Hi everyone. This is my neighbor. To summarize: _My neighbor has a jet engine in the bed of his pickup truck._ That may seem like a negative quality to some, (not me). Definitely takes the heat off me and my drones :-) /message ends _ps-_ fooking outstanding, Sir!
Fabulous, well done. It runs beautifully. I take it the pressure cylinder next to the propane bottle is CO2 for starting? Ah ok, edit, it isn't! I've just seen you using a leafblower.
We found out that the electric leaf blower didn't quite have the power to spool it up enough, so I hooked up a compressed air tank to get us up to idle speeds. We started it with propane and tried transitioning to diesel, but I don't think I had enough fuel pressure set before I killed the propane and the whole engine shut off. Trial by fire.
@@rocketman_mike Indeed. Excellent stuff. You are at the end of a path that I am just setting out on. I had thought of using compressed air start, from air stored in a bottle.
The compressed air impingement start works very well and it only costs me $6 to refill the tank. Haven't found out how many starts I can get from one fill yet.

@@rocketman_mike Thank you for the useful information. The next time I post a video on my channel I will give you a mention.
