Netters: I read an article in the Oct. 26th Wall Street Journal that drew my attention to Fiat's 1.3 liter (1259 cc) Diesel engine that is being used in many Euro small cars. This peeked my interest in light of a couple of entrys that appeared on this forum so I investigated on the net.
The performance specs for that engine are 69 hp and 125 ft. lb of torque at 2000 rpm which is interesting. What I have not been able to find is the weight of this engine with its injector pump and all things needed to make it run plus of course the cooling and electrical systems. I invision then that it would need to find "Jet A" or the diesel fuel used by the military to be acceptable. Are their any KR-Netters out there that can obtain weights and reliability info on this engine? This may need to come from some of Non-USA contributers since diesel are not all that common here.
