[AT] Detroits

Hey, does anyone know what the proposed changes in Diesel fuel for 2007
are?  I was talking to a man a couple of days ago who has a son working
for Cummins.  They are currently headed for New Mexico for a couple
weeks of testing on their new engine line before starting production for
compliance with 2007 fuels.  Since none of the fuel is available along
the route, they have to spot tankers at dealerships along the way for
refueling both coming and going.  Supposedly, they did the sub-zero
testing in a big controlled environment setting close to St. Petersburg,
Florida.

Heck it didn't matter how much oil they dripped.  It only took 24 quarts
to 
change the oil in a 8V71.  A 290 Cummins took 60 quarts.   As long as it

didn't drip 36 quarts between oil changes you were ahead of the game!

Cecil I have a soft spot for the old Detroits too.  If you knew how to
drive 
them they would get the job done as well as anything on the road at the 
time.

On that subject.  I hear that Detroit has recently come out with a
notice 
that they will NOT honor the warranty on any of their new engines that
have 
been run on Bio-diesel.   Something about the valves.
