This is for diesels mostly ...and mogas WITHOUT alcohol in it. A few ounces/10 gallons is all you use. In gasoline engines, unburned Hydrocarbons amount to about 1% of the total fuel, and most of those come from crevices such as the gap around the piston above the top ring, and around the spark plug - the compression and pressure rise pushes the mixture into these spots where the flame front is quenched. The next largest source is a thin layer that is quenched at the cylinder walls from the heat loss to the metal. I don't have the numbers handy for diesels, but I'm reasonably confidant that the percentage isn't a lot different even if the sources are different (over rich areas in the fuel spray generate soot due to inadequate air and some of the mixture around the fringe of the spray is too lean to burn). The fact of the matter is that the moon landings are fake, the alien autopsies are real, and the thousands of engineers that work for all the auto companies all around the world (that look at fuel sprays and combustions with lasers, high speed cameras, optically transparent engines of all types, computer modeling, etc.) are completely unaware of potential fuel consumption improvements like this one. -- Geoff The Sea Hawk at Wow Way d0t Com remove spaces and make the obvious substitutions to reply by mail When immigration is outlawed, only outlaws will immigrate. It does work or at least helps. I tried to use it after adding magnets, the little carburetor mini turbos, water injection etc. but when I found that every time I drove the car, the gas tank was overflowing I had to quit. Harry K |

We want to hear Michelle's Montanna Maule Mountain Flying Reports! John, I am on my way west right now. I officially started west Thursday. I am making several stops in Ohio. Including the factory that built my travel trailer. Next stop after that will be Jay and Mary's. Looks like that will be Wednesday night or more. Next planned stop Mount Rushmore. Maybe Devil's tower and then into Montana. Then onto Missoula. My airplane is at my old boss getting an annual. It will probably be done in mid to late may.... Michelle |

Including the factory that built my travel trailer. If you are near Columbus, OH, email me privately. The BARNSTORMER is closed, perhaps we can sit down for coffee or something. eroodATrrohio.com make the necessary substitution |
