Keeping An “i” On Engine Fuel | Generator Diesel Consumption With Deutz Engine

Company acquires SRV’s internal rental division and confirms long term rental agreement with the contractor.

Diesel engine, any internal-combustion engine in which air is compressed to a sufficiently high temperature to ignite diesel fuel injected into the cylinder, where combustion and expansion actuate a piston. It converts the chemical energy stored in the fuel into mechanical energy, which can be used to power freight trucks, large tractors, locomotives, and marine vessels. A limited number of automobiles also are diesel-powered, as are some electric-power generator sets.

(2) Husqvarna FC450. The Husky has the second best clutch of the 2019 450s. You might think that it should tie with the KTM 450SXF clutch because they are identical. The FC450 does share the KTM’s basket, inner hub, pressure plate, fiber plates and steel drive plates, but not the hydraulic system. KTM uses a Brembo master cylinder and slave unit while Husqvarna uses Magura parts. The tactile difference between the KTM and Husky is that at the lever, the KTM clutch has a “pop” feel when it is pulled. The Magura lever is buttery smooth. It has a seamless pull. So, why is the KTM clutch better than the Husky clutch? Durability. We always remove the Magura piston and seal from the FC450’s slave unit and replace it with Brembo parts to avoid the possibility of a seal failure. For this reason, we rank the Husky clutch as second best behind the KTM’s, but way ahead of the Big Four’s.

Finn, a “roadie” who says his work as a production manager in the entertainment industry has made him quite familiar with electrical systems, believes his modifications couldn’t possibly have affected the airbag system, calling GM’s alleged suggestion that they did “lies” and “bullshit.”

Another nice thing about the service records is that I can see if the vehicle has been in an accident. In addition to the recent one that put a big dent in my fender, the Jeep was apparently involved in a crash in 2006, as well:

Seems there is some confusion interpreting Scarecrow’s post. He’s saying that when technology benefits extend to other people beyond the purchaser, the government may need to apply pressure, since the purchaser isn’t as willing to spend money for the benefit of other people. This is in contrast to seatbelts and airbags, which are for the benefit of the purchaser; in that case the government doesn’t need to prod the purchaser — it’s a personal expense for personal benefit that the individual can weight for himself or herself.

The driver and his wife don’t think they should have to pay for this, since it happened on a “standard, dusty, easy trail”—particularly on a section that the driver describes as “not even moderate.” His goal is to have GM cover the rental car, the tow, and the repair.

I love GM and I buy mostly GM products, but sometimes I question their speed and intelligence. Glad to see they are finally listening to owners in some ways, but it’s been since 2015 with almost no changes! They still haven’t moved the (expletive) 4×4 knob, or created an indicator on the dash or DIC that shows your drive mode in non-zr2 trucks! (Something my 1987 Jeep has) I really hope they make interior updates such as this for the 2020 trucks, it was clear someone who has never used a 4×4 truck designed the dial location from their desk and not in the real world. The amount of time’s I’ve had to feel for the switch into 4×4 in a quick moment and turned my headlights off, drives me insane. Nor does my wife (who rarely drives my truck) have the time to look below the steering wheel (eyes off the road!) and figure out which way to turn the knob) Ok rant off…

(6) Suzuki RM-Z450. There is something to love about the RM-Z450 powerband. It picks up cleanly off the bottom and has almost perfect midrange power placement. The problem? It doesn’t make comparable horsepower to the other five bikes in this shootout. And when it comes to top-end power, it’s batting zero. Its 54.39 horsepower at peak is almost 6 horses less than the class leader, and it goes flat at 8800 rpm. Even where we liked its power (low-end and midrange), it makes the least power.

A few days later my customer stopped in and said the pedal was working but did not feel like it did before. Before he was done talking, I already knew how to solve his problem. I have a tremendously capable staff, yet I knew this was a job for me. These days I mostly only work on cars with the aid of a computer, but every once in a while we encounter a situation that needs my “ancient” experience.

We spent two days in the Algarve region of Portugal, romping around the Wim Motors Academy off-road compound, taking to trails in the lush farmlands, and hitting the canyons to put the Hinckley factory’s lofty claims to the test.
