Diesel-Powered ATV'S
Gas costs a lot more in Europe than it does in the U.S., which explains why many of the ATV's sold there are equipped with diesel engines. E P Barrus Ltd., a British company, imports Polaris ATV's from the U.S. and outfits them with Yanmar diesel engines that get up to 100 mpg. The company says when the 4-gal. fuel tank and 1/2-gal. re-serve tank are full you can operate for up to 40 hours before you have to refuel. Also, the diesel engines have a lot of torque and pulling power.Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, E.P.

Another company that sells diesel ATV's is GHL Products. The "Diablo" can be ordered with a twin cylinder, water-cooled Lombardini or Mitsubishi diesel engine. The diesel engine, combined with a variable speed belt drive torque converter, provides great pulling power and acceleration, says the company.
