Petrol is stupid expensive, eh. Now, a fuel combustion expert, Jerry
Lang, has developed a breakthrough technology with a company that
currently reaches over 190 countries, which not only reduces
emmissions by up to 90%, but also increases your vehicle's fuel
economy, allowing you to get more kilometers out of your petrol!

All lies.
How is adding something to the fuel going to change the software/mechanics
that meters the fuel into the engine.
Unless the metering changes no additive can have any effect on the fuel
consumed.

But the lambda sensor in the exhaust _will_ change the fuel metering as

Not that that affects the fact that this is yet more cold pressed extra-

But will it change in the right way?
If it makes the burn more efficient then there will be less unburnt fuel so
the lambda sensor will increase the fuel and the engine will burn more fuel.

Maybe thats what the product does.. stops the fuel from burning in the
engine and causes the lambda sensor to reduce the fuel?

The lambda doesn't measure unburnt fuel - it measures unburnt oxygen.

Theoretically, a more complete burn could well consume all oxygen from less
fuel, leading to less fuel being injected for the same exhaust result.

The lambda doesn't measure unburnt fuel - it measures unburnt oxygen.


IIRC its a hot wire catalytic sensor.. i.e. it measures how much fuel burns
on contact with it.
It requires oxygen too.
However most engines have an excess of oxygen as they suck in the same
volume of air and have more or less fuel.


Theoretically, a more complete burn could well consume all oxygen from
less
fuel, leading to less fuel being injected for the same exhaust result.


If it consumes all the oxygen the sensor isn't going to be able to measure
how much fuel is unburnt.

I'm not sure where I saw the link for this, but I think that it was
describing the very same product. It is supposed to have been used by
the US army etc for many years.

Apparently, what it is supposed to do is make all the fuel burn inside
the engine before the exhaust port opens (a quicker bang).
He reckons that the little burst of flame from the exhaust valve reduces
the efficiency of the engine.

Personally, I thought it was a load of ********. If an engine
manufacturer had not done something about this many years ago, well,
need I go on?

Don't forget to pour some SLICK 50 in the oil and Nitrogen in the tyres too!

You would benefit more from correct tyre pressure, removing excess items
from the car that are not required on a daily basis and not accelerating

Some tyres are now even claiming to increase your MPG which is just silly.

Once upon a time, the little rotund French chappie used to provide
economical ( in both mpg and longetivity) secure shoes for you. Are they
still good in that respect?
Today, so many cars have these ridiculous shallow tyres that are
uncomfortable and I suspect due to their low profile wear out more
quickly to the benefit of the manufacturers - Discuss! You have but
thirty seconds to answer the question to secure your UK CSE and AS
passes and CPD points for continued membership of your professional

Low rolling resistance tyres certainly do work.

Claiming they don't would also imply that it's impossible to have tyre
designs which decrease your economy - and if you've ever tried half-decent
off-road tyres on-road...

Certainly do.

You want better fuel econonmy? add +50% to your tyre pressures.

Maybe it has an effect when the engine is in overrun but when it is actually
doing anything it needs the same volume of air per stroke to get the
compression needed to burn the fuel.

Maybe I should have stated the same volume of air per revolution?

If you think of a carburettor the volume of mixture admitted to the engine
is controlled by the throttle. Without one the engine would try to run at
maximum speed. Most injection systems are exactly the same - the throttle
controls the air admittance and the injectors supply the correct amount of
fuel for that.

No it doesn't.

State what you like, its still false.

In a petrol engine, the fuel air ratio is kept relatively constant, and
the total air volume is reduced to reduce power. The actual pre
combustion pressures at say tickover or cruise are really very low indeed.


In a Diesel, the air volume is kept the same, and te fuel amount reduced
to reduce power.

Which is why diesels are markedly more efficient at part throttle.

Sounds like a description of a flammable gas detector.
Put a voltage across a catalyst and the fuel will combine with the oxygen to
heat the catalyst.. this changes the resistance so you can measure it.
Nothing I can see in that article suggests this isn't the case.

"An automotive oxygen sensor, also known as an O2 sensor, lambda probe,
lambda sensor, lambda sond or EGO (exhaust gas oxygen) sensor, is a
small sensor inserted into the exhaust system of a petrol engine to
measure the concentration of oxygen remaining in the exhaust gas"

Does it matter how it works? The wikipedia article is only one of a
number to be found on the net one of which is specific as to how it
works. I can't actually find anything that supports your view of the
universe, not that that surprises me.
