Subject: Re: [biofuel] Diesel engines - running on biodiesel
Mr Spence, I am now very very curious. Give me an
example of a diesel engine that doesn't have an
injection system. Every diesel I have ever worked on
has an injection system, weather it be mechanical or
electrical. I guess in theory, you could charge the
air, kinda like a carburator does for a gasoline
engine, but that defeats the whole purpose of the
engine being more efficient.
Just really curious now. (Saving my 2 cents to make
a bio-proccesser.) ;-)
