    Don't get hung up on engine size.
    Its irrelevant, what matters is bearing journal area relative to thrust.
    Simply better technology meaning more power from less and more reliably.
    High output small diesels have been around for years in Europe.
    We haven't been able to use them due to our high sulfur content in our fuel which is slowly improving.
    when you walk behind any modern diesel you can smell the sulfur but my old cruiser just smells like burnt diesel.
    Just being burnt so much more efficiently.

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Sorry Cam, I just wanted to politely point out that NZ actually has some of the cleanest diesel available internationally. Specifically that the sulphur content was reduced from 50PPM to 10PPM since January 2009 which makes it Euro V compliant as Ultra-low Sulphur Content.

    Is there some sinister diesel plot that we should be aware of?
