Newer Generation Oil Burners--Diesels that is--

[Michael Selig]

There was a recent article in Road and Track about a new Diesel made by BMW.
It is a 3.9 liter V8 twin turbo diesel used in the 740d.  It produces 235 hp
at 4 K with 433 ft/lb of torque at 1750 rpm.  It is coupled to an auto and
can propel it to 150 mph with much lower fuel consumption.

It is a 4 valve/ cylinder with the injector smack in the middle of the bore
to allow for slower and later combustion.  The injector is powered by a pump
which develops 20 k psi and creates a swirling atomized mist in the
combustion chamber..

Sounds interesting to me..
