Blimmin' heck. Is that just for diesels, or for petrols as well?

I mean, common engine sizes for Transit sized vans (seemingly about 50% of vehicles on road) are 2.0 and 2.5 litres - I work for a well known UK postal company, and we tend to use Transit SWB vans[1] with 2.0 litre naturally aspirated diesel engines or Combo vans with 1.7 litre naturally aspirated diesel engines.

[1] Mainly battered - maybe postmen want to test out the golf dimple theory?
