Many of the fleets here in Canada I am seeing Hydrogen boosters with a injection system on the intake after the intercooler on the intake pipe. They say its getting them better MPG for the Volvo semis, not sure though.

If your driving 130kph/80mph why are you even checking or worried about MPG. I drive 60kms to work every day. I think the t...

Hmm, you think if I put sealant on the head studs like rtv red or even JB weld on the threads it might work? You think a guy could get it welded where the cracks are on the three holes I have, the cracks are soo small, I screwed one in by hand with a bit of oil on the threads and I could see where t...

That would have been something to see. People do terrible things in war. Many of them young boys on both sides told to kill anything that waves the other flag, they knew no better. North America joined the war much later as it seen some economic benifit. The germans did pretty good for one country s...
