spectacularly crappy example of a diesel  engine...



Good point there, **plus**:
 
Bio diesel is cheaper than diesel from petroleum, lubricates the engine and  
injection pump better and kicks out greatly reduced emissions of all the nasty 
 stuff:  NOx, S, CO and the harmful carcinogens and particulates.  The  best 
thing is it is totally carbon-neutral - it only puts back into the  atmosphere 
the carbon the plant took out in the first place.  Performance  is totally 
unaffected.
 
So a decently set-up turbo diesel is good news all round.  Let's not  forget 
what JCB achieved just last week at Bonneville (British - hooray!) and  Audi 
at Le Mans either.
 
Poor performance from a diesel?  Wake up and smell the  coffee!
