Unfortunately there has grown up a largish trade in Indian-built
copies of Lister and Petter engines, all or most of which have
questionable quality and lineage. This hasn't stopped a large number
being sold here as 'biodiesel-ready' when in fact they are anything
but.

The use of 'Lister' in the adverts on the website quite freely in
respect of the engines is also something that should be stopped, as
they bear no relation at all to the original engines other than their
size and general shape.

While I appreciate Arnie's thoughts behind suggesting a link to our
website, I would prefer not to in this case as I wouldn't want to lend
my name to this operation, which is questionable in every sense of the
word.
