Re: brunswick turbo diesel wvo
Tom,
Turbo diesels run just as well on WVO as non-turbo diesels do. Oops, Turbo diesels run much more powerfully on WVO than non Turbo diesels run on WVO, due to the Turbo, nothing else!.
Some engines have weak injector pumps, especiually the Stanadyne and CAV/Lucas/Delphi brands.
It would be desirable to use a 2 tank conversion anyway, but essential for engines with those IPs.
What make of engine do Brunswick Diesels use for their turbo conversions?

Re: brunswick turbo diesel wvo
Do these have inline IPs or rotary?
