The car will be available in both Petrol & Diesel variants. We will disclose product details at a later date but our models will definitely offer additional value compared to competition.With regards to Parts and Service availability our objective is to not only provide parts at a reasonable price but also service the customer requirement at his doorstep. In order to support such a system we have a wide & strong network of Mahindra Scorpio dealers, Part Stockists, Part Retailers.

There are five petrol stations (or gas stations for Americans) on Islay I can think of: Port Ellen (on Charlotte Street next to the White Hart Hotel), Bowmore (Jamieson Street, off Main Street), Bridgend (right at the square), Port Charlotte (next to the Spar shop/ post office on Main Street) and Port Askaig (next to the waiting area for the Kennacraig ferry).

LPG compared to petrol and diesel is approximately 70% cleaner over CO2, HC. Particulates are not prevalent in LPG. See similar questions...

We have seen a few occurrences where Biodiesel has actually been cheaper and the prices are continuing to get closer and closer together. That being said unless specific governmental regulation prohibiting petrol-diesel sales, or requiring Biodiesel sales is enacted Biodiesel will always stay slightly more expensive that petrol-diesel. Biodiesel is a direct substitute that is a higher quality product. It is a higher quality product because it produces significantly less environmental impacts. See similar questions...

Gasoline and diesel engines operate according to different engineering principles and burn completely different fuels. Gasoline engines require a volatile, high octane fuel whereas diesel engines run on a low octane and relatively low volatility fuel. Gasoline engines usually operate at higher temperatures and because of their composition and the high temperatures produce entirely different combustion products than does diesel fuel operation. See similar questions...

No. This is only for diesel engines. Diesels work by compressing air much more than is the case with a gasoline (petrol) engine. This creates high temperatures, and causes a fine mist of injected oil to self-ignite from the heat of compression and combust. The fine mist ("atomized") oils injected into the cylinder just before the piston reaches the top of the compression stroke. There is no spark plug or ignition system in a diesel engine. It is designed to burn a light viscosity oil. See similar questions...

Because maximum power production from diesel engines is fuel and not air limited it is still the only engine that is "lean burn" across the full power/speed range. This brings real fuel and carbon dioxide emission savings - good for the global environment. But it challenges the catalyst chemist to control nitrogen oxide and particulate emissions at low exhaust temperatures with excess oxygen. See similar questions...

Both. You pays your money and you takes your choice. Given two engines of similar size and assuming good condition, the diesel will be nominally cheaper to run, but will not like running on no load or light load. The petrol engines will run better at low speeds and on light load, but they loose more fuel through evaporation than diesels. I have all diesels, excepting the smaller engines such as a pair of Lister D's, a Wolseley and two Bamfords, all petrol. See similar questions...

Consumers often ask why the price of diesel is sometimes higher than petrol, in the belief that diesel is a low-cost product to produce. Although diesel requires less crude oil per litre, it is not a 'waste' product and new Commonwealth Fuel Quality Standards for lower sulphur diesel require a more complex refining process.

For diesel cars the percentage based on the CO2 figure will be increased by 3%. So if the percentage based on CO2 is 18%, the percentage used to calculate the car benefit charge will be 21%. But the supplement can 't take the percentage above 35% See similar questions...

Our vehicles are supplied with a full tank of fuel unless delivered to you, you are charged for refill on termination of their contract. A R20 service fee is levied should we have to refuel the vehicle. Most of our fleet uses unleaded fuel. Please note that fuel cannot be purchased with a credit card in South Africa- cash or garage cards are the only form or payment. See similar questions...

Yes! Dual-fuel vehicles have the capability of running on petrol or gas at the flick of a switch, giving greater choice in the fuel to be used. See similar questions...

Any diesel engine can operate on Biodiesel with no modification to the engine. Older vehicles often must have their fuel lines changed from natural rubber to synthetic rubber hoses. Using B20 (a blend of 20% biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel) requires no precautions before use. If you want to use a blend higher than B20, such as B99.9, you will need to be aware of a few precautions before proceding. B100 is compatible will ALL diesel engines as long a few precautions are taken. See similar questions...

there are no changes in the engine compression ratio, cylinder heads, or basic operation as diesel cycle engine and the sophisticated computer controlled dual fuel system is as a bolt on technology, the engine can be converted back to dedicated diesel engine if necessary. See similar questions...

Since BioDiesel closely approximates regular Diesel fuel in burning characteristics such as Cetane rating & Viscosity it does not require any vehicle conversion. It is has a much higher lubricating property's and is very slightly more viscous which may help by sealing the injector piston seals better. See similar questions...

Glow engines are a hybrid between diesel and gasoline engines in regards to their mode of operation. In a glow engine, the catalytic action of the platinum glow plug coil is what ignites the fuel-air charge rather than a spark or the heat due to compression of the mixture in the chamber. As a consequence, the compression ratio used tends to be higher than in a gasoline engine but lower than a diesel engine. See similar questions...

We can supply numerous engine upgrade kits and parts, ranging from relatively inexpensive ingintion advancers, to full-blown head replacements and cranks. Please feel free to e-mail us and we'd be happy to discuss your needs and sort out a package to match. Where can I get more information?A. If after looking at the information on this site, you'd like more, please let us know through e-mail or over the phone and we'd be glad to answer any queries. See similar questions...

Yes, as long as both fuels are above their cloud point temperature they will blend together inside your vehicles fuel tank. See similar questions...

We cannot guarantee diesels but we do have them on fleet, you may "request" diesel and we will do our best. Again at the larger depot such as major airport you are given a choice of cars, which will often include diesel models. See similar questions...

By law and specified by the Department of Motor Vehicles, we absolutely cannot, under any circumstance, set the miles back on any odometer. See similar questions...
