Call out for test data and mod instructions for wiki

Hi All,
A few of us are getting very useful info into the wiki but we are lacking a lot of “how to” instructions and efficiency test results from many mods (I haven't done all the mods yet). I have had a search through many of the threads and put data into the wiki based on some of that info however a lot of good info is hard to find in the many threads and its very time consuming trying to find the info.

So to all the Ecomodders out there, if you have any test data (ABA test or tank fill up result that isolates a single modification) then please either PM me or post on this thread and ill be happy to put any relevant data into the wiki. If you have already posted your info in one of the threads or if you have seen some really good info in a thread that isn’t on the wiki post a link to the thread and ill get it into the wiki. Of course your all welcome to modify the wiki's yourselves .

For a list of mods we need more information on have a look at the wiki, which is located here, the table summarizes what info we still need.
