Diesels have carbuerators?


This one's that old it does!!!!!!! ;)

Point taken, but it does have a decent air preheat box that will allow it to
start on really cold mornings... just turn the key to preheat and let it
warm up the box for a moment.

I was refering to the loss of power with the inlet air being warm rather
than cold and the loss of engine power with heat applied. The same effect of
loss of power is observed when heating the inlet air on a diesel engine or a
petrol fuel injected engine as well as a carby engine.

The example with the old truck is to show that ambient temperature can cause
a reduction in engine power and that a similar reduction in power is
experienced when carby heat is applied.

Hope this helps,
Peter
