For premium diesel, the main additive is a defoamant, so you can fill the tank faster without it frothing all over the place like a rabid animal. Beyond that, premium diesel also has cleaning and anti-corrosion additives. It’s worth noting that premium diesel is the only diesel fuel on offer at most metropolitan service stations, except for large interstate trucking routes or country areas.

With combined demands for improved urban air quality and lower greenhouse gas emissions, the fuel injection system is an important building block for meeting future legislative targets. Delphi Technologies’ 500+ bar system can help vehicle manufacturers meet both challenges.

delayed intake valve closing (like on the pseudo-Atkinson cycle timing used on hybrids) will allow that, but the fuel is mostly evaporated at that point anyway.

Alternate fire, custom ground camshafts – such as this 6480 unit from SoCal Diesel – are all the rage these days. By changing the firing order of the engine, the first rod throw area of the crankshaft is relieved of much of the stress that many believe causes the crank to break.

“I didn’t think we needed to do that but the Ambassador commended our effort more than I had expected,” the April 23 minutes quoted Sugawara, a former vice minister for trade, as saying.

Stand back or hold on tight, this is the most powerful offroad bike on the market. New for 2020, the KTM 500 XCF-W takes everything riders love about the KTM 500 EXC-F and strips it down to an offroad-only model that packs a thrilling, big-bore punch while still delivering outstanding rideability thanks to industry-leading traction control and selectable maps. A completely reworked chassis and even more compact high-tech engine make this large-displacement powerhouse feel surprisingly light and agile while the reworked WP suspension provides unmatched performance with increased bottoming resistance. As a result, this awesome 510 cc SOHC single cylinder bombshell has an incredible power-to-weight ratio and provides nothing less than the most dynamic offroad experience available.

Things like new padded sections on the centre console lid, door trims, at the edges of the transmission tunnel (to stop you bashing your knees) and a pair of new B-pillar-mounted grab handles for dual cab models make for a more likeable atmosphere.

In developing the plan, NIST will engage with other federal agencies, the private sector, academic institutions, nongovernmental organizations, and other stakeholders with an interest and expertise in AI and related standards.

High performance elastomer and ethylene copolymer modifiers for polyolefin masterbatchVERSIFY™ and FUSABOND™ polymeric additives enable high filler loading in CaCO3 masterbatch formulation, while improving functionality and productivity. This solution strengthens polypropylene woven bags and polyethylene film bags, which in return, means total system cost optimization opportunity and better quality.

Automotive systems require several different voltage rails to power analog and digital circuitry. A few standard rail values are 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3 V. For example, the MAX6746, MAX6747, MAX6748, MAX6749, MAX6750, MAX6751, MAX6752, and MAX6753 devices have ±2% factory-trimmed reset threshold voltages in approximately 100-mV increments from 1.575 to 5.0 V and/or adjustable reset threshold voltages using external resistors.

I had a plier, a roll of duct tape, two zip ties (found in the trunk), and a paperclip. Pulling the EGR tube off (to use as a makeshift heat shield), a cable guide tube (pulled off a wire harness), and the spring from the pen, I was able to rebuild the throttle cable, shield it from the manifold heat, and reattach the end to the throttle body, using the pen spring and the paperclip.

Customers choosing the new 1.0-litre 100 PS manual will experience an improved engine response through quicker acceleration. This can be noted from a standing start – where the pull-away is now smoother – as well as in-gear acceleration. Refinement through measurement of Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) has also been enhanced with improved powertrain and road noise isolation, resulting in a quieter cabin.
