California Gasoline Is More Than Double the Price in Texas, What Do You Pay? California leads the nation in top gasoline prices, over double Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana😛😛😛
My car requires premium gas. I was surprised a few days ago when I went to Costco to fill up and paid $6.05/gal. Three weeks ago I paid $5.20 at the same store. The newspapers are putting the blame on, as usual, refineries shutting down for maintenance and the hurricane, even though I don't think oil from the gulf makes its way to CA in any noticeable volume. Why refineries would shut down for maintenance with a hurricane approaching and in the middle of Putin's Folly war is beyond me. It's almost like giving the middle finger to their customers.
I pay the Florida price. I was never happier than when I left California after living there for 2 years. Idiotic gas policies there have caused Californians to have to self-rely on refining their own gas in the same way Texas self-relies on their own energy. It's understandable why California wants to go all Electric in 10 years because their policies have all but ensured there won't be any gas refined there so they will be screwed if they aren't all electric or will have to relax their refining policies to allow in gas refined elsewhere.
"I-35 is a cluster f*ck from Laredo to Dallas. The electric grid is not functional. Crime has gotten worse. Taxes have skyrocketed so that we now pay more than California and Massachusetts." All third world countries are like that. Crumbling infrastructure. Lots of crime. Ever higher taxes. Ever more "regulations" banning captives like you from routing around the worthless leeching trash benefitting from keeping it so. Nothing unique to Texas, California nor any of the other states in the Dystopian States of once-was-America.
If you find that you need a lower gear ratio for 5th gear it is an easy swap to replace 5th gear from a single cam trans. Single cam 5th gear will lower rpms at same speed. The cover on the end of the trans houses 5th gear and is a quick swap. I have done this to gain better mpg in the past. Just be sure to replace the set of gears on both shafts and use the syncros on the single cam gear set. Basically just swap everything inside the end housing. The sound is fine and wish you a speedy recovery.
Its fortunate, that most 5-speeds have only two bearings per shaft and the fifth so easily accessible. I think Toyota also builds a transverse six-speed box (EC6X) with the last two gears facing the end of the shaft. VWs, in contrast, have a third bearing at the end of the shaft.
The Old Semi's Came With a Few Hundred Gear Ratios. Up to 16 speed gear boxes, plus Two & Three Speed Splitters, and High Low Rear Diffs. """" BUT """" Besides A Turbo, Gota Put A Jake Brake on It. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!!!!
Going to be cool seeing you test this engine. I know a guy that put a 50hp tractor engine in a Ford ranger. It got up to speed fine. The truck got 40 mpg.

Right now I live in a 100+ year old school building that’s been converted to apartments. It has the most wonderful original wood floods, and the light through the windows in the mornings is fantastic. My dog spends the first few hours after sunrise moving from sunny spot to sunny spot just basking. But those glorious windows are wood framed, single pane originals that are stunningly drafty. Like sometimes I think paper taped into the frames would keep the cold out better. And occasionally I get whiffs of broccoli but I can’t tell where it’s coming from.
I live in Eagle Rock which is an older neighborhood in northeast Los Angeles. Although we live in a city, LA is a hilly place with canyon neighborhoods. Last month we caught a few coyotes in our yard and last week our dog was skunked for the 8th time (she can’t resist them).

If it’s got glow plugs it’s an indirect injection motor not a direct injection. With a indirect there is a small chamber to the side of the combustion chamber where the injector sprays and the glow plug heats for cold start. As a result of this extra chamber the head is weaker on a indirect injection diesel and the compression has to be lower as a result. With modern direct injection motors they bumped the compression up causing more heat on startup and that’s why direct injection don’t need/use glow plugs.
You should just leave the diesel at idle, run a 20kw generator from its output, then an electric motor to the transmission, this will increase mpg, and extend the life if the diesel dramatically, while giving you a straight line torque curve for the transmission input.
@@reverse_engineered I just pulled it out of my arse. If you convert mechanical energy into electricity, and then electricity back into mechanical energy, be prepared to expect at least a 40% loss in efficiency.
It only takes 5hp to go 65mph, but not requires a straight line torque curve not a bell curve offered by the engine. Also, an engine at idle speed 1000-2000rpm uses less than half the fuel consumption of an engine with variable rpms and constantly changing torque output. That's why freight trains use the exact same principles to achieve better fuel economy.
oh man a rotary pump 3cyl diesel, reminds me of the 1.4 tdi engine we got in vw group cars here in europe ahah (they had pd pumps, though), this one could even maybe benefit from bigger injector nozzles and it shouldnt even have a big impact on the mpgs ;)
A quick correction: not all diesels are direct injection. In fact, most automotive diesels (in the US) older than about 1995 are not direct injection. They’re indirect injection, or IDI. The concept is similar, but rather than injecting the fuel directly into the cylinder, they inject the fuel into a small “combustion chamber” that is built into the cylinder head and separate from the cylinder, which is also usually where the glow plug is. It’s also typically injected via a poppet valve at a much, much lower fixed pressure than a direct injection diesel (5000psi vs 25,000psi on a direct injection). Since this Kubota is a small, non-turbo industrial engine that isn’t subject to typical automotive emissions requirements, I’d be willing to bet that it is IDI as well, not DI.
You realize you can literally look up the engine specs? Why keep going on about direct vs indirect? It's a tier IV emissions engine. All engines have emissions standards no matter the application. Injection pressure has nothing to do with direct vs indirect.
My bad, I have owned a few semi vintage Mercedes with the OM60x engines and I'm aware of the prechamber stuff. What I meant by direct injection was the fuel is injected on the other side of the intake valve
@@ShainAndrews They have emissions standards yes, but actual requirements vary greatly depending on applications. This is why you can still buy 2 stroke generators and chainsaws and industrial engines (like this one) with IDI, yet you'ill never see something like that in a car. Also, injection pressure has everything to do with DI or IDI. Former requires a lot higher pressures (typically over 1500bar) yet with IDI you can get away with 1/10th of the pressure. Similar to petrol engines; port injection requires A LOT lower pressure than direct injection.
Genius! Brilliant explanation as usual. Now I finally understand why a pedantic engineer friend always used to say that "diesels don't have throttles". ;-)
I found those little Kubota engines need a good 20-30 seconds of glow plug to start up well. Also, I would bet these are Indirect Injection engines and not Direct Injection. Lastly, the pump looks to be a gang version of the Bosch PFR pumps. In larger engines each cylinder is fed by a discrete pump, but this is so small they just put all the pumps in one housing. It looks like the "fuel adjustment" is just a rack stop, since these use a rack and pinion arrangement to rotate a sleeve which changes the effective fuel flow.
As always, love the video. Oh just wanted to let you know, if you got power windows in that thing, just wait until you have to change a window motor. Get this, the plastic skin comes off the OUTSIDE of the door, no shit. You don't take off the inner door skin, you take off the nice fancy painted plastic outer shell, basically, the outside of the car door. It looks so goofy, too. Well, can't wait to see the next video. That Kubota three cylinder is pretty much indestructible, my buddy had one in his tractor. His neighbor thought it would be fun to drive it into his swimming pool, and the next morning I woke up to see diesel fuel, in an upside down Kubota tractor floating in the water. So I made two big wooden ramps, drug it out of the pool with the Blazer, emptied all the fluids, drain the spider and pump, filters..... Believe it or not, after replacing the battery, she fired right up and ran again. My suggestion to y'all if you ever drive your Kubota 3 cylinder into a swimming pool overnight, get it running again ASAP, and it'll be no corrosion or rust damage occurred. Just a little helpful tip that you probably already know, LOL

They're all grey coloured case sealers, and probably not best suited for gasket dressing. If that pan ever has to come off, it's coming off with a chisel and lots of cursing.
Your levels are spot on... please thank your hearing crew for their fine assistance... In the mean time I'm really looking forward to your ac powered Saturn...
Sorry to hear about your hearing loss, I would recommend you have some ambient noise on especially when it's quite. The 8th cranial nerve can develop atrophy over a long period of time (4 weeks plus) and cause server tinnitus even after a conductive hearing loss is resolved. This will also mean you're gonna need to be more proactive about wearing hearing protection around hazardous noise since you will be more vulnerable to sensorineural hearing loss. May you have a speedy recovery and thank you for your content.
New car smell is actually the smell of various volatile organic compounds that are used to manufacture the car. The smell is intoxicating and the manufacturers are adopting measure and techniques to get rid of this smell.
Jimbo - you sound fine; the videos have been sounding fine; and that Kubota sounds SWEET! This is gonna be a great series, I'm getting my popcorn ready. I hope the garden gnomes don't try anything tricky...
What a happy little engine! I can't wait to see these tests. You'll be proving what Europe knew for a long time. A small diesel engine in a lightweight car actually gets great fuel economy with enough torque to move around. The audio in the videos has been fine to my ear, and I'm pretty picky. Great work!
Go anywhere besides North America and most of their market is diesel, because when tuned properly, is more fuel efficient and cleaner than a gasoline engine.
Thank you for these really entertaining videos (especially without all the hoopla). I hope your hearing comes back soon and I look forward to seeing more of your content.
the sound quality is perfectly fine, just noticed that the music was gone, but doesn't really shock me or whatever; lets me focus on the content better. get well soon!
Damn! You are sooo lucky. Those Kubota engines are ridiculously expensive even used with thousands of hours on them. I needed one for a light tower once and I had to pay $1.500 for a almost worn out one.
Only thing about the sound I noticed, no uplifting intro music at the start, but it was there at the end at least... :D As for the engine, wow, that thing started up easy once it was all primed and ready to go, so used to hearing those kind of things crank over for ages before they catch, even with glowplugs...

Cool video 👍one little note, not all diesels have direct injection. Indirect injection (IDI) is also very common. There's a bulb off the top of the combustion chamber where the fuel is injected
Yeah, older diesel engines were mostly indirect injection, as that required simpler injectors and pumps along with lower cost. And you can run different types of fuel (like veggie oil). These types of diesels were actually used in cars well into the 90s, at least by VW.
My bad, I have owned a few semi vintage Mercedes with the OM60x engines and I'm aware of the prechamber stuff. What I meant by direct injection was the fuel is injected on the other side of the intake valve.
I didn't notice anything off on the audio - hope your issues clear up soon!

You should just leave the diesel at idle, run a 20kw generator from its output, then an electric motor to the transmission, this will increase mpg, and extend the life if the diesel dramatically, while giving you a straight line torque curve for the transmission input.

Lastly, the pump looks to be a gang version of the Bosch PFR pumps. In larger engines each cylinder is fed by a discrete pump, but this is so small they just put all the pumps in one housing. It looks like the "fuel adjustment" is just a rack stop, since these use a rack and pinion arrangement to rotate a sleeve which changes the effective fuel flow.
As I understand it, it may in fact be a rack stop.

As always, love the video. Oh just wanted to let you know, if you got power windows in that thing, just wait until you have to change a window motor. Get this, the plastic skin comes off the OUTSIDE of the door, no shit. You don't take off the inner door skin, you take off the nice fancy painted plastic outer shell, basically, the outside of the car door. It looks so goofy, too. Well, can't wait to see the next video. That Kubota three cylinder is pretty much indestructible, my buddy had one in his tractor. His neighbor thought it would be fun to drive it into his swimming pool, and the next morning I woke up to see diesel fuel, in an upside down Kubota tractor floating in the water. So I made two big wooden ramps, drug it out of the pool with the Blazer, emptied all the fluids, drain the spider and pump, filters..... Believe it or not, after replacing the battery, she fired right up and ran again. My suggestion to y'all if you ever drive your Kubota 3 cylinder into a swimming pool overnight, get it running again ASAP, and it'll be no corrosion or rust damage occurred. Just a little helpful tip that you probably already know, LOL
11:40 Not all diesels are direct injected and if im not mistaken yours is actually and IDI.
After watching JIMBO. he will make it work🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇
Hondabond is some of the best sealant I've ever used!
i will take your word
Yes! another Hondabond user.
@@robotcantina8957 Hats off to HONDABOND!
Threebond product labeled for the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers.
There was Yamabond and Kawibond too.
No real difference among them. They're all grey coloured case sealers, and probably not best suited for gasket dressing.
If that pan ever has to come off, it's coming off with a chisel and lots of cursing.
@@jimurrata6785 so theyre threebond remarketed under different names i see!
Your levels are spot on... please thank your hearing crew for their fine assistance...
In the mean time I'm really looking forward to your ac powered Saturn...
Sorry to hear about your hearing loss, I would recommend you have some ambient noise on especially when it's quite. The 8th cranial nerve can develop atrophy over a long period of time (4 weeks plus) and cause server tinnitus even after a conductive hearing loss is resolved. This will also mean you're gonna need to be more proactive about wearing hearing protection around hazardous noise since you will be more vulnerable to sensorineural hearing loss. May you have a speedy recovery and thank you for your content.
When you pay attention to boredom it gets unbelievably interesting.
Audio sounded perfect! Hope you feel better soon… thanks for the great video content!!! My Sunday is complete 🙏🏼

Fallen leaves on the ground are the golden song of immortal creativity.
I hope you add a throttle body so you can remotely cut the air in the case of a runaway.
Hope is hearing the music of the future. Faith is to dance to it.
I didn't hear any issues with the video! Looks and sounds good! Super excited about this swap!
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
New car smell is actually the smell of various volatile organic compounds that are used to manufacture the car. The smell is intoxicating and the manufacturers are adopting measure and techniques to get rid of this smell.
I dont usually "watch" the videos but enjoy hearing things happen and the commentary. The sound quality is great! Keep it up, champ!
I wonder what turbocharging this engine would do 😮
Danger do not upset the hose, you never know what an angry hose is capable of. Greatly enjoy your show.
I can't wait to see the road test of this build
The audio is impeccable, I wish you a speedy recovery nonetheless
Thanks Jimbo! Best video in a while!
Jimbo - you sound fine; the videos have been sounding fine; and that Kubota sounds SWEET! This is gonna be a great series, I'm getting my popcorn ready. I hope the garden gnomes don't try anything tricky...

That little engine really runs good.
Great video.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care, Ed.
What a happy little engine! I can't wait to see these tests. You'll be proving what Europe knew for a long time. A small diesel engine in a lightweight car actually gets great fuel economy with enough torque to move around. The audio in the videos has been fine to my ear, and I'm pretty picky. Great work!
Case in point: VW Lupo 3L, 1.2L 3cyl TDI..
@@tech4pros1 Exactly. Europe was getting 50+ MPG long before it was cool and we idiots in the USA can barely figure out 35.
I do love diesel cars. Wish more came that way from the factory.
Go anywhere besides North America and most of their market is diesel, because when tuned properly, is more fuel efficient and cleaner than a gasoline engine.
The sound is 100% professional sounding thanks BigAl California.

Thank you for these really entertaining videos (especially without all the hoopla). I hope your hearing comes back soon and I look forward to seeing more of your content.
This will be great. Thanks Stuart.
the sound quality is perfectly fine, just noticed that the music was gone, but doesn't really shock me or whatever; lets me focus on the content better.
get well soon!
As an experiment we eliminated the music and the intro in the beginning.

Damn! You are sooo lucky. Those Kubota engines are ridiculously expensive even used with thousands of hours on them. I needed one for a light tower once and I had to pay $1.500 for a almost worn out one.
Dogs don’t understand you are controlling the car, to them you are both just being whisked away to a new location in a magic box.

Only thing about the sound I noticed, no uplifting intro music at the start, but it was there at the end at least... :D
As for the engine, wow, that thing started up easy once it was all primed and ready to go, so used to hearing those kind of things crank over for ages before they catch, even with glowplugs...

I noticed nothing out of the ordinary on sound but I did notice something extraordinary about your mechanical abilities.
Love these videos . Those Kubota engines are bulletproof.
Cool video 👍one little note, not all diesels have direct injection. Indirect injection (IDI) is also very common. There's a bulb off the top of the combustion chamber where the fuel is injected
That’s indirect injection.
Just look how the injectors obviously do not go into the combustion chamber
Yeah, older diesel engines were mostly indirect injection, as that required simpler injectors and pumps along with lower cost. And you can run different types of fuel (like veggie oil).
These types of diesels were actually used in cars well into the 90s, at least by VW.
My bad, I have owned a few semi vintage Mercedes with the OM60x engines and I'm aware of the prechamber stuff. What I meant by direct injection was the fuel is injected on the other side of the intake valve.
