<p>[quote user="beaulieu"]</p> <p>You will see similar issues with US diesels after slow full throttle running in longer tunnels, the diesel engine starts to use up the available oxygen. Now I am not saying that the tunnel shown is nearly as long as the Moffat tunnel, but even a one mile long tunnel will produce that effect, especially if it is on a grade.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here is something for comparison.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tunnels pose problems with providing enough oxygen for the engines. Engines are set to burn a certain amount of fuel per the oxygen they inhale. If you starve them for oxygen, they will be fuel-rich, and make smoke. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-ECBxoJqYE"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-ECBxoJqYE</span></span></a></span></p>
