    I believe in leading by example so I'll start, though I know very little....

    Im saying a lifted diesel; NOT a 6.0 or 6.4 Powerstroke.

    Thats as far as I can go with my limited knowledge/experience.

    What good is a truck without working fuel pumps?

    You won't be hauling much cause no one else will have fuel ether, right?

    The supply chain will stop. Did we not learn anything from the scamdemic?

    Wouldn't one be a LOT better off with a quick little fuel efficient car? Motorcycle? Fast e-bike?
    I like all bikes and econocars have their benefits, but something that can burn WVO or dirty oil would be sweet.

    Diesel trucks are like Harleys. Way too loud to be stealth in SHTF.

    You'll be a target all can hear coming, miles away.

    It works for me though. I have the distances measured to my neighbor's instant on natural gas generators. Who knows what I'll collect from the incoming noisy marauders?

    If we want to be stealthy, We will walk.

    Can one run 25 different fuels through his gasoline engine?
    The answer is nope.
    Loads of fuels will run in my 7.3 International, I can also do transesterification and easily make good fuel. Loads of cooking oil dumpsters in this country.
    One can't do that with gasoline engines.
