I really DO WISH diesel owners everywhere would get over this obsession they have with idling. Do they not understand they are wasting fuel?
There should be a big sticker on the dash---DO NOT IDLE!
A diesel at least ours, a before, the ammonia injectors, will no start out with engine stone cold.
In cool or cold weather it is idled about five to 10 minutes are so before pulling out.
We don't start out a dark minus thirty. Some early risers don't bother us.
Our exhaust or engine noise, I haven't measured the decibels.
Newer ones are even quieter.
Yes it is necessary to idle. The kokos of California and EPA, howling about wasting diesel, at fast idle of about 1100 rpm, or five or ten minutes and diesel generators. their moto if you have them don't use them, we won't allow it, as he jets to China burning 25000, gallons of fuel round trip.
Now to People who don't consider their Neighbors well we have seen few in the Parks and Resorts we frequent. Not noticeable at all in the bedroom unless their exhaust is right up next to us.
RVs parkins that close, are not RVing they are packed in an overnight stop at lying J or elsewhere.
