Tinkered with cars for years; one day it occured to me that the diesel was the perfect powerplant for any vehicle - especially the family car! What else could be better: no sparkplugs, no ignition points (understand, this was years ago I came to this realization), no condensor, no distributor cap, no rotor, no ignition wires, you can throw the battery out on the side of the highway and keep driving! AND, probably the BEST feature: IF you did get into an accident so severe that the fuel tank split open, your chances of a spark igniting the fuel is rather slim! Really reassuring if you happen to be trapped in that said car. Matt C.
