LETS TALK ABOUT VARIABLE DISPLACEMENT

imagine a motor that can run on gas, diesel, and farts. Maybe one day crude distillates so thick its only used for bitumen...?

Who knows.

I have never seen a two cycle Diesel engine that uses diesel fuel as a lubricant for any moving parts other than the fuel injection system.

Where did you pick this up?

>I think its amazing that you can filter old cooking oil and run it in a diesel.

Not in a new diesel. Unless you want to replace your entire fuel system.

Modern diesels are almost pointless when they need 5 computers, 50 sensors and a 6 inch thick bungle of wires to run.

Old earth moving equipment can start on gas then switch over to diesel. Deuce and a half's are multi fuel too.

Don't be silly. They are using almost the same number of channels or less than a modern electronically controlled spark ignition engine.

There are 67 channels for a Toyota 1VD-FTV CRD diesel V8 using a Denso PCM, and 118 channels for a 2GR-FE in a Camry.

Old NA diesels had shit power but were undestructible and could drink almost any oil.

Nowadays they're just as complex as a performance engine with often twinturbos and lots of complex shit, so they really need to run clean. Problem is with EGR and stuff like that, they just can't. Look at the oil after a few thousands KM, shit's darker than your mom's areolas.

More and more countries are beginning to move away from diesels, especially in western Europe. It's only good for trucks and taxis imo.

Diesels used to be pretty good when it came to reliability and fuel economy,but modern ecology bullshit is killing them.

Grandpa's truck won't make it to 300k miles anymore with just oil changes and maybe a few glowplugs. Modern diesels make incredible power but are to complicated for their own good.
