My favorite kind of idiots too-the ones who'll just spout off anything that's told to them as if it's fact.
You know the type-the ones who'll tell you irregardless isn't a word. Which always amuses me.
I mean how do you know it's not a word? Did you check?
Oh look! It's in the dictionary....along with all the other
words.
These idiots will tell you not to let your fuel level get too low, or you'll suck the sludge at the bottom of the tank.
I'm not sure I've ever *seen* a fueling system that takes the fuel on the top first. Good thing they gave absolutely no thought whatsoever to what they were saying.
Now we have this.
http://jeremiahsviolins.com/grooves.htm Where someone is advocating removing cylinder heads....and cutting grooves into the combustion chamber to increase efficiency. This is not entirely out of whack-there are patents of this sort of thing, but really-he's doing no research. No controls, no data, just a butt dyno that's telling him that's he's seeing the results he wants to see. Real scientific, jerkoff. Sure, just...pull the cylinder head and cut some grooves in it! I'll do it on my lunch break.
From the site:
"The engine will idle smoothly to below 500 rpm, but is limited to 650 rpm by the ECM."
So wait...then how do you know it'll idle at 500 rpm?
"I can idle it while driving in 2nd gear below 500 rpm without it complaining too much."
Er...that's not idling. Also, it's not *good* for the engine to run that slowly under load.
I'm an engineer. I need to back up my data-I can prove the plane on a conveyor belt takes off. Hence when I say "It'll take off", it's because
it'll take off. I get annoyed with half the idiots with no background in anything remotely pertinent come around and try to explain to me how things work.
Sorry, no....the magnet on the fuel line will not help.
The little plastic air velocity doodad? Almost as useful as you, but at least one of those things was worth something at one point.
Acetone? Get an extra 50 MPG? Really? Does that mean you can drive further away from me? Because that's what I'd
like.
So, do me a huge favor. When you run across one of these idiots advocating their idiocy, please, just smack them in the head with a shovel. We don't need that shit to spread any further.
