Title: Yanmar diesel enfield
Post by: timbo on March 14, 2015, 11:24:27 PM

Met this guy Steve on his 406cc Yanmar diesel, 18 litre, wide tank. Reckons he gets 700 to 800 miles per tank! Real nice fella, will maybe call up to the Shepherds Rest on it.

700 to 800 mpg sound like a dream to me...lol
If diesel engines where that good..why on earth don't they go main stream?
would be cool for getting to work on... :)
would really like to build /have one...
Just think..
no more rusty tanks..
A tank full would last me four maybe five years lol
