still working on baseline
it sure would be nice to have a fancy flow meter or a 2 gallon header tank marked off in small increments, however , no flow meter and i am disinclined to have a glass ware header in the cockpit.
it would be nice to have a good way to fill the tank to the same level every time.
lacking all above i just have to go by averages.
back when i had this thing in commuter service i would put on 66 miles a day, now [even though it is *primary* motor transport] im lucky to get 66 miles a month.
i think next time i fuel i will call Baseline .. a year..
of interest : in july 2011 i tested the cyl compression . then added some *restore* just tested again showing a marked improvement after 1100 miles
one wonders if the increase in cyl compression can be attributed to the restore , or the MMO in the top oiler, .. both lay claims to increasing engine compression
cyl ...2011.....2012
#1.....140.......150
#2.....120.......140
#3.....120.......150
#4 ....110.......140
it is generally accepted that readings are*good* if all are within 10%
2011 fails that . 2012 does not.
i would really like to get 4 or 5 more tanks of fuel run through to establish baseline , however i fear i am much to impatient for that.
i think after the next fueling i will change the additive in the top oiler
i have a gallon of methanol with 8 oz of castor oil mixed in, and a quart of 100% nitro methane .
my intention is to add 4 parts methanol/castor mix to one part nitro methane... if i have calculated correctly that will be 20%nitro/70% methanol/10% castor oil.
a product readily available known as 20% nitro Glow fuel
add that to the jar that feeds into the intake manifold and see if my metrics change
