the gas pedal ;-)

As you are no doubt discovering, getting used to low-rev torque takes a
while but I would imagine the output from the Cummins is pretty amazing.

OT: Diesels

[Bill]

A couple of months ago I spoiled myself in a major way and bought one of 
the new Nissan Titan diesel trucks, equipped with a 5 liter turbo 
Cummins engine. This is my first foray into the world of diesel engines. 
I expect there are a few people on the list that have more experience 
with the things.

My questions all revolve around cold weather starting.
What is considered cold for a Diesel?
Should plugging in the block heater make a difference?
Can glow plugs be flakey?

It's not all that cold here right now. Anything below about -16ºC is an 
issue for this truck. This morning was -27ºC, and it took multiple 
attempts to get it running. Starting is completely automatic, the only 
control the driver has in this regard is a PHD button that initiates the 
start cycle. After that, it's up to the truck.
I like the truck, but if I need to go out and start it and warm it up 
every 5-6 hours during the cold months, it is not going to be a pleasant 
vehicle to own.  They say don't idle it for extended periods because of 
the particulate filters, and if it is idled to much, it goes into 
perpetual regeneration of the filter, which means it's dumping raw fuel 
into the exhaust to burn off the soot. This drops gas mileage to about 
60l/100km. One it is running, it is a joy to drive.


If there are any diesel wonks on the forum, your thoughts would be 
appreciated.


thanks

bill

PESO: Morning Sky

The sky was quite dramatic this morning.  I took this as I crossed a park on my 
way to the pool.  Wish I'd seen it at sunrise.
