Well,
Never seen so much talk about idling a diesel. After over 35 years of running, driving and maintenancing diesels on FD, we two reasons to mess with the idle.
At the Spartan factory a few weeks ago, they couldn't stop telling us how hard the fire departments are on their vehicles, for a number of reasons. Yes, they race from place to place in stop and go traffic and are weighted with heavy water and gear, but also, Spartan claims that there is a different breed of person who can do the demanding and dangerous job of firefighting and they aren't always apt to care for the equipment properly. They are more "Get 'er done" type people.
