I read the wiki on diesels, and I think I read that if a diesel is
running, then it doesn't need a spark (e.g., battery energy) to
keep
running. If that's the case, then it seems like you should be able
to
start a diesel by hand, assuming you have the muscle or leverage.
So,
in
the former case, even if your battery died - perhaps got wet and
shorted
out - then the engine would keep running. In the latter situation
if
the
battery was already dead, you might be able to crank it to start
it.

In the old days you could do just that. Any modern diesel has
electronic
controls.

I guess you're unable to understand what I wrote. Did I mention
recently
that you're an idiot?

Bill answered your post correctly. Why the hatred?

She lives for confrontation.

And, you're brain dead!


And you are argueing with him. What does that make you?



Entertained!


Thought so.



Thought?? You?? Doubtful.
