What does the team think of petrol vs diesel?

In the main cars put out black smoke because of the turbo charger. To gain the extra power offered by the turbo more fuel is injected which is all well and good when it gets the extra air pushed in by the turbo. Once the turbo starts to fail then you get black smoke as accelerating.And when it gets old, will Diesel put out horrid black smoke like cars do?
Sounds a bit like my dad's old paraffin blowlamp. Seeing start attempts used to frighten the bejesus out of me when I was a kid.You can get petrol engines to run on 28 sec gas oil once they are hot. Honda did one I seem to remember Tractors ran in this a lot it was called TVO tractor vaporising oil basic idea was rap TVO fuel line around exhaust to pre-heat start and stop on petrol but run on TVO.
.. but we (at least, most of us!!) used meths to get them started, not petrol - which is an awful lot safer (and I still have at least one in the cellar!).Sounds a bit like my dad's old paraffin blowlamp. Seeing start attempts used to frighten the bejesus out of me when I was a kid.

Indeed. I have, and regularly use, a paraffin-fuelled weed burner (aka flame-thrower!) which has to be fired up in the same sort of fashion.I remember using meths to get paraffin lamps hot before lighting them when I was in the scouts
