Tricks I used to get the CO way way down for the NCT

Ive a question. My S40 has the Mitsubishi GDi engine which apparantly has problems in europe because of the low octane fuel and then suffer from sludge build up. Should i run some sort of E85 mixture in it to keep it clean. It was obviously designed for a higher octane so would putting e85 into it damage it?

Sorry for barging in lads, could you tell me where the motors forum is?
I'm a bit lost and seem to have ended up in the back to the future/science forum.

Only kidding, is quite interesting although I've had to google a a good load of things
It's true what they say so, google is my friend.

really donkeys years ago nearly all mechanics knew these details and could work a lathe and make spare parts sometimes and even mold them from cast iron

Nowadays many of the younger irish meckanics are just fiiters who know often squat about anything if it hasn't a part number on the computer and cant tune an engine without a computer engine tuner on hand

You still sometimes find a few mechanics who know something but they are now more often than not Irish mechanics but from eastern europe or third world countries who still have to know how to make cars run anything from cocnut oil

as the fuel supply is interupted from a coup or something

If you dont know everything about fuel the oil companies have you by the b@lls and will sell you the fancy go fast fuel for a high price when in fact you can often make it yourself for a lot less

Look at Diphane thats Irish made.You probably find in the past every mechanic knew how to make the stuff from local components but only one smart arse decided to bottle and sell it and now we all have to buy the stuff.

I figure in less than two years I will crack whats in that bottle and be able to make my own much cheaper simply going on the net and talking to other mechanics world wide and source the witches brew


In the last war WW2 most Irish mechanics could convert cars to run on TBO tractor burning oil basically kerosene /petrol and parrifin/petrol mix and natural gas. Also town gas .Also from wood like the coofee beans solution and from things like cow dung

In fact its possible to make a petrol car run on diesel if you really want to but it wont run so great and probaly wont pass the emmisions test


If there is war again were fecked if we are depending on modern Irish mechanics which is pity as one time Irish mechanics were world leaders

I dont use google anymore as they track everthing you do

I Use ixquick

http://ixquick.com/

which is data compliant and doesnt fill your computer with spy bots trackinng everthing you do

Here a more modern example of a wood burning Volvo car that usess trees to make it go

cant see it passsing a Irish NCT for emmission but sure is cheap fuel as Sweden where the car is wood is dirt cheap as they got thousand of square miles of Forests
