Question about machine that runs on the road.
sorry - could not resist, prob get nil replies and serves me right too . . .!
Being generally a nerd on fuel economy - I have an engine (which is attached to a car) and it is a diesel (I hate Diesels in aeroplanes as they tend to bancrupt operators . . .)
Back to the diesel engine then. I noticed that in the winter I get 10 miles to the quid or 125 miles on a tenner - and yet in the summer, the fuel consumption is considerably higher . . . ?
I checked for leaks and changed back to my old fuel supplier in case other fuels were less volatile. volotile, whatever, and yea, I am using more fuel in the summer.
How does that interest pprune . . ?
Just wondered if it could be air density helping the combustion along in the winter by being more dense but messing it up by being . . less dense in the winter?
(Moderators should be onto me within about five seconds, but at least it is technical - ( I bet it ends up in Jet Blast)
Edited edition = less dense in the (summer)
