A buddy of mine works for a local school district bus garage. The long time director got the help from the government to switch the entire fleet over to new propane buses all at the same time. Then realized they now had to pay for a fueling station. It was causing a lot of headaches, and the drivers that knew how to put diesel in them were either too afraid or not confident enough to fill them with propane. So after seeing the fun they were having, the director retired. My buddy said he thinks that the guy was just trying to say f you to the school district. Now that the buses run propane, they now have to fill them after the morning run for the evening run, unlike the diesels that would go all day. He said they get absolutely atrocious mileage. They were selling off the old buses when it became apparent that the LP buses didn't have enough distance to make it to many of the other districts for basketball, football games etc. Not only would they not make it, if the did, there was no where to refuel them at nearly all of the places they went. So, when they had 2 diesel buses left, they decided to keep them, and they are used solely for taking the kids to the functions at other districts. He said they are an all around nightmare, and are just more of a headache than the old diesel buses.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
