(probably trans fluid leak on exh). The truck is gutted by fire. The
hood was down the whole time. All non-netal parts are gone. Engine paint

increased ethanol in gas - ? by
[email protected]
Hi all,
I just caught part of a news item on television that seemed to say that
congress was considering a suggestion that All gasoline would be
required to be an ethanol blend at fairly high ethanol content.

NEED HELP with 1990 Lincoln Towncar [signature series] by
Lefty
You didn't get your injectors cleaned thru the vacuum hose on the brake
booster, you got your engine de-carbonized. Injectors are cleaned by
removing them from the engine or by connecting a pressure canister or a
cleaning machine with a pump to your car's fuel system and running a
cleaning solution...

increasing the octane of my gasoline with ethanol by
shakiro
Very often I drive with my motor bike only in areas where
only gasoline with octane rating of 95 is available.
They call that onealready 'super plus extreme',

out...

Hello folks,
This van backfires out the intake (once) under moderate to heavy load. It
also misses at idle during cold operation. The miss disappears as it warms
up. The backfire remains.

idle quality but didn't cure...
