🚨 Jet-Powered Mini Truck? WhistlinDiesel Did That! 🚨

Imagine cruising down the highway and spotting a tiny Honda Acty... but wait, it's not just any mini truck—it’s powered by a fighter jet engine! 😱 You'd probably think you're hallucinating. But nope, it's real, and it’s WhistlinDiesel at it again with another wild stunt!

In his latest video, Cody has taken his all-wheel-drive Honda Acty and strapped a jet engine in the bed, turning the underpowered mini truck into a fire-breathing speed demon. Normally struggling to hit 30 km/h, the Acty is now hitting 120 km/h, sending smoke, fire, and terror through the streets. 🔥

Cody and the crew even fuel the jet engine with diesel and see just how far they can push this ridiculous build, all while rattling, overheating, and creating pure chaos. As he says, "That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever done." 😅

Check out the full insane video of the world’s only jet-powered mini truck and let us know—would you take a ride in it?

What makes a diesel engine different from gasoline engine (besides the fuel of course)?

"A diesel engine induces only air into the combustion chamber on its intake stroke. Diesel engines are typically constructed with compression ratios in the range 14:1 to 22:1.

"The diesel engine gains its energy by burning fuel injected or sprayed into the compressed, hot air charge within the cylinder. The air must be heated to a temperature greater than the temperature at which the injected fuel can ignite. Fuel sprayed into air that has a temperature higher than the “auto-ignition” temperature of the fuel spontaneously reacts with the oxygen in the air and burns. Air temperatures are typically in excess of 526 °C (979 °F); however, at engine start-up, supplemental heating of the cylinders is sometimes employed, since the temperature of the air within the cylinders is determined by both the engine’s compression ratio and its current operating temperature. Diesel engines are sometimes called compression-ignition engines because initiation of combustion relies on air heated by compression rather than on an electric spark."
