“... there have been several smaller size diesels ... Some or all of these engines are spark ignition.”
Are you saying they squirt the fuel in at the top of the compression stroke per diesel, but have spark plugs as well?
“No. They are completely different fuel systems. Gasoline in a diesel engine will cause significant damage”
I was in Europe once and they ‘upgraded’ my rental to a gasoline car with an automatic. It took me 3 months to later figure out that they likely do that with all Americans.
Look into DEF delete kits. Illegal? Yeah, but then again, so is the EPA.
IT will ruin the engine, however just for informational purposes during a couple extreme cold spells we went through where the temp did not get above -20f for weeks I had to mix gasoline into my diesel to get it to run even with all the antifreeze and normal fuel treatments.
I’ve been told that in some of the really cold climates people will run their diesels on kerosene.
They’re also sorry for INCONVINENCE.
Eventually the government agencies will be the only entities to have access to gas and diesel. An immobile and hungry citizen is no longer a threat to the criminals in DC.
” I find it hard to believe, though, that manufacturers could not reprogram the ECU to eliminate the need for DEF if they could legally do it.”
They easily can and the States may force that issue if the fed continues to be the problem.
*currently out of stock*
We apologize refuse responsibility for any inconvenience.
However, he may be a VERY serious threat to local democrats!
You said:
“The vehicles are hardwired to require it.”
And then you said regarding reprogramming the ECU:
“Nothing says they can’t...”
Isn’t that a little contradictory?
My son did that. He passed his medical and written CDL licenses, then went to Texas to train with a company. He finished training and hit the road driving loads all over the US. He was making 50% pay to repay the training costs. Much of the time he was living in his company truck. Very little "down time" aside from the ELOG mandated "rest" periods. He thought driving a flatbed would be more steady and better income than his real estate broker work. Reality? He was earning 50% and miserable with the arrangements.
7.20 a gallon here now. Was $2.50 a gallon or so, pre child sniffer. It now costs me nearly 20 bucks just to drive to my office.
“Necessarily skyrocket. “
Also, the compression is less than that needed for auto ignition so the spark plug is the only way the fuel-air will ignite.
Not only will truckers be affected, but also American agriculture that runs on diesel. Diesel powers tractors, combines, sprayers, fertilizer trucks and the large haul trucks that take produce from field to market. Biden policies could bring not only food shortages but famine.
DC ‘elites’ want gasoline available’ll because they want Biden’s numbers up.
If Truckers can’t deliver product these evil liberal elites think they can blame shortages on Truckers and once again ‘fool their stupid base’. They’ll set up a committee to investigate Truckers - see if anyone is price gouging...
Democrats are such liars.
So long as white liberal ‘elites’ in DC have what they want AND their sexual weirdos and their criminal underclass supporters who prop up their power are happy... Well, then they don’t give a damn if the rest of the people of the United States starve to death.
Outside of DC people can see how awful 'the child sniffer' is - - even blacks who pushed that jerk into office are seeing it.
