Hello,
As this is a simple compression diesel, the only power required is to open the fuel cut off solenoid on the fuel pump,and you can honestly do that with a simple 9 volt battery.
If you were to push start the vehicle,and have a simple 9 volt battery connected to the fuel cut solenoid, it would remain running until the battery died.
As most cars will have some sort of remaining power in the batteries even if they cant start them, there is always more than enough to hold open the fuel cut solenoid ,as long as you can get them push started.This particular Surf came with 2 12V batteries from Factory so its doubtful I will have issues, but you never know.
This was my reason for installing this motor package,zero sex appeal, but full simplicity.
