WE CATCH THE MOMENT OF IGNITION

CATCH THE TIMINGMotorists know how important it is for diesel internal combustion engines proper installation of the moment of ignition — the ignition spark of the spark fuel in the cylinder before the end of the compression stroke. In theory it should occur exactly at the end of this cycle. In practice, use a small spark advance below the maximum dissipation was carried out at the beginning of the next measure — extension. Otherwise you will not get far: the motor is getting “greedy”, but “pulls” very bad.

To fill the tank of a car in the field — for example, from a barrel or tank of the other vehicle drivers often use a simple hose and the so-called “sucking method”, creating a vacuum mouth, with a hit of petrol. You can avoid trouble if you make a simple mini-pump. For this elastic (flexible) hose with a diameter of 10 — 15mm in length 1 — 1,5 m at a distance of one third the length of the slot and insert the hole with a diameter of 10 mm nozzle length 50 — 70 mm from the same hose, and into it insert the tip of the medical pears (preferably the largest). In the end you will have a trouble free, simple in construction, durable pump (even if he is lying among the tools in the trunk — one piece of his there was nothing to fear).
