Hello all...

I am seeking a special engine for a series of record flights I want to attempt...culminating in an around-the-world flight using the absolute minimum amount of fuel... I am hoping to do it on under 225 gallons...:ban:

I need a little light Diesel...

Either the Smart Car/Mercedes-Benz 799cc CDI...

or...

The VW 1.2 TDI as found in the new Lupo...

Or...if anyone has any other ideas...!!!!

Doesn't Peugeot make a tiny little all aluminium Diesel??

Might anyone here, from places where they acually sell those cars be able to help me find one???

I need a salvage engine...engine wiring harness and all the computers...the junkyard can keep the power steering pump and A/C compressor...I need the starter and alternator...:gig:

Dave
