SHOULD YOU GO WITH GAS?
(gas engine start up)
OR DRIVE IN A DIESEL?
(diesel turbocharger whine drive-by nats)
(MORGAN OC)
Name font: Morgan Evans, NHRA-Licensed Driver
I’M MORGAN EVANS— TWO-TIME ‘ROADKILL NIGHTS’ CHAMPION, METAL FABRICATOR, AND HOT SHOT’S SECRET PARTNER.
WE’RE GOING TO BREAK DOWN THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GAS AND DIESEL ENGINES, WHEN BOTH MAKE SENSE, AND WHAT IT’S LIKE TO LIVE WITH EACH.
LET’S GO.
(MORGAN VO)
(TITLE CARD: ENGINEERING DIFFERENCES)
FIRST UP, THE BASIC ENGINEERING DIFFERENCES.
(AI ANIMATION)
GAS ENGINES USE SPARK PLUGS TO IGNITE THE FUEL-OXYGEN MIXTURE IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER.
IN DIESEL, NO SPARK PLUGS REQUIRED. THE HIGHER COMPRESSION RATIOS CREATE HEAT AND EXTREME PRESSURE TO IGNITE THE FUEL.
GAS ENGINES OPREATE ON MORE PRECISE TIMING AND HIGHER RPMs.
DIESEL ENGINES ARE HEAVIER AND IGNITION HAPPENS SPONTANEOUSLY.
(MORGAN OC – STANDING NEXT TO BOTH ENGINES TOGETHER IN GARAGE, PEOPLE WORKING IN BACKGROUND)
SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR EVERYDAY DRIVING?
(MORGAN VO)
(NEW BROLL MORGAN DRIVING GAS VEHICLE, PERSONAL OR ONE OF OUR RENTALS)
GAS CARS AND TRUCKS ARE MORE COMMON BECAUSE THEY ARE CHEAPER TO PURCHASE AND EASIER TO MAINTAIN.
THEY ALSO TEND TO HAVE BETTER ACCELERATION AND DON’T HAVE TO DEAL WITH FUEL ISSUES IN COLD WEATHER.
(FILE BROLL - DIESEL ROLLERS WE HAVE, VARIETY OF FORD, RAM, CHEVY, GMC)
DIESEL-PROPELLED VEHICLES ARE ALL ABOUT EFFICIENCY, TORQUE, AND LONGEVITY.
IF YOU PLAN ON KEEPING YOUR TRUCK FOR A LONG TIME— LIKE OVER 200,000 MILES-- THE SAVINGS ON FUEL AND LONGER ENGINE LIFE REALLY START TO POINT YOU TOWARDS DIESEL.
(FILE BROLL – MOREGAN IN WHITE TRUCK FROM TOWING VIDEO)
DIESEL ALSO MAKES MORE SENSE IF YOU HAVE TO DO A LOT OF TOWING, OR JUST GENERALLY DRIVE LONGER DISTANCES. LARGER FUEL TANKS = FEWER FILL-UPS.
(MORGAN OC – NEXT TO DIESEL ENGINE OUT OF TRUCK)
BUT THE TRADE-OFFS TO BETTER FUEL ECONOMY, INCREASED POWER, AND RELIABILITY IS A HIGHER UP-FRONT PRICE—AND MORE GENERAL MAINTENANCE.
(MORGAN VO)
(FILE BROLL OF DIESEL FILLING UP)
DIESEL ENGINES HAVE TO DEAL WITH MORE DEPOSITS AND ARE SENSITIVE TO ULTRA LOW-SULFUR DIESEL ISSUES INCLUDING CETANE LEVELS AND LUBRICITY.
(DURAMAX 3D ANIMATION OF SCR SYSTEM)
NEWER MODELS ALSO HAVE SCR SYSTEMS, THAT REQUIRE DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID TO HELP REDUCE EMISSIONS.
(bottle beauty of EDT, DE, LX4, DEFender, HSS DEF)
USING ADDITIVES THAT KEEP BOTH FUEL AND DEF SYSTEMS IN TOP CONDITION ARE KIND OF ‘TABLE STAKES’ FOR A DIESEL OWNER.
(FILE BROLL Pouring Diesel Extreme and EDT)
ON THE FUEL SIDE— GETTING ADDED LUBRICITY AND A CETANE BOOST BOTH PROTECTS FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND IMPROVES THE FUEL BURN --- HELPING EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR ENGINE AND GETTING MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE.
(FILE BROLL – POURING EDT+ WINTER DEFENSE + Fuel Filter gelling studio)
YOU ALSO NEED TO USE AN ANTI-GEL IN THE WINTER TO AVOID DIESEL GELLING UP IN THE TANK, LINES, OR FILTER.
(MORGAN ON CAM, WALKING PAST GAS ENGINE OUT OF TRUCK)
TRACKED TEXT IN FRONT OF GAS ENGINE “GASOLINE ENGINE”
GAS ENGINES ARE SIMPLER, EASIER TO MAINTAIN AND USUALLY BETTER IF YOU’RE ONLY GOING TO BE KEEPING THE VEHICLE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
(MORGAN ON CAM WALKING TO DIESEL ENGINE OUT OF TRUCK)
TRACKED TEXT IN FRONT OF GAS ENGINE “DIESEL ENGINE”
SPENDING THE EXTRA MONEY FOR A DIESEL ENGINE MAKES A TON OF SENSE IF YOU’RE PLANNING ON HAVING THAT TRUCK FOR A LONG TIME, DRIVE LONGER DISTANCES, AND DO ANY TOWING.
CHOOSE WHAT’S BEST FOR YOU—
(POINTS TO SQUAREBODY)
BUT I’M PUTTING THIS ONE—IN THAT!
THANKS FOR WATCHING.
(WALKS PAST)
DE/STICTION ELIMINATOR :20
(MORGAN HOSTED)
YOU OWN A DIESEL FOR A REASON.
THE POWER, THE FUEL ECONOMY, THE SOUND.
KEEP IT RUNNING LIKE A DIESEL WITH HOT SHOT’S SECRET.
AT YOUR NEXT INTERVAL-- DEEP CLEAN OIL & FUEL COMPONETNS WITH STICTION ELIMINATOR AND DIESEL EXTREME.
RESTORE PERFORMANCE AND PROTECT YOUR ENGINE FOR THE LONG HAUL..
IF YOU’RE RUNNING DIESEL. YOU NEED TO BE RUNNING HOT SHOT’S SECRET.
-----
DE/STICTION ELIMINATOR :10
(MORGAN HOSTED, PHONE SHOT)
IF YOU’RE UPGRADING PARTS, IT’S A GREAT TIME TO RESET.
GRAB SOME STICTION ELIMINATOR FOR OIL-FED COMPONENTS.
AND TO DEEP CLEAN FUEL SYSTEM, TOSS IN SOME DIESEL EXTREME.
CLEAN AND PROTECT YOUR RIDE—WITH THE HELP OF HOT SHOT’S SECRET.
--
DIESEL EXTREME :12 MAX
(RYCE HOSTED)
IF YOU’RE UPGRADING PARTS—IT’S A GREAT TIME TO RESET THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.
ON THE FUEL SIDE, THAT MEANS USING DIESEL EXTREME TO DEEP CLEAN ANY UNTOUCHED PARTS INCLUDING THE TANK AND FUEL LINES.
CLEAN DEPOSITS, BOOST CETANE, AND ADD LUBRICITY TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR DIESEL.
