    Fuel cap venting

    THIMK! Liquids in the vacuum of space (that don't quickly freeze) quickly "boil off" to way less than even a fine mist, incl H2O - no gravity, no pressure - frozen liquids would still boil off, but at much slower rate - remember how a vacuum pump is used to also evaporate moisture (H2O) in...

    Fuel cap venting

    Fuel cap venting Barometric Pressure is Atmospheric pressure, measured in pounds per square inch actual, or psia, 0 - 15psia (rounded up from 14.696psia mean) - 14.696psia BP, or one atmosphere, = 1 BAR Vacuum is any reduction in atmospheric pressure, measured in inches on the mercury...

    Fuel cap venting - basic fuel cap venting theory also applies to the gasoline-fueled vehicles Barometric pressure is Atmospheric pressure, measured in pounds per square inch actual, or psia, 0 - 15psia (rounded up from 14.696psia mean) - 14.696psia BP, or one atmosphere, = 1 BAR Vacuum...

    White Cherokee CRD

    Anybody see the white Cherokee in the Mar09 Diesel Power-Ads mag? The owner, a 18-wheeler whacker, hadda chop-shop stuff a VM 2.8L CRD\545RFE from a KJ n tuit - sez @ 1klbs less, it gets 21-27mpg - didn''t see no L.O.S.T. stickers, thereabouts

    Snorkel caps facing forward...why?

    The significant thing that is being overlooked is that the volume of air that is not 'brought smoothly to rest', the air that is being ingested by a running infernal combustion engine, is flowing air - imagine this as having a big hole in the middle of your palm, hand out the window in the...

    Snorkel caps facing forward...why?

    Good comparison, altho that more describes an exhaust stack, where exhaust pressure blows the flapper open - however, HMMWV's are designed for slow off-roading and fording (driver-dependent, of course) - at higher surface speeds such as civilian Jeeps will encounter, airflow across the straight...

    save money$$$ by brake rotors(discs)

    Open the box, remove the aftermarket disc\rotor, and even the most casual comparison to those oem union-made abortions will restore any lost confidence in braking power, pedal response\feel, and balance - they easily meet race-balancing, all surfaces are machined, parallel, and concentric to the...

    Snorkel caps facing forward...why?

    Ram-air is functional, and is effective - stick your hand out the window, palm horizontal, at 30mph^, note the pressure on your hand\arm - rotate your palm vertical, note the sudden pressure increase that forces your hand\arm rearward, requiring greater muscle effort to maintain position -...

    Diagnosis help

    The chirping is likely the one-way clutched alternator sheave, specific to the Diesel engine - a common failure, the isolating damper has deteriorated, allowing the clutch to chirp at low-rpm when Diesel torque-thrust on the crankshaft is very pronounced Worst-case, if the sound really is...

    Ha!!!

    Fuel mileage and economy in any tune, stock or performance, is directly proportional to muscle tension in the driver's right (left, in Euro applications) leg and foot - normal driving will give normal fuel economy - major really bad side-effect of a performance tune is happy feet, where the...

    05 CRD Turbo Leaking Oil Help.

    Could be leaking where the compressor housing joins the cartridge flange - could also be leaking around the output Boost hose - also, very likely the drain-tube flange gasket is leaking, having hardened over 70kmi of high EGT service - need to clean things up, get a fresh start to pinpoint the...

    Food for thought

    Again, there are only three ways (four, only for off-road vehicles) to increase power, each involving increasing effective displacement of your infernally-combusted air pump - generally speaking: - redesign for higher rpm to increase pumped volume\flowrate: theoretically, an engine pumping...

    Food for thought

    Exactly, and I recommend any heavier duty part(s) be installed with the V8 - I don't yet know specifically which parts fall in that category, because, as I indicated, this is food for thought, which is thinking out loud in the planning stages - any constructive input is therefore appreciated -...

    What is a CRD?

    You'll need to get that scanned for the DTC's, which usually point to the failing component - you can also R&R the four connectors for the individual wheel sensors, as oxidation\corrosion\dirty\faulty connectors give the same symptoms as faulty sensors - then follow the harness, checking the...
