ME, meself and I...
I feel like I am there alone Anyone with any imput?
Anyway, today I injected more Butane ( as I don't have any propane nor the money to buy any).
First I thought it would help cold starting, not that I have any trouble at all but thought it might help. Well... It doesn't! The enging clatter like an old diesel Poor bugger...
Then I went for a drive and I am still not convince its worth the trouble, but at one stage, starting the car from a stop, flooring the pedal, the car in motion, then I open the butane and the bak wheels shrieked! This is something that had never ever happen in the 5 years I own an Eclass. The wheels slipt on starting OK, but once in motion in a strait line, no matter how hard you floor it, there is no more spinning. But it did this time.
Also it seems that I am coming forward a little faster? But again, this is not practical to have the bottle in a odd place and opening the valve while flooring it...
Another thing was that there was a bit of white smoke under heavy load and butane.
The car now also feel swiftier? I think the hotter gases cleaned the inside and this is why the car is more responsive even without the butane? My theory tho...
me meself and a blue bottle
