If you take good care of them, like classic car owners, they could last for decades. But you should be EXTREMELY dedicated to keeping the engine running. Replacing it would cost a lot but then again so would maintaining the old one. Still, all you have to do is make sure the engine is properly maintained.
Diesel is used as a fuel in all sorts of vehicles cars, trucks, trains, boats, anything with an internal combustion engine that is designed to burn diesel. Diesel engines are popular because they last a long time and have a lot of pulling power. They are ideal for anything carrying a heavy load.
they run on electric motors instead of combustion engines. and you will never get enough money out as you put in. batteries dont last long enough

In, 1680 Christian Huygens designed the first internal combustion engine. In 1859, Etienne Lenoir designed the first commercially successful engine.
20 to 30 years
Nissan engines are reported to last years. There are reports of engines with as many as 220,000 miles and still running great.
any internal combustion engine can use a turbo or SC, the question is how much $$ and how long will motor last with the added stress. Which will be determined also by how much boost you choose to push.
I have 120,000 on my van and it is still going great...I wish I knew how long these engines will last...
If you are talking about internal combustion engines I would imagine the Wankle or "rotary" engine, as it has the fewest number of moving parts and keeps a consistent direction of movement. However all engines rely on the maintenance they receive and the work load/conditions they endure. I have heard of some steam engines that operated for 70 some odd years continually in factories, and electric motors I could see running for as long as they were supplied power.
The first four-stroke gasoline internal combustion engine was invented by German engineer Nikolaus August Otto in 1876. Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach mounted an internal combustion engine onto a bicycle, creating the first motorcycle in 1885, and in 1887 they manufactured their first car. In the meantime, Karl Benz produced his first car with an internal combustion engine in 1886.
as long as the air intake is above water and the spark plug connection is not fouled or shorted.
Well im not sure on average but i have a 95 jimmy with 219,000 on it
