chris12381 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I've had the experience of riding all sorts of public transport in Cuba, including the dreaded camellos. Those buses won't mess up a thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it won't mess up the good and old cuban landscape. The last time I was there, Japan had just donated either 40 or 80 new garbage trucks. All bright, shiny and new, they stuck out like a sore thumb! The newer, chinese made buses that they have for the tourists aren't too bad, but the public transport in Havana is astoundingly old, worn out and dirty from a pollution stand point. Hopefully these buses will replace: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas.Alpha Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I should know this, but I wonder how the new engines will deal with the leaded gasoline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel is really the main fuel down there. My guess is these buses are diesel powered. But, modern engines should run just fine on leaded fuel, EFI and digital engine controls do a much better job of adjusting for fuel quality/octane than carburetors did.

While in Havana, I was struck by the familiar scent of leaded gasoline that I remembered from my childhood. It might have been diesel. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyO Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 There is no leaded fuel in Cuba. Funny how all these countries are "donating" millions of dollars in product to poor lil Cuba. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
