I've never owned a diesel anything but have been at gas stations where a diesel was being gassed up and the smell was stronger than gasoline. I can't imagine that on a hot day stuck in traffic on a bike.

Put a diesel on a Vaqu or Voyager and I'll get one.

The same more or less,the government used to tax diesel far less than petrol to get us all to drive diesel car's,good for the environment and all that shit they said, just as soon as all the manufacturer's geared up to making them, and we all bought one,they upped the diesel tax. Now they are telling us diesel is worse than petrol,and we all got to buy a GREEN car that run's on corn/maize oil.So in order to meet the demand,people are getting paid more for selling their crop's to the Agrifuel company's while their neighbour's starve. I used to run my car's and van's on tax free red agricultural diesel, that was about £0.60 (90cents) per gallon, but the good old European union put a stop to that,and now all the farmer's are going bust because of it. Brilliantly thought out dont you think ! Sorry for the rant.
