I don't understand the thought of having something done, at an expense, just to save one or two hundred in gas costs, if that's even possible! Why do U even...
The "having something done" is to get the van to work AS IT SHOULD. Since I have owned it it has gotten terrible mileage. --Last weekend it went thru 3/4 of a...
I agree with you Bob, the Diesel F-250 is probablly your best change to maximize your fuel economy. Too bad it can't be ready in time. Be safe, have a...
Hello.... Thinking about the 3/4 of a tank @ 81 miles...(OUCH OUCH) Fast n dirty... IF IT WERE ME....Disconnect the fuel/gas line before the engine fuel pump...

Nope. The 5,000 year old Mayan calendar comes to an end on December 12, 2012. Some folks didn't read the directions, which say, " find someone else to carve...
I agree. OUCH. Most engines can't burn that much fuel without flooding out and stalling. You got to have a leak somewhere. I had a 90 Plymouth voyager that...

Bob, Years ago I was going up the I-70 hill outside Denver towards Eisnehower pass. As it got steeper the engine started missing more and more. I had to...
No choke on a fuel injected engine, though, and I thought the vehicle in question was FI. ________________________________ From: JerryK <regal5575@...> ...
Most (all?) fuel injected engines do have an "enrichment circuit" for cold starts. If it doesn't work at all, the engine can be really hard to get going when...
... Don That is what the little hole is in the FP casting is for. In case of a leak it is suppose to run out of the hole. I have seen people plug the hole,...
Yes, guys the engine is fuel injected. The F.I. enrichment system (choke?) is what I consider a very likely culprit for SOME of the problem.. At start up, the...
