Yes, I hear the same stuff, not from FOX.
How does a person find any reality (...maybe truth...?) when the major
info sources are either FOX or progressive?
I have zero tolerance for "science" climate change explanations, but I
don't think there is any path away from status quo even if I did
believe "science."
Neither side has proposals that fit the description "reasonable"
It is either more of the same, or, more of the same.

Deutz has made over the road engines for decades. Much of the truck 
rolling stock in the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa was powered 
by Deutz engines in the latter half of the last century.


Now Lister I don't know about, as those I only dealt with as 
stationary engines. Maybe one of the members more familiar with the 
Brits would know the answer.


Dan


yes,  Deutz F series engine can run a truck in the sahara for years 
and never have a radiator boil over and won't blow a radiator hose. 
You just need to keep the blower clean and open the airbox regularly 
to check for dirt buildup etc. and make sure the fan stays running.


What were the Diesel engines used by the krauts in tanks in WWII? 
I've wondered if the deutz may have been used there.

Back in the '80s a trucking neighbor said a truckline tried Deutz air cooled 
diesels in big road tractors. They had trouble maintaining proper working 
temperature in the winter and the mpg was not very good. He thought they just 
stuck a diesel intended for farm use in the trucks since there was still a 
"chopper" in the intake that cut up grass, etc. into smaller pieces.

Re: [MBZ] Chevrolet Colorado Diesel Promises Best-in-Class Towing, Torque

2015-07-17 Thread Dan Penoff via Mercedes
The Kohler distributor I worked for in the mid 80s was a Lister/Petter 
distributor.

Petter was the "throw away" engine line, cheap, aluminum block diesel engines 
good for maybe 5,000 - 10,000 hours. Listers were the expensive, last longer 
than your average lifetime engines.

Everybody knows the old arrow boards they used to have on the highways around 
road construction projects, the orange trailers with the big black sign board 
with yellow lights in the shape of an arrow that would blink.

Nearly every one of those was powered by a Petter single cylinder diesel engine 
that drove a Motorola 12VDC belt driven alternator. The alternator charged a 
Group 8D battery which in turn ran the lights.

Petter had a deal where you could turn in a core (complete engine) and they 
would discount the purchase of a new engine heavily. We used to have these sign 
board companies come in at the end of the construction season with literally 
truckloads of Petter AC1 engines to trade in on new ones.

The old engines went back to Petter and were crushed, we were told.

We didn't sell a lot of Listers that I know of, as the equipment manufacturers 
didn't want to invest the cost of an engine into their products. We saw sales 
in agriculture and irrigation, though.

Parts for Listers were nothing short of obscene, but considering that it wasn't 
unusual to get 20,000 hours or more out of an engine, you could justify the 
expense.

I paid $2.95 today because I was running late and I knew this particular 
station would be the fastest to get in and out of. The cheapest option was 
$2.79, fortunately the Jetta only needs 12 gallons nearly totally empty. Also 
fortunately this station has the best quality fuel which gives the best 
mileage, not enough to make up for the price differential but a couple extra 
MPGs are always nice, this should be a 55mpg tank.

Sadly both Trump and Walker are nuts and exceptionally good at making bad

a country...
Walker tells people one thing, then does another, ie he sets up labor deals and 
then breaks them so his corporate buddies can get big kickbacks rather than 
paying taxes...

Goobermnt motors must be confident that they have effectively killed 
off the Diesel engine for Fahrtzoid use.  (as in the Deutz F series 
of engines: F912 and F913.)

Price of Dissel is 2.49 and benzin is 2.68.  Its been way too long 
since the world was the right side up.

Now if we can move the country toward getting right side up

Trump and Walker certainly have the guts to say and do what they

Re: [MBZ] Chevrolet Colorado Diesel Promises Best-in-Class Towing, Torque

Goobermnt motors must be confident that they have effectively killed 
off the Diesel engine for Fahrtzoid use.   (as in the Deutz F series 
of engines: F912 and F913.)


Price of Dissel is 2.49 and benzin is 2.68.  Its been way too long 
since the world was the right side up.


Now if we can move the country toward getting right side up

Trump and Walker certainly have the guts to say and do what they 
believe in.  That is a refreshing change from the marxist or 
socialist choices of the recent past.

"Eight years" to develop the engine???  That explains a lot...

Still, a promising turn for more diesel fueled vehicles...
