Vauxhall have a concept car that uses a small petrol driven generator to charge the batteries.

The main motor is electric, the range wasnt bad at around 200miles*

I'm not sure if anyone is so interested, but I had the pump up and running last week, the timing was fine so no problems with it being 180 degrees out after all. I did take the pump top off and check I had fitted everything correctly. The pump seemed to run and idle correctly, but hasn't been road t...

If they have run hot then the heat treatment might have gone, hard to say from the photo's really

We use a similar product here called Lasol (or similar) which is designed th make the water mixable and thus able to be burnt.

There are several versions one for diesel and one for petrol.

As you can imagine you get more steam from the exhaust.
