Because diesel engines are more easily damaged by abuse, Warranty is limited to the usual two month after purchase, instead of life time.
After that period, all depends on MVVS grace for each individual engine.
engine 3022RC
Engine 3022
.15 diesel (2.5cc), rated at 0.478 kW @ 24000 rpm.
Steel liner and iron (meehanite) piston
props: 7x4 7x5 7x6 8x3 8x4 8x5 9x5 8x6 9x6 8x8
use tuned silencers: 3241, 3242
(If you run with muffler, detach the muffler after running)
Fuel: 40% Ether, 40% Kerosene, 20% Castor Oil
0-2.5% IPN or equivalent may be added to the mix.
!!!! Use 30% oil for running in.!!!!
The addition of ignition improvers like IPN (Iso-propyl-nitrate) or
Amyl-nitrate allows the engine to run at lower compression settings
without loss in performance, and achieve higher rpm as well. Availability of these ignition enhancers may be quite difficult. Truck diesel engine fuel cetane boosters also have shown promising results. These are readily available at gas stations
For racing, IPN may replace part of the ether, or even all of it, and
the oil content may be much lower by adding extra kerosene. Beware:
The engine then runs much hotter, is harder to adjust, and MTBF is greatly
reduced.
Be warned: Engines are easily fried this way.
(MTBF = mean time between failures, also called life expectancy of the
engine)
Reverse Running crankshafts are available.
