Hi members
Having little knowledge and commenting on a topic like this is not helping anyone. It is not very professional if one cannot justify the depth.
Sylvi's comments are good. Seems he knows the subject well. Answer to his question on the alternator: How do you know whether the gas conversion does not add more load on fuel burn - Yes we have to do an AMP load test while the engine is on idle with all electronics on full blow. Majority of the engines with over 1300CC pass this because the idle is set at an overburn position to maintain a certain balance. Most alternators are also very efficient and there is a constant oversupply even at idle, which gets grounded if it is not used. On engines that come without the step up motor, this test will fail if there is not enough amps. If it is a 3 wheeler - I expect problems such as the battery dying over time.
I do not want to comment about these paper articles because it has run into some controversy already. Certainly, what I have explained here will not stop the need to have petrol or diesel. I am not talking about a system that runs for miles with only water. Did I mention it anywhere? Chill out here before jumping. I did this on my own 1Kz Prado and shared results because I am an enthusiast and I like others to benefit if they WISH.
Most of my posts go on Toyota, Lexus and Mercedes forums but I thought Sri Lankans can benefit if some reach Auto Lanka. Forums are places for members to post educative topics. I am not a guy who will post "I fixed a blue pair of LED park lights - Have a look, very nice" type of posts. Those who want to take topics further can take their own cause of action. My next topic was about making bio diesel at home. Reading some feedback on this post made me wonder whether it is worth doing it.
