I remember one time when a driver borrowed my bus and forgot to plug in the block heater. It dropped down to -30 overnight, it took about 5 minutes to get the Detroit engine started fortunately it had an ether injection system
The second bus is actually Blue Bird TC2000 produced from 1988-2004. They were built as a cheap/economic alternative to the larger Blue Bird All-american. The Vision isn't a flat-nosed bus, it was called the Vision because their engine hood are sloped for driver to see better when driving and when kids walk in front of the bus, plus the have bright headlights.
Yeah, I thought it looked a bit old for a Vision...among other things... Style's all wrong, colors completely off...and who the [bleep] stuck that ugly af exhaust pipe up the side? That bus is obviously VERY old and has been jury-rigged to heck and back...I don't quite think Vision's have reached such a point as of yet...😵😣😅
When I was in high school (early 80s) school try using propane fuel ,it was a total failure hard to start in cold weather. Also is true that all school must be diesel because it is less as volatile than gasoline
1st bus - Leyland National way ahead of its time I remember them when I was in school in the 70's. 2nd bus seems way behind the times - if the date of 2003 is correct?
The 2nd Bus looks more like a Blue Bird All American and not a Blue Bird Vision. The Vision is a conventional bus with the front wheel and engine placed in front of the driver.
Yeah , unfortunately there is no way to preheat the cylinder s on a deasle engine . You can warm the block . But those damned things are a pain in the ass , untill they warm up . And when the weather is cold . Sometimes it needs a little money piss to get it to protest and buck and make some noise .
Amazing the starters have stood up to be cranked so long !

School bus smoke coming out of the pipe turn on the heat awesome video keep up the good work friend bless you
These engines just need a bit of heat to get them going a bit quicker
Caracas Venezuela operated 450 LHD versions of the first bus the Leyland National. A few have survived in preservation.

@Daniel C. What's a 'vision'?
The 2nd is American, of course it's behind in time
Roses are red violets are blue I saw the thumbnail and so did you
Should be mandatory propane pre heaters installed ahead of the catalytic converter‘s on all diesels
That's still in the exhaust stream though? I assume you mean to make the engine easier to start?
@@jetstream454 I have no idea what I was talking about.. i would have to watch it again.
A propane block heater and hot air stream into the inlet would definitely make starting a lot easier!
U cant pick people up, if u burn the starter up [The first one]
Strongest part on a National… the starter motor
Good old times
1:43 Thats like my old -82 diesel Toyota xD xD xD!
Are you safisfied with it?
@@CarsandEngines Oh yeah! Best car ever :)!

But the 4th bus take off while its smoking😝😝😝😝😝😝
In Singapore we do not need to cold start as one time I just suddenly heard the starter and boom the bus cranked
Not sure🤔 I’d rather start with a fat😊
forgot mention that ikarus 260 has a rabá axle and and a rabá motor
And the 3rd bus smoking alot

That's exactly what it was.
Its a tc2000 not a all american
The 2nd bus sound like a truck Ashley
The bus wont start while the ice is frozing the engine

Is so called glow plugs on some motors, not all.
You never heard of glow plugs or intake/grid heaters?
Heating the incoming air will assist in cold starts.
Busses
Drop down box is annoying .. get rid of it
