Re: diesel car

This is true its hard got get diesel in Austin right now.

Our lot have huge generators twice the capacity needed, but one won't start in the cold and we had to down tools for a few hours because we could not get fuel to keep the other ticking over.

Pumping fuel was not an option.

When is so cold diesel doesn't work and you have no electricity to heat engines you have a real problem.

We need gas heaters on the engines like they have in cold countries, that's hard to retrofit (safely)
