Hi all,
I was perusing Craigslist (Vancouver), and I noticed there were 2 gasoline powered Delica L300s for sale. The selling point seemed to be that parts were more readily availiable. Is this true, and what kind of motor is the gas version?
Thank you!

Well, for starters, it uses gasoline instead of diesel.

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

most likely it would use the same engine that was available in the mitsubishi "vanwagon" as sold in the US, (and probably shares many common parts with other mitsubishi engines as well)

I personally would take a diesel over a gas engine any day, they last longer, have more torque, and use less fuel, and a fuel that is on average cheaper, there is also less that can go wrong in a diesel engine than in a gas engine.
