Atomic 4 engine pros and cons

[shipwreck66]

The delivery truck is on a route. He will deliver whatever he currently has in the tank. Same goes for farm diesel, it's supposed to be delivered with red dye, but if the tanker was out delivering to other fuel stops and he has enough left over for your delivery, he'll deliver regular diesel #2 and you'll still only get charged for farm diesel, providing you applied for the permit. Ethanol loads will deliver wherever they can till the tanker is dry, even to places that don't require ethanol. This is just the way it is, and yes, you do have to accept it.

Can't comment about mileage but fuel consumption is higher for an Atomic four. Being carburated does not help. You can find ample supplies of both fuels in the Bahamas and mexico. Gasoline vapors are heavier than air and in concentration can be explosive but the risk can be managed. A gasoline engine is more complex than a Diesel and the technology utilized in an Atomic Four is older (electronic ignition and carburation) so yes they will require more maintenance. There is good availability of replacement parts for the Atomic Fours. Positive points, perhaps more horsepower and they are cheaper to rebuild and..., not more than that. Would think that in a 3rd world country it could be kept running longer than a Diesel as parts from other makes and models can be adapted not requiring as many precision machined parts as a diesel.
