That is a great old video. amazing to see those old engines and the people developing them.

I always hear from the wvo crowd that the Diesel engine was developed to burn peanut oil. Didn`t hear that mentioned at all.
But then this film was produced by Shell oil.

thank you for sharing this.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
