The cooling nozzles are there to help keep the piston temps down when the engine is loaded. Too much fuel, fueling beyond the design limits of the engine, causes more heat than the engine components were designed to take. When a turbo is added to the engine, you add heat to the cylinder. When...
That's all it's for, getting a dead vehicle started so it can be moved. In the repair industry, it seems trucks will start each and every day for the operator, but when the vehicle is brought in for a service event, it goes dead. A hot start is a fast way to get a truck running if it's dead...
As far as I know, no Detroit is a multifuel capable. And, caps, punctuation are your, and everyone else's, friend. Please use them, it makes things much easier to read [thumbzup]
