'V' Groove Plugs by
Stewart Hargrave
In an effort to improve my recent poor idle (as posted elsewhere) I
bought a set of NGK spark plugs which have a V groove in the centre
electrode.
It's tempting to think that these are intended to give two sparks
instead of just one, but actually I think they just help to define the
'launch' point of the spark. In circumstances where spark formation is
relatively difficult I thought this may be...

LPG and Grant question by
Will
Well ive got a new job and may end up travelling a few miles and ive got 2/3

Uneven Idling by
Stewart Hargrave
My open loop system (Volvo 740) has started to idle unevenly for the
past 10 days or so. It has always been prone to a very slight
unevenness at tickover, which can sometimes be improved by adjusting
the 'mixture' knob on the vapouriser, but now it is far more
pronounced, and I can't dial it out.
It's enough to shake you about when sitting at traffic lights, it
shakes the exhaust pipe on its...

Can Anyone clear up a few questions for me? by
Mike Sherlock
I read somewhere that LPG cars run on petrol for a short while (till the
engine gets warm?). Probably Rubbish, but maybe not?
Would it be any use to me if i got my mid sized motor (1.8) converted to
gas?
I do mostly short journeys to work and suchlike but when I do travel long
distance (twice a month+), where talking over 200-300 miles a time. Or More.

Postal Lottery: Turn $6 into $60,000 in 90 days, GUARANTEED

back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now and
came across a message just like this that said you could make
thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of
$6.00!!!
So I thought yeah right, this must be a scam!!! But like most...

Probably a stupid idea? by
Adam Coombes
Given that LPG 'likes' higher compression 'cos of the higher octane
rating, and that direct injection is the way to go; would it be
practical to convert a diesel engine into an LPG one by adding an
ignition system rather than starting with a petrol base?
Reasoning (possibly flawed):
Current diesels are much higher compression than petrol, or even older
diesels.
The new diesel fuel systems are...

Stupid question by
Chris
Just sat here wondering about the 'state' of the LPG in my tank at the
moment.
I mean, this stuff wants to be gas, it's just pressure keeping it liquid
right? So, when the tank is half full what state is the fuel in, I assume
that it will mostly be liquid with gas taking up the void, but what keeps
the liquid part liquid and the gas part gas, they are at the same pressure
so they should both be...
