bumpy rides, or the smell of diesel fumes, I opted to take photos from outside the APC while the rest of my family joined about 15 other visitors for a ride in this military transport vehicle.
I spent some winters on the ice roads and you can produce diesel that stays fluid, but the seals and switches are still a problem. DEF is basically water with urea. Its freeze point is lower than water because of the urea, somewhere around -15 C. The amount that we use as we’re h...
Gasoline and diesel fuel have essentially the same stoichiometric air-fuel-ratio by mass; 14.7:1 for gas, and 14.5:1 for diesel. A gasoline engine can and does typically run at or near stoichiometry; modern electronically-controlled engines can control the fuel mixture very acc...
As the state's influence grew and its attention pivoted from smog-forming gases such as nitrogen oxide (the kind produced by diesel engines) to greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, in the 1990s California began requiring automakers to sell what became known as "compliance cars." Even today, ...
Don’t put gasoline into Diesel engines for the reason that the engine would ignite the fuel much too soon, perhaps run away, etc. However, the turbine engine is actually very flexible regarding the fuel. A jet engine can be setup to run on many different types of fuel but only one typ...
You may know that diesel fuel is bad for gas engines and that plants use photosynthesis, but can you define diesel or explain photosynthesis, let alone prove photosynthesis happens? This might seem like an abstract philosophical question. At the end of the day, whatever “knowing” means, it...
And the whole Asia is driving old perkins diesels and 2 stroke motorbikes. 11/03/2016 - 22:07 | Anonymous In reply to by HF_Martini6 The environment is fine, don’t believe that crap VW didn’t do anything no one else didn’t, they just got caught. Rather have a Vdub than a...
The diesels suffice for fuel-efficient cruising, while the turbines kick in at high speeds of 35 miles per hour or greater. The engines will turn two fixed-pitch propellers, designed to minimize noise so ship’s crew can better listen for submarine threats. A crew of 145 personn...
It means that the engines do not add anything to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.” Once the eco-friendly fuels have proved successful with F1 cars, Brawn hopes the technology will trickle down to everyday motorists. Promoting synthetic fuels There’s plenty of support behind synthetic ...
but the L400 ushered in modern performance enhancements. Disc brakes and rear coil springs aided handling, while more powerful gas and diesel engines (nine versions) doubled the available horsepower. The most popular powerplants were the 2.8L turbo diesel (140 horsepower, 232 pound-feet of torqu...
