Some Thoughts About Diesel Vehicles
By: GARKO

As you probably already know, diesel engines get better fuel economy than gas, and this is the natural consequence of the simple fact that they don’t need to burn as much fuel in order to generate the same amount of power. Diesel engines are built heavier than gas engines, to help sustain the added stress of the much higher compression ratios. Diesel is often looked at as being smelly, noisy, and many think the only place for it is in a tractor. The truth to diesel vehicles is that they are slow, noisy, smelly, although they are cheaper to run than gas. Diesel engines aren't as powerful as gas engines, as
gas engines produce more horsepower than that of a
diesel engine. Diesel vehicles however, offer more torque than gas. Therefore, it is a very thin line as to which one is better.

When it comes to power, diesel is the more expensive of the two. As a rule it is more expensive to purchase a diesel powered car than one that runs on gas, and the parts are a lot more expensive than gas vehicles. The diesel however, is more reliable due to it being less complicated
internally and heavier to build, therefore it normally lasts longer than gas engines.
Now, these components will drop to the bottom of the fuel tank and form diesel sludge. The fuel will begin to turn very dark in color, smell bad, and cause the engine to smoke. The engine starts to smoke as some of these clusters are small enough to pass through the engine filtration and on to the
combustion chamber.

When it comes to maintenance, 3,000 mile oil changes
are a must. Diesel fuel isn't as refined as gas,
so the oil will get dirtier faster. You should
also replace the air and fuel filters at least
once a year.
If you live in a colder climate, you'll need to
switch to a winter blend of fuel to prevent fuel
gelling. There are several additives that you can
put in the fuel as well, to help prevent your fuel
from getting gel.

When it comes to making the choice, you really have to choose what is best for you and your needs. If you want power with plenty of tuning options, then gasoline engines are what you want. On the other hand, if you want power and torque, then a diesel vehicle is what you want.

If you take care of your diesel vehicle, you can count on it to be around for years to come. Unlike gas vehicles, diesel engines are built for the long haul, and will last you for miles and miles if you take care of them.

As time continues to pass and technology gets better and better, one can only hope that the quality of diesel fuel improves. As it stands now, the quality isn't good at all. If you run diesel fuel, all you can basically hope for is that the fuel you are getting isn't contaminated.

Luckily there is a much better solution now available!

WATER4GAS is providing information for a nominal fee which folks can use at home to build a small gizmo which instills hydrogen into the gas/air mixture that their car or truck runs on.
What this does is make bite sized particles out of the ones that the engine uses as fuel. So it gets to use much more of it.
By doing this you can reasonably expect to improve your fuel economy by 30-50% or significantly more. Those goblets "musta" been pretty "blankin'" big in some engines before. But with WATER4GAS they are made usable so you can improve your fuel economy.
It also helps to lower emissions significantly.
This package of info has been purchased by over NINE THOUSAND car owners already and happy members number about 99%! So how about you?
