  • Diesels that run CNG/Prop run it WITH the Diesel as an additive/power boost/starter aid. It is not a replacement fuel.

    Propane/CNG injection is done through the intake manifold, not the injectors/fuel system. A diesel cannot and will not run solely on sparkable fuel.

  • Old mechanical injection diesels use the same principles of physics as the new ones do, just with electronic timing and fuel injection. I mean, the engine may on this stuff at least once. For some length of time. You can also do pretty much anything at least once. It's the consequences that are the issue. You're just doing the damage slower by diluting the fuel that doesn't belong.

  • No they won't, unless they're built with a gasoline based engine, which almost no one orders, because the mileage to fuel ratio, cost, and power are terrible for OTR hauls.

    Diesels will run on lots of less refined oils using only the heat of compression, like kerosene and fuel oil, as well as being able to run on their own oil (diesel runaway). However CNG, Propane, Gasoline, and other commonly sparked fuels will, in very short order, catastrophically destroy your diesel engine because they detonate at much lower compression than diesels require.

    Furthermore, you'd ruin your high pressure fuel pump as gasoline doesn't have the required lubricity. The injectors would probably be fine, but your pump and your cylinders/pistons/crank/rods/mains would be having extremely bad days.

  • My last grow of WW was crazy frosty! That plant did about 1/4LB on her own :) It's a great crowd pleaser. I think my next run will be Barney's LSD. I should get going on that...

  • I've used jeweler's eye loupes for extensive periods. They're not terrible to hold in place unless you're sweaty. If it's too small it can become hard, but it generally rests in your eye well and is held in with friction rather than muscles. I do have a set that clip to my glasses now, which I need as I've gotten older. Those are easy.

    People who only need correction in one eye get glasses with a prescription in one eye, and a plano lens in the other, which is just a clear lens with no correction or adjustments.

  • Donald Trump asks supporters for $15 donations to 'get him to heaven'

  • I'm probably not the guy to ask this question to, but I would speculate based on our currently available science, sufficiently warped spacetime could make this possible, however incredibly difficult to achieve without sufficient technology and energy.

    It would be easier to use physical forces or chemical forces to turn the camel into material with low enough viscosity to pass through the needle. I don't believe it was stated anywhere that the camel had to be assembled upon delivery.

    I don't have good confidence that the camel would comfortably survive, or even be correctly assembled, if it were stuffed through the same aperture using warped spacetime instead. Someone smarter than me would have to tackle that one, but spaghettification comes to mind.

  • What music do you like to fall asleep to?

  • Rain or Thunder is very calming to fall asleep to. Though most often it's with a TV show on. Something I've seen a bunch before and can nod off to, without missing anything. Just comfort noise.
