Advantages of Dual Fuel

By Scott Vanwinkle

A dual fuel automobile is a vehicle that will operate on two or more types of fuels. There are many alternative fuels available, not just petrol. The advantages to owning a dual fuel automobile are:

Fuel costs are reduced dramatically. For example, compressed natural gas (CNG) in Utah is .73 per gallon. The current petrol price is $4.08 per gallon. To fill a 12.8 gallon tank of CNG would cost $9.34 compared to $52.22 for petrol. If you fill your tank every week your savings would be $2229.96 per year. If you live in a 2 car home the savings would be $4459.92. That is a savings of $371.66 per month!

You may drive in the car pool lane alone by owning a dual fuel automobile. This could save you hours of commute time, thus allowing you more time to spend with your loved ones and not in bumper to bumper traffic.

Dual fuel automobiles when operated with CNG and not petrol are environmentally friendly. The use of natural gas as a fuel reduces vehicular exhaust. Carbon monoxide emissions are reduced by 70-90% and Hydrocarbon emissions by 40-60%. Carbon dioxide emissions, a cause for global warming, are also reduced significantly.

When operating a dual fuel automobile with CNG your costs to maintain the vehicle will go down and the life of your engine will go up. CNG does not contain lead which extends plug life. CNG will not contaminate or dilute crankcase oil.

Many vehicles may run on CNG, Propane, Ethanol, Hybrid Electric, Petrol and Hydrogen. Each type of vehicle will have advantages and disadvantages depending on where you live and the infrastructure of the fueling capabilities. However, most of Americas' fuel crises were produced because we allowed ourselves to have very few options. Owning a dual fuel auto you will never be left without options again. You will be left with your personal choice of what fuel you want to operate your automobile under.

Check with your local government on what type of dual fuel or bi fuel vehicles are allowed in your state. Many states will not allow after market conversions. - 21393

By Pete Roberts

HHO gas car kits are the latest innovation to increase gas mileage, increase power and improve your car or trucks emissions. Your car will not be totally dependent on water but will be a hybrid of sorts by utilizing water as a catalyst once it is broken down to HHO also known as browns gas or hydroxy.

HHO fuel cells create hydroxy that is used to supplement and help improve gas mileage by 20-50%. A few are even doubling gas mileage. To get you best gas mileage it may be necessary to add more than one cell.

You can find HHO gas car kits online for hundreds or even thousands of dollars. They are worth every penny! The key here is that if you have a vehicle such as a truck, SUV or car and you would like to make your own HHO or browns gas kit for your car or truck there is a lot of information online on how to get started but to get a complete set of instruction or plans you will need to spend hours searching.

How is HHO gas burned or converted in a gas or diesel engine. This technology can be used both for gasoline and diesel engines providing to help increase mileage. When you convert your car to burn on water you are converting water to a gas that your engine can use. HHO gas is then inserted before your intake manifolds airflow using your engines vacuum. This gas is then mixed with the gasoline providing better gas mileage.

The benefits of a HHO gas hybrid technology are increased gas mileage in some cases doubling it, increase horsepower, better or smoother running engine and less emissions. When you buy a kit you often pay hundreds sometimes thousands of dollars and eventually it will pay for its self. They can be used on cars, trucks gas or diesel engines and take up very little space under the hood and require no major modifications. If for any reason such as the sale of your car you would like to remove the system it can be removed in several minutes without leaving a trace. This kits can actually be made at home for under $100 dollars per vehicle now that is cheap.

Electrolysis is the process that converts water to gas. The current for the process is used from your vehicles battery. It is amazing how well it works and how much energy can be stored in water.

Many cars and truck have room near the firewall to put extra HHO cells. A V6 engine could benefits from additional cells. Very few modifications are required to hook up a cell. The overall benefits should be improved gas mileage.

There are many forums that focus on experimental HHO gas fuel cells or hydrogen cells also using a device called an aqua pulser that can even make the water fuel cell even more efficient. There are even plans and sources for creating a device that varies the frequency of the current introduced into the fuel cell to help the experimenter generate the most HHO gas. - 21393

Learn The Easy Way To Polish and Buff Car Bodywork

By Mario Goldstein

There are terms like convex, concave and waffle. These are terms used in the business of polishing and buffing in the auto repair shop. To most people, polishing and buffing the car is something that they do on the weekend, but in the professional world, this function takes on a much different meaning because there are so many factors to consider in creating ?the perfect finish?, and they require a great deal of training, more than you?d think.

The polishing shop technician has a very important job. For instance, in order to get a good finish that really shines, it is necessary to deceive the eye. This is why a good technician will never use a concentric polisher, because they move in perfect circles. An eccentric polisher is one that moves off center. It has two functions, one is to distribute the compound evenly, by pushing it into the center ? this allows the compound even distribution, and it also prevents splattering of the compound and two, it confuses the eye so that the eye doesn?t see any light reflected in the lines left by a conventional concentric polisher.

As far as the tools used to get that perfect finish, there is some disagreement among technicians as to what to use, the standard wool or the newer foam buffing pads. Most quality paint manufacturers have good tips on the right way to buff and polish, and you can find them on the net.

The technicians who prefer wool say that it gives the best finish, whereas the technicians who prefer the foam pads claim that they like them because they don?t leave bits behind after they go. Although foam pads are new, they are evolving like anything that is new. A recent test was done with technicians who preferred wool, and several of those technicians said they preferred the newer foam to their old wool pads. Sometimes, a technician can be attached to their way of doing things and they will say that they like their way but they have never tried anything new in years.

They will say things like the pads they tried won?t remove wet or dry sand scratches from the panel, and they had to go back to wool to finish the job, but, as I mentioned earlier, old ways die-hard. So they don?t like to try new products, like the newer pads that are specially designed to be more like the wool pads, but without the drawbacks.

The three main types of newer foam polish pads are convex, concave and waffle and these types of pads are designed to create a compound pocket that guides the compound toward the center of the pad and not to the outside so it won?t splatter. Each of the convex, concave, or waffle pads have their own highly specialized function, but the main goal in all of this is the brilliant finish achieved by the illusion that the eye sees - 21393
