So it looks like I'll be buying a diesel truck shortly. This will be the first diesel vehicle in my family, and while I've driven them, and several of my friends have them, I don't know much about them. I'm looking for a Diesel for Dummies reference, can you guys give me any pointers please? Thanks, Michael |

I just bought my 1st. Not really that much to know. - finding a "gas" station is a bit harder - the pump areas are dirtier, since diesel doesn't evaporate - carry some gloves for filling up - if diesel gets on your hands it doesn't evaporate, and the smell doesn't wash off - there's a fuel filter that you need to release the water from. NBD - Turbo diesel = fun! I'm loving it. - most take a LOT of oil for a change (like 12 quarts) - there is a fuel filter that collects water, and you should drain that at ever fillup |
