These are computer controlled common rail engines

(1-800-Diesels).....

"Hello, Cummins? We're in a marina in (pick an exotic island) and it won't
start! I don't think the computer is injecting any fuel. Who's your
computer technician with that special computer terminal and years of
training that can fix it here?"

Might be interesting to call 'em to see what their response to this call
would be before buying it. Joe's Diesel and Tiki Bar, who fixes the
diesels in the fishing boats tied up aft of you, can fix the old,
mechanical Perkins/DD/Lister/Deutz/Yanmar with his tool box in the truck.
I bet he'd shake his head and just say "NO WAY!" to a QSL. It won't run on
coathanger wire and bubble gum like a 6-71 will.

It is something to think about on a boat you're going to cruise to very
exotic and backwards, technologically speaking, places with, isn't it?
