Diesel or Petrol engines?

the lancaster kicks ass · May 2, 2004

and why not, the T-34 had a diesel, it was one of the best tanks of the war and the cold didn't slow it atall, unlike the germans tanks..................

yes but tanks werent exactly designed for acceleration speed or handling

the lancaster kicks ass · May 2, 2004

no, but could you imagine a petrol tank, it coulod barley move through lack of tourque.................

petrol engines do have a lot of torque - take the bentey continental gt 8) bentley were unable to measure it cos it kept breaking the machine 8)

yes, a bently tank, it would be couvered in leather, aerodynamic, no gun as it would look ugly................

cheddar cheese · May 2, 2004

all bentleys are tanks anyway i wasnt intending if they were to make a tank, i was just using its engine as an example of how petrol engines can have high torque 8)

the lancaster kicks ass · May 2, 2004

but not as high as a diesil...................

cheddar cheese · May 2, 2004

yup - some petrol engines have just as much torque, some even more 8)

the lancaster kicks ass · May 2, 2004

so why is it you never hear of a petrol tractor..............

cheddar cheese · May 2, 2004

diesels are generally more reliable and are easier to maintain 8) unless you get a big block chevy v8 -easiet and most simple engine ever 8)

i think its over 600 and i wouldnt say it was ugly, just "overweight"

the lancaster kicks ass · May 3, 2004

you see, and that was with a petrol, if it was a diesil, it would be as light as a feather................

cheddar cheese · May 3, 2004

it wouldnt ind im talking overweight as in styling though the bentley is very heavy 8) and somehow i dont think bentley would use a diesel, british manufacturers tend to avoid oil burners

the lancaster kicks ass · May 5, 2004

ha! i've never seen a oil burner powered car...........

cheddar cheese · May 5, 2004

oil burner = what traders call diesels 8)

the lancaster kicks ass · May 8, 2004

ah! i see, you could have told me that, i saw the strangest think today diesil's 1p more expensive than petrol..........

cheddar cheese · May 10, 2004

i know the only way to save money in a diesel is to run it for a good few years, as the majority of diesel cars cost a couple of hundred £ more than thier petrol equivalent 8)
