Subject: A question about the multi-fuel debate,
Date: Mon, 24 May 1993 23:22:50 +0200
over been decieded? If not here are a few notes on the subject.
First; how the fuel is delevered to teh combustion chambers. Most likly this w
ould be in teh form of fuel injection, conventainal carberators would be around
but not in as a large a number.
Second; The use of sensors in the fule line/carberator/tankage. this would tel
l the combustion system what is coming it's way and how to best be ready for it
. Adjusting everything from timing and ignition strenth( how much current to fi
re though the sparkplugs) to the proper fule air mix for best perfomance.
As with any peice of tech this would be at the hands of gremlins and bad man
tince. Not to mention(gasp) possable readjustment be unatheized personel. I.E.
sabatoge.
Third; Is there a seperate tankage for differnt fuel types?
Avgas seperate from diesl from regulare high test.
In my mind most likly, just to keep containates and cross reactions from happen
ing in the fuel system. But,hey this is a game right? the details are fun to wo
rk out.
Well enought of the ramblings of a old man, here it is some thoughts. do what
you will with them.
