And the eco will get about the same mileage as a BT4 or a 3liter Perkins or any other similar size diesel. So what's your point?
I just can't leave! Watching these discussions is like a train wreck, just gotta see what happens next!
So why are the old two cycle Detroits so fuel hungry? They are noted fuel hogs in boats and on the road. Chris
Me Again, as was said above, the two stroke diesel has the highest BSFC figures EVER! In other words, they put out the most power for the fuel burned of any ICE that I know of. The bigger they get the better the BSFC gets.
An old two stroke made in the 30's is only 1% lower in BSFC figures than that of a modern common rail. Link Think about that! :E
