Hits Surge as Users Share Their Knowledge Online with Diesel-Talk

An online technical discussion forum for people working with diesel engines is largely credited for a 500% increase in 'hits' over the past year from marine diesel engine users and others now accessing Diesel-Talk, within the Glasgow-based website www.DieselEngineTrader. com The website has been up and running for two years but the introduction of Diesel-Talk last year has prompted the surge in site traffic. The site aims to help those within the industry solve their technical problems, whether coolant in the oil, excessive small end wear, erratic idling, overheating or whatever else.

The site is sectioned by engine type and model, with links for spare parts split by geographical location. Moreover, freely accessible information, the chance to pick someone else's brains, and opportunities to share your own knowledge and gain that of others are all available online.

Company founder Norman Rogers said, 'Our customers have been telling us that they wanted a Technical Forum for some time and we have always aimed to respond to industry needs. We are really delighted to make Diesel-Talk freely available so that everyone can benefit from the wealth of experience that exists on running and servicing diesel engines.'
