Well let me ask a quick queston?? Were does the fuel go after the precomustion chamber!? Oh wait the combustion chamber! and the only reason they have the precombustion chamber is to compensate for the lower fuel pressure. So in closing, fuel is introduced DIRECTLY into the combustion chamber compared to an mechanical INDIRECT system that introduces gasoline before the valve. Thank you that is all!
If you would have listened: ''look it up and edit your post'', then everyone on here wouldn't have to see your foolish angry defensive posts
so quit getting your panties in a bunch and take this as a learning experience, part of life is admitting you are wrong.
Also to the OP: my idi gets about 18, that is mainly town driving, pulling farm wagons some, if I drive straight highway at 60 I have seen 20-21... IDI guys love their IDI's and Powerstroke guys love their PSD's... All a matter of preferance, my turbo'd idi is not much different power wise then my buddies 02 PSD, when the chip isnt turned up. but with his chip on economy, about 17mpg is all he gets out of it....

Wow now your comparing diesel to a gas engine. A couple posts up you said diesels inject directly into the combustion chamber. Thats not the case with in-direct injection as you just learned. Hence a distinction with a difference.

The argument was ill timed and directed, IH refers to them as IDI or DI. I'm not going to argue with them. John may have to wait a while to post again. I'm not the brighest bulb in the box but I'm sure insulting you guys isn't going to help. Back to original topic, the 5% Bio I was using is being discontinued. I noticed the truck ran better and seemed to average the same mpg. I have used other straight fuel than was erratic in mpg.

to the OP:
I got 21 avg on the highway cross country with about 1500 lbs of tools and motorcycle in the back, on a shot transmission. 95, f250, 2wd, E4OD, single cab.
the sad thing is i get the same thing in my twin turbo Fummins, with 4wd and 37" meats. I love my fords, but heaven bless them they're better vehicles once they get the powerstrokes swapped out for cummins...
Just my .02

Please please read up on what you say before shooting your mouth off. Makes you sound way less stupid!Google "idi wiki" (3rd link down) and educate yourself a bit before posting again.
