Hi Mechman600!
Thanks for your comment
People around me think I (a bit) foolish trying to decrease the fuel consumption of a 30 year old diesel Volvo. In most cases they think its 5,2L/100km figure is not true
In this cases I'm happy because it means that it is a good achievement... So thanks again
Today I talked to my friend who is a car mechanic. He's very skeptic about any modifications on my car for mpg improvement. BUT he said that in race cars there is a swich for swich of the alternator to gain additional power. So next week I will put a swich for this purpose in to my car.
Yes, I know I did not invent the 'Spanish wax'
, but when I read about hypermillers who improved their mpg by driving without alternator I thought, that thely unset the belt.
Another modifying I want to do to change my original fan for an electric one. I think it will give me additional mpgs, couse the original one works every time from the start of the engine. I don't know exactly the name of the part that is wrong, maybe its name is thermo clutch, but I will change for electric fan.
And of course I would like to instal a belly pan, but its the most difficult task for me.
Lower and lower mpg for everyone!!!
