During my years as a motorcycle salesman, I had a veteran customer who had ridden the diesel KLR650. He said it was the slowest tractor of a bike he's ever ridden, but was absolutely unstoppable.
good old chieftain, brilliant vehicle providing the fire position is not to far way. (the British army on the Rhine had about had 1/6 of its tanks out of action because of that engine) It was later fixed though
I know that most of the multifuel engines used in US military equipment were very limited as to the amount of time they would run on gasoline, for the deuce and half it was something like 50 miles. Any time you are trying to get multifuel capability from an engine compromises must be made. A diesel engine running on jet fuel requires a lubrication additive to the fuel or you severely limit the life of the parts of the injection system that require that lubrication. Military mechanics that worked on Humvees told me they were only good for a couple thousand miles before failure when running on JP-8.
I really watching every video that you make, so informative and enjoyable to hear your voice and the work you do acquiring these videos is amazing. Keep it up!!
Diesel fuel, jet fuel, and kerosene are all essentially the same fuel. The difference is the additives. What is impressive is when a diesel can run on gasoline. This fuel has NO lubricating properties at all, and if the diesel injection pump can handle it with a bit of oil added, this is a fantastic development. -I've been told that diesels in Russia can run on alcohol mixed with motor oil; Here in south Florida all the city busses and the garbage trucks are diesels that run on compressed natural gas. Since the tank provides the pressure, there is no diesel injection pump to be lubricated so this works just fine and it is significantly cheaper to use CNG. Great video!
To expand on the international start on gasoline / run on diesel. These are 3 valve per cylinder. The third valve opens up a secondary combustion chamber that contains the spark plug and is where gasoline enters the cylinder. Once the engine is warmed up, this valve stays shut and the diesel injection pump takes over. Batteries and starters were not very good up until the 70's so large diesels needed this type of system or a small gasoline engine to act as a starter motor.
Love your videos. If you make a part 2 on this topic. Make sure to include the swedish Hesselman. A low compression diesel, with sparkplugs. Able to run on gasoline, diesel or kerosene. Always fauling the sparkplugs though. And because of that being nicknamed "Trasselman" - Troubleman.
Lister have been making simple long-lived diesel engines since 1929. UA-cam has articles showing that, once you have the Lister engine idling with a bare minimum of diesel fuel, you can add other fuels such as butane/propane into the air feed to increase output power.
Great video! diesel, kerosene, and jet fuel (requiring igniters in specific conditions) are similar enough in nature. 4t gasoline engine, however, is different in specifically requiring ignition for combustion for sufficient power.
That's about the most awesome amazing documentary about a type of engine ever. Deeply investigated it appears? I would happily watch a longer version of this too. But I may settle for seeing this again until I memorize the info. Very well done Visioracer👍🏆
MTU 838 and 873 and 883 used in leo1 and leo2 and merkava are also multifuel. V8X hyperbar from Leclerc is also multifuel. Perkins condor v12 from Challenger 2 is also multifuel. All these engines are 4 stroke
You can't go last on the carby engine. As any gasoline engine that only runs on a magneto coil and a pull start is gonna only use a carburetor. No fancy injectors and sensors can be found on hand held grass trimmers or chainsaws as no one wants to lug a unit around with pressure pumps and a battery. As for OHV, you can't find any last OHV as its still being used on the same products that use carburetor lawn mowers. The very mechanical simplicity and better efficiency compared to a flathead makes OHV a common valve layout found on any small engine. Even the marine engines opted to use OHV as those engines are not likely gonna scream to any greater than 1000rpm. OHC can only be beneficial if you run past 3k rpm and you now need have a valve layout that is reciprocatingly light and responsive. OHV tends to be best suited for constant power applications without hell screaming rpm. And no chain or belt slack to worry about.
Under the International harvester bit, don't forget about some of the tractors too that had different engines but used the same gasoline to diesel switch. Such as the WD-45, Farmall MD, W-6D w-9D and a few others
THE KLR-650 Motorcycle is still in productions as well as the suzuki DR-650 and the HONDA XL 650 these motorcycles have been made sense the 80s mostly unchanged
I have run my 1964 Mercedes w110 220D on all types of diesel, parraffin, kerosene , sunflower seed oil, rapeseed oil, olive oil, dextron II ATF and used 20w50 motor oil after it has settled for about two months and jet A-1 to 9 perfectly well. You have to change the oil in the fuel injection system when you change the engine oil though.
-One little secret that no auto manufacturer has exploited so far is that you CAN indeed use a spark plug to ignite a diesel power stroke. The reason this is not done is simplicity, but also, the plug will foul quickly. Try it, I did: I ran my lawnmower with a mixture of 75% diesel and 25% gasoline one day just to see what would happen, and while it was down on power, it got the job done with little fuss and ran fine afterwards after I drained the tank. The plug was FOULED though. There is the problem: The spark plug will foul, but the solution is an extremely powerful ignition system that can literally blow this fouling off. It can and has been done, but the cost is prohibitive and with a diesel you don't need the spark anyway, so that is why you don't see it.
As someone who owns a deuce I have to say it will run on anything that burns. That and the ldt 465 probably has more misinformation running around the internet than any other engine out there.
My grandfather had a Farmall MD had that same diesel engine he said it wasn't worth anything except for pulling a hair egg and I had a 1952 international West coaster semi truck that had the same big engine as the td-24 180 horse it started on gasoline you switched to diesel let me tell you it was great when it was bitter cold cuz you could start it let it warm up on about a 5 gallon can of gas throw the lever in the cab and she'd run as a diesel and just run all day
Want more videos on this topic! Maby even one video covering this topic in more detail? Having a hard time finding any sorce of info about how they work or are made.
Next:To 10 road car engines with more then 2-3 turbos or top 10 diesel engines reving to 7.000Rpm? 2:43 Why modern engines dont have this? Well in most videos about engines there is always lots of Russian stuff:)
The very best engine to be multifueled. Thats why they are a staple to the power production industry as they can burn the lightest flammable gas to the heaviest most non viscous bunker fuel ever known. Even powdered coal can be used.
Funny how Mazda claims their HCCi engines are the first in the world to burn gasoline like a diesel engine, when such multifuel ability already exist but is never brought forward till today.

I love that even after all these years your still making awesome videos. Love your content man.
hey mastermilo netherlands vlog. This is Tank engines ?
Man that chieftain sounds good
Listen to the Polish SW400 in the Bizon combine💪

jp-8 is ok for heavy duty diesel engines, done it enough to know
LDTs will run pretty happily on commercial or avgas if you mix in a few quarts of motor oil to lubricate the injection pump 👍
Isnt jet fuel kerosene? Wont diesel run just fine on K fuels?

I miss the lanz glühkopf engine. It could burn anything you wanted it to
seeing those trucks offroading at around 1:00 feels like watching a spintires gameplay
Great video, packed with stuff I’ve never seen before.
That military bike's engine sounded a drum following the beat to the Super Mario Star power-up theme.
If you can, do a video on the last carbed engines… also do a video on the last inline OHV engines
I'm in on this one

@@kimpatz2189 sorry, I missed to mention "production car's"
The Slow Dude lol
Such great videos on stuff I have never heard of or would ever hear of. Thank you for these videos and the information in them
MTU MB 873 Ka-501 (Leopard 2) is also multifuel unit.
That motorcycle has a nice sound.
Under the International harvester bit, don't forget about some of the tractors too that had different engines but used the same gasoline to diesel switch. Such as the WD-45, Farmall MD, W-6D w-9D and a few others
4:08 that sounds good

That was great. Thanks
THE KLR-650 Motorcycle is still in productions as well as the suzuki DR-650 and the HONDA XL 650 these motorcycles have been made sense the 80s mostly unchanged
Pretty much all of the things I want in 1 video!
Wow!, This is cool 😎👍
Good episode

You have to change the oil in the fuel injection system when you change the engine oil though.
I run my 7.3 power stroke off a oil diesel mix normally 5050 have yet to try jet fuel I mix for price reasons though lol
@@Wesleystewart78 kerosene is two thirds the price of diesel where I live, the others were just experiments to see if they would work.
@@andrewallen9993 it's been awhile since I've bought some used to be priced between diesel and gas around me
@@Wesleystewart78 It's because there is no tax on kerosene but there is on petrol and diesel.

The Volvo T43 tractor in the 40s had an interesting engine called the Hesselman engine which was basically a gasoline engine made to run on diesel.
As someone who owns a deuce I have to say it will run on anything that burns. That and the ldt 465 probably has more misinformation running around the internet than any other engine out there.
My mercedes OM603 runs on JET-A. Runs great, one quart of mobil 254 with a every fill up. Getting 400 miles city driving on a 35 year old engine.
My grand father had a Rusia jeep in 60s,can do all of that,one time he run out a brake fluid and he filled it up with a tea,and we got a brake again
My grandfather had a Farmall MD had that same diesel engine he said it wasn't worth anything except for pulling a hair egg and I had a 1952 international West coaster semi truck that had the same big engine as the td-24 180 horse it started on gasoline you switched to diesel let me tell you it was great when it was bitter cold cuz you could start it let it warm up on about a 5 gallon can of gas throw the lever in the cab and she'd run as a diesel and just run all day
Can you have a look at 5 stroke & the 5 stroke test work from CCM.....and the Norton Wolf..
800hp from a Tank, Leopard: Thats cute
Since 2003 or so, Brazilian cars are able to burn both gasoline and alcohol (ethanol), but they ate otto engines.
Bro every gas engine can use alcohol aswell
Why those big engines like ww2 aircraft/ tank (3:28) engines have two different stroke length for each side of the v engine?
Because they have main and slave conrods like radial engines ?
Thanks
I've heard the lanz bulldogs will run off basically anything
First like here
if i win the lottery... M1030 is the first thing im buying
Many of the very old tractors would start on petrol then switch over to kerosine, i think petrol was in short supply due to WW1.
2nd!
How do you find this stuff? I searched for multifuel engines before and hardly found details like this! And that last one, wow
Can a two stroke engine run on mix of alcohol 65, 70 proof with mix of petrol in half and half ratio..evn if inefficient
Want more videos on this topic!
Maby even one video covering this topic in more detail? Having a hard time finding any sorce of info about how they work or are made.
For the deuce engine at least, research the MAN Hypercycle. That should get you started on the theory of operation used.
If the trend with new engines continues, all engines will soon be diesel but some of them just burn gasoline
Petrol = Gasoline
Kerosene = Paraffin
👍
Next:To 10 road car engines with more then 2-3 turbos or top 10 diesel engines reving to 7.000Rpm?
2:43 Why modern engines dont have this?
Well in most videos about engines there is always lots of Russian stuff:)
their was a car that had the engine resting exactly above the transmission, in trying to find the video but its not their .did u delete??
i believe that car was the mini en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini
I still hate using L/100km it confuses me what i like is km/L
Why you ask? The answer: Why not?
Gas turbine engines will run on anything that will burn.
The very best engine to be multifueled. Thats why they are a staple to the power production industry as they can burn the lightest flammable gas to the heaviest most non viscous bunker fuel ever known. Even powdered coal can be used.
Drift racing a tank... 5:07
Another type of fuel to noise converter apart from detroit
Anything will burn a mix of both if you get the mix right.
HDT is 32 hp at most.
you mean petroleum
Average military vehicles.
Meanwhile in Russia... Drift races with tanks
It's the Tankathlon (tank biathlon), during the International Army Games (ie War Olympics).
Ah yes, non-electric hybrids
Every diesel engine can run on gasoline , but not very efficiently.
Funny how Mazda claims their HCCi engines are the first in the world to burn gasoline like a diesel engine, when such multifuel ability already exist but is never brought forward till today.
I'd stick to *REGULAR No. 2 diesel fuel* for a *diesel engine,* preferrably in *trucks.*
