Even though the water found in diesel is useful for condensation and stabilizing fuel temperature, the dissolved salt can cause crystallization, which eventually leads to rust and corrosions. Nevertheless, corrosion inhibitors serve a purpose to intercept the crystallized salt and prevent rust or corrosion. Typically, corrosion inhibitors contain metal or alloy chemical compounds.

Bore spray coating on the cylinders: as with the 100 PS engine, this is a world-first technology in a 1.0-litre petrol engine. Developed from the Nissan GT-R supercar, bore spray coating has already been integrated into other Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi powertrains, including the 1.3-litre petrol engine recently launched in the Nissan Qashqai crossover. Reducing the friction in the cylinder, the coating improves heat management and combustion, cuts weight and improves fuel economy and CO2 emissions.

FWIW Honda was claiming they had solved the lack of intake valve wash-off with clever valve timing that allowed for them to stay open long enough to be exposed to the swirling fuel/air mix in the combustion chamber and/or avoiding the worst of the combustion related carbon build up (the non-PCV oil vapor sourced stuff). Apparently this Fit is proving otherwise.

VIENNA, May 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ – In a paper presented at the 2019 Vienna Motor Symposium (May 16-17), Delphi Technologies will reveal a new 500+ bar GDi system that can reduce particulate emissions by up to 50 percent compared to state-of-the-art 350 bar system without expensive engine design modifications. Reducing the number of exhaust gas particulates, including those smaller than 23 nm, will help manufacturers meet increasingly stringent future global emissions standards.

That includes the trade war between Washington and Beijing as well as threats from Trump to impose tariffs of up to 25% on imported cars made by foreign automakers. On Friday, Trump declared that some imported vehicles and parts pose a national security threat, although he delayed a decision for as long as six months on whether to impose tariffs.

Spanners also turn out to be startlingly bouncy when you throw them at a solid wall. And they bear a grudge…

Fuel tank capacity is unchanged at 75 litres, and that fuel capacity is the same between petrol and diesel. There is no long range fuel tank option.

The definition of a flex-fuel vehicle is one that can use gasoline with an ethanol content of zero (E0) to 85% ethanol (E85) or anything in between. A modern nonflex-fuel labeled application is currently certified to use E0 to E10. Yet, in reality, E15 or E20 would be fine.

By designing an innovative new internal sealing system for our GFP3 500+ bar pump, in some applications, we have designed a downsized plunger diameter which prevents increasing the loads in the drive mechanism.

There haven’t been any adjustments to the steering, and it reacts predictably. There’s good weighting to it, both at city speeds (light, which helps negate the plenty of turns required to go lock-to-lock – but it has a smaller-than-average turning circle of 11.8m) and at pace, where you don’t need to twist your arms as much but still get the exact responses you expect. Push too hard and you’ll get the tyres to squeal, but it doesn’t do too badly in the bendy stuff… for a ute.
