Andy, true but you work on those new fangled diesels controlled by computers... You know, the ones we can't get in the states. :-( The old diesels with mechanical fuel injection didn't control the fuel nearly as well as the new computer controlled engines, hence the wet stacking issues on some of them. I've heard of some of them slobbering so badly that diesel would run out the exhaust pipe joints. There can also be oil dilution issues.
