diesel vs. gas

eto lang masasabi ko, it's all a myth, (we own both type of engines) diesel engine's are easier to maintain like their gas counterpart.

pag mausok yung diesel mo, palitan mo lang yung fuel nozzle and then presto good as new, but how come many diesel engine owners doesn't do this? sa may mga pera- their suking mekaniko ay walang alam, sa may mga alam naman walang pambili(pampaseherong jeep kasi it cost 3k each and ang papalitan mo ay 8 depende sa auto(isuzu trooper)

We used to own gas fed cars back in the 70s 80s and mid 90s. Noong nag taasan na presyo sa gasolina nag shift kami sa diesel. Masmatipid and masmatibay. Ung L200 ko na 17 years never pa ako tinirik sa daan.

Tama ka diyan. Ako ngayon taon ko lang nalaman ang nozzle tips sa diesel engine. Nalaman ko lang yan nung dinala ko L200 ko sa calibration nung nag leleak na ng diesel sa injection pump. Pinalitan nila yung mga seals sa injection pump tapos pinapalitan sa akin ung nozzles.

Usually kasi ang kabisado ng mekaniko ung suspension, hoses, transmission, belts. Pag fuel system di nila gaano kabisado.

Ngayon ok na takbo niya and konti nalang ang usok na binubuga.
