    liquid water softner

    No, they are not the same. You can find liquid water softner at grocery stores and usually mad by Calgon. When you find it get several bottles. All stores do not carry it. Also try hardware stores. Good luck

    New diesel question

    New engines off of the assembly line (diesel) are brought up to temp. with hot water in a test cell and then put under load within 3-4 minutes with a dyno.
