that little red pickup with the complicated-looking diesel engine in the
bed-- they told me they use nitrous.  Ask them how their mixtures are
staged, if you know who they are.  (I can't remember name or number, but
Sparky might.)

I have heard that diesel engines really like nitrous but I don't know what
people typically use for secondary fuel.

Ever body knows that you can tell if a truck has a diesel cycle engine
cuz it's noisy as hell
when it's idlin and the fuel leaves spots on your alligator boots.


Your note made me laugh Dave. Excellent points and made me wonder what would
happen if you used diesel fuel (138K BTU/gal.) as the secondary fuel
with nitrous oxide
in a motor.
