Hi new on this site. Live in Scotland UK I have a 94'chevy k2500 6.5 imported here from new. I don't think there is more than 4 or 5 of these vehicles in the whole of Scotland, so info can be hard to get over here. Sorry about the long intro, but I hope to start modifying the engine very soon. I'll send the vehicle spec soon with pictures. Thanks again for accepting me.

Wow $9 gallon diesel

Wow $9 gallon diesel

Yes $9 and I'm sure about 90% of the price is tax. Most cars over here are under 1.4 liter, 1.0 liter turbos are popular over here.American V8s don't exist here.

Only BIG engine cars are corporate or government, right?

Homemade bio diesel anyone?

I like the Cummins w/P7100 just for the "other fuels" value...of course there needs to be something to lube certain thing we can use for fuel.

I'm with Will...would love to be able to convert to run on bio/ etc...

$9 a gallon, you can bet I would be doing something!

What all is in your game plan?
What is your common uses for it?

Here in some states we can not swap the ds4 ip for the older db2 because of emissions laws, even though the db2 burns just as clean, and usually cleaner. Can you do that there?

Compound turbocharging will make a DB2 run cleaner than what is new these days...the Swedes confirmed that way back 26/27 years ago but those make the regs were heavily invested in the crap a piss dispensers we see these days on diesels...not too say most if not all modern diesels can't benefit from compound turbocharging and getting rid of all that excessive crap & piss they use now.

Lest I forget; GB has banned diesels in the future 2040 too be exact.
