   @Citizen423 yes I’d like an old 70 series with a pre-DPF diesel in it, just in case.

     Any of you gear heads know about diesels? I don’t understand something and I’m hoping somebody can ELI5 it for me 😂

     @Sophistifunk some , a bit, not much, can try.

     @Circuit_deCrap in a non-common-rail system, with a hard line per cylinder from the high pressure fuel pump, the pump acts as a distributor for fuel, right? I saw Curtis from CEE pulling one apart today and the injectors have a return line? I don’t get why there would be a return line back to the HPFP.

     @Sophistifunk not all engine do (crd are different) , but return line returns excess fuel to the tank and in doing so helping maintain fuel pressure, and regulate the fuel temperature.

     @Citizen423 ah, that makes sense, it’s for accidental oversupply. The nozzle size and diesel’s viscosity are what keeps it out of the cylinder. Chur!

     @Circuit_deCrap that’s what the return line is for in a common rail diesel or DI gasoline engine, but traditional diesels have injectors that are always open, so I was thinking there would be no circulating fuel. Apparently it’s for an accidental overpressure / oversupply situation, to avoid a back pressure spike which would damage the (pump) pistons over time.

     @Sophistifunk yeah the older pumps didn't always deliver consistent pressure or have fancy sensors to control flow . Designed to give more, so needed an 'overflow' of sorts. Without it, vapor locks, high temps leading to irregular combustion become issues.

     @Citizen423 I’ve seen some local shops building cumminses but they all seem to be sourcing most of it from the states so I don’t know how common they are, diesels in general are more common here than the states, but not as common as on the continent. Road-legal diesel isn’t all that much cheaper than gasoline mile for mile in straya, so it’s mainly for working vehicles.

     @Citizen423 I glaze over when the channels I watch are doing diesel because I’m not into 4wding.

     I’ve got a ‘95 Chevy 6.5 diesel that I converted from the electronic controlled ds4 pump to the fully mechanical db2 injection pump that older modes used. I’ve run hundreds of gallon of used engine oil through it. I mixed it at 85% oil 15% regular gas. A little smokier out the tale pipe, but feels like more power.
     I had a free source for the used oil, so I was driving for next to nothing for a long time.
     After the EMPs go off, this truck will still be running.

     @CliffordTheBigRedDog @Sophistifunk I guess never shut it off then as you'd still need electricity to start it.

     Also, burning engine oil in place of diesel? Seems a bit fucked, like how does that not clog up your injectors or just make it run like absolute trash?

     @Citizen423 @CliffordTheBigRedDog when he says oil he means diesel, it’s not a solvent like gasoline it’s a very light mineral oil that’s why you can burn rapeseed oil once it’s warmed up in a diesel.

     @Sophistifunk @Citizen423
     No I mean straight up engine oil cut with gasoline. The gasoline thins the oil so it about the same viscosity of diesel. I’ve also run through a couple hundred gallons of hydraulic oil. That doesn’t need cutting and can run 100% straight hydraulic oil.

     15% gasoline 85% oil runs just like diesel. Not uncommon at all. Diesels can run on all kinds of mixes.

     @CliffordTheBigRedDog @Citizen423 the individual cells should be unaffected, but all batteries are managed by chips these days. EV motors will probably be destroyed by induction in the coils, unless protected by the faraday-cage-like properties of the monocoque.

     @Citizen423 @Sophistifunk
     (Not an EMP expert) Do batteries still work after an EMP? There’s no computer or electronics on the truck; just a battery and starter motor (I didn’t think those are affected by EMP, not that it matters since I’m not serious about the EMPs).
     Just wanted to share some of what can be done on older diesel in particular that makes them so resilient. If you’re not interested, no biggie.
