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.) ;-) Jeremy --- steve spence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > all diesels are fuel injected. > > this statement is not true in the case of > diesel/biodiesel > > if you had an gas engine with injectors, it would be > challenging to run a > gaseous fuel like propane (but not impossible) > > > Steve Spence > Subscribe to the Renewable Energy Newsletter: > http://www.webconx.com/subscribe.htm > > Renewable Energy Pages - http://www.webconx.com > Palm Pilot Pages - http://www.webconx.com/palm > X10 Home Automation - http://www.webconx.com/x10 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > (212) 894-3704 x3154 - voicemail/fax > We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, > we borrow it from our children. > -- > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Michael DeWolf" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <biofuel@yahoogroups.com> > Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2001 9:43 AM > Subject: [biofuel] Diesel engines - running on > biodiesel > > > > I recently read this: > > > > "If it is one of the recent engines that uses fuel > injection, you > > will not be able to alternati ly fuel the engine. > Alternative fuels > > may have contaminants that will cause injector > problems." > > > > on <http://outlands.tripod.com/farm/s01.htm> > > > > Is this true? > > > > Michael Dewolf > > > > > > Yahoo!
