[AT] Canola to diesel

[Tom Yasnowski]

I fail to see how putting a throttle plate no longer makes it a "true 
diesel".

You also previously  said "They require glow plugs for starting and a heated 
ball pin
(acting like a constant glow plug) for continued running." Again, nonsense 
from personal experience.

And now you say: "They cannot run as compression ignition unless the 
throttle plate is opened.  You could learn that if you try."

So what is it? Throttle plate or glow plugs that keeps it running?

I am no mechanic, but a throttleplate regualates fuel supply.- doesnt cause 
ignition but could prevent it if it closed....well no kidding!




Compression still causes ignition.
