Apologies from me for getting well off topic, but it's interesting.+1 re' places with low emission zones - I cannot remember the last time I drove in London proper...though I do remember getting caught driving past Westminster Palace when the congestion charge first arrived. A few days later a brown envelope arrived from the Westminster Borough Rozzers, they wanted £60, to put three points on my licence if I didn't pay within x no' days and even enclosed a crystal clear photo' of me in the driver's seat !Fascists
+100 re' hydrogen, I've been following Bamford's H engines for some time...their smaller capacity engines are already in production. If the 2.5-3.0 engines fit in a Land Rover engine bay this is positively the way forward. Of course, we could just change the heads, fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel pumps and regulators on our TDi engines...fill up with H and off we go. I think there's a strong market for Land Rover H-ready heads and tank kits.
Porsche have been playing with synthetic fuels since the 1970's, same with their safety design concepts. Not sure if synth.fuels will gain market traction, though Porsche owners have always been gullible to what comes out of Zuffenhausen and blindly pay for the badge.
@LOGS_IN_BOGS , pls excuse off topic above. Trust all's better in the land of Discovery...
Birmingham is on the no go list too, or will be soon. And Bristol I think is following suit. No sign of the Cotswolds or the Yorkshire Moors going that way though
Land Rover issued 200TDI conversions when they released the engine, and I'm sure there would be similar appetite for H conversions if diesel is withdrawn from the pumps. But I don't see that happening in the next decade or so.
I know what you mean about Porsche, there's a quarry somewhere working on the amount of salt you need to take with it, but with 50 years research, they've gotta be close, right?
