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?


No hatred, and no he didn't answer the questions I asked.


Bill told you exactly the same thing as jps, he just used less words
to express the same thoughts. You reacted differently. There's your
"hatred".

Oh, and you never asked any questions in your post, you simply made
some statements of your understanding after having read a wiki. A
question would be something like... Am I correct? Do they work like
this? There isn't a single question mark in your post, or even a
sentence formed as a question.

Your conversational and social skills are sorely lacking.

Reply: He didn't. He didn't answer the second part. If you're unable
to
figure out there was an implied question and he did and attempted to
answer
it, your statement is what's lacking in brain power.




What's this "reply:" ****? Fix your news reader.


Outlook Express is far too complicated for her.


Life is, apparently, far to complicated for you.




Lame response.


Accurate response. See note on your "fear factor."



Outstanding!
