  • Depends on what you need.

    I use my truck about the same as you. But get 13mpg towing, and 18 not.

    1995 Ford 250 PSD.

    It’s not comfortable, it’s not fast, it’s not fancy. But it’ll pull whatever I put behind it. Carry almost anything I will ever need to (definitely more than I want to physically unload), and it’s economical, and “future proof” in that I can modify in almost any way and still register without new diesel problems (high pressure pumps eating the entire system, def fluid and filter plugging, egr cooler plugging etc.)

    Personally I’d say get an older diesel that is in ok shape that you can make what you need.

    Oxygen loves hydrogen. Hydrocarbons have lots of hydrogen. Oil is hydrocarbon.

    Add enough energy to start the chemical reaction, and BOOM. Along with all the things that go with exothermic and expansion reactions (ie, your foot gets blown off, and anything that can burn in the area likely will be)

    Also, get things hot enough with oxygen around, and things you think can’t burn, will. Including steel.

    Look up oxygen compressor fires. It’s scarily interesting.
