So thats where all the fuel is going to push up our fuel prices.

Could be NCovey, I'll bet it costs at least $4 per revolution to fuel that beast

Would truly love to see the front end suspension that'll hold that monster. :-laf :-laf

doubt it... I'm thinking gravity feed from a 4" pipe plumbed into a 10,000 gallon tank that is piped directly to the refinery.



Oh, and I wouldn't doubt that Don M. is working on building a set of Mach 2's for that bad boy!

Nah, it's cheaper than that... ..... @ $2. 289/gal, it only costs 11¢ per powerstroke. That works out to $1. 55/revolution for the 14 cylinder model... ... that is if I did my math right.

 

[MHalloran]

Would love to hear it runnin'! Does it CLATTER like our diesels do?

 

[Caveman]

OK, So how do you get it started?
