The magazine article I read said it was a diesel. We are getting into semantics here. Just because it doesn't run on #2 diesel doesn't mean it's not a diesel. The LARGE container ships and oil tankers have diesel engines that run on bunker oil. And that's diesel as in the engine Herr Diesel invented (which he originally tried to run on coal dust) as opposed to the engine Herr Otto invented. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_cycle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_cycle Craig _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
