Another nice feature of these old diesel engines: They're not vulnerable to EMP. So after a nuclear holocaust they'll still run. Assuming you're still alive and can deal with fallout of course. And assuming you can find fuel. Which won't be a problem because these engines will run on the rancid oil in the vat behind what used to be the local McDonalds.
