Thanks everyone for the heads-up and hints.
A DP, I thought, was well outside my price range, and my lack of knowledge about diesels (other than diesel tractors I've had), further steers me to gas. But, I definitely want to open my mind to those of you who have made the switch and say the DP is far better. I've heard that diesels will run longer and are tougher, but that maintenance and engine repairs can be considerably more expensive than gas engines. Is this true? t.
yes it's true. I am somewhat amused when I read posts from DP owner's who say it is not any more expensive, then when I read the small print, they do their own servicing. I haven't changed the oil in anything bigger than a lawnmower the past 50 years.
