The middle part is hollow too. (Jules Verne: Journey to Center of
Earth)
Actually, If you read all of my post, I did allow that it could run,
under some very special conditions, tail pipe full of fuel/air mix, hot
carbon deposits that would cause it to diesel, and awfully weird luck.
I just haven't gotten to the part of how to fill the ex. pipe
with fuel/air mix that would diesel. Dieseling in the forward mode
is the very common one that I know of. Mike
