H1 fuel requirements (dumb question warning)
I have been told that the original (maybe military version) H1 could
burn *any* kind of fuel available, including gasoline. Since all the original Hummers were diesel, I don't see why they couldn't burn diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, heating oil, etc., but I can't see the same engine burning gasoline (even in any emergency) unless there was some sort of direct gas injection at some point well past top dead center (if that's possible at all). So the question is; can the original Hummer burn a range of fuel from diesel to gasoline in the same engine? |

To avoid tendency to knock and advanced ignition they work in sequence first with a mixture formation and then with a diesel like fuel injection. This demands of some special parameters. A high compression rate of 25:1, lubrication of fuel injection pump with an annular lubrication channel supplied from the engine lubrication circuit. In some cases an externally supplied ignition with spark plugs, etc. Regards, Ralf -- www.omnibusclub.de Erfinder des Abgasturboladers Dr. Alfred J.

So the question is; can the original >Hummer burn a range of fuel from diesel to gasoline in the same engine? It will burn diesel fuel (and/or B20). OK, heating oil (home) is non-tax paid diesel os that would work, but not legally. Anything else is not recommended. (And that's from a guy with two H1s) |
