    I couldn't imagine 1000 at the wheels. I'd say a man would have to be careful with the driveline! I would love one.

    Most 3406A's were prechamber engines. Some were converted to direct but generally speaking prechamber engines weren't as efficient as direct injection.

    Don't you have to run like 20+:1 compression ratio for a PC + glowplug engine to be as efficient as a DI at 16:1 or 17:1?
    I wonder what the fuel efficiency figures would be on an Acert C15 running swirl chambers using electronic unit pumps.
