Not your cup of tea, huh? ;)

I've been working on an essay for college for the past 12 hours now and maybe it's just my completely depleted brain cells... but this video made me laugh hysterically for at least ten minutes! You're my 5 star general, if you know what I mean!

[rewboss]

Wow. I'm such a natural comic talent, even my documentaries have people laughing.

[schlusselmensch]

@Magnexxxx Quite right, and fuel is introduced much earlier, not too far past bottom dead centre. That would quite possibly lift the heads off a diesel. I suspect "semi-diesel" was a marketing term used to give some impression of diesel economy and durability. Durability, hot bulbs had in spades but economy was nowhere near diesel levels. But try running your diesel on old crankcase oil or butterfat.

God theres some great stuff there, could'nt aford most of it back in the day but its great lookin at them

[johnsenkenn]

Alright....but a hot bulb still self ignite.

[rewboss]

Technically, Magnexxxx is correct. A diesel engine is not any engine that runs on diesel fuel; it's an engine that works according to Diesel's basic design.

@Magnexxxx

Well, it's running on diesel, does it not.

[Magnexxxx]

Great video ! The Lanz Bulldog engine is not a diesel engine, it is a "hot bulb" engine with a lot lower compression than a diesel engine.
