Re: fume'ing

The majority of this thread is way over my head, but assuming the 3.9L engine has no boost at idle, then by my clacs it would be consuming 1365L of air /minute (3.9L / 2 stroke x 700rpm). It also ignores volumetric efficiency issues at this rpm, but I'd say it would be negligible anyway. Either way...

Re: fume'ing

It doesn't matter what you did Bacon. Its wasn't a true scientific experiment, especially as the whole experiment hinged on correctly and acuratly measureing gas flow. As a result, the inacuracy this critical element of the experiment made the results inadmissable to this arguement. VVega has corre...

vvega is saying auto-ignition is impossible if you're below the lower flammability limit (i.e. too lean). The experiment I ran clearly shows it's possible and happening.

Re: fume'ing

Hang on.. so if you put fuel in a fire.. and the fuel burns.. the process is called autoignition? even though there is a flame involved? No, you need to heat until it lights without letting it touch a flame or spark. That is auto-ignition. If the flame gets it, then it's just normal flammable combu...

Re: fume'ing

Here an explanation that'll be right up vvegas alley. Tuning a petrol. Flood it with fuel (go past the upper flammable limit) and your spark can't ignite it. Run it too lean (below the lower flammable limit) and your spark can't ignite it. But take a can full of that lean petrol/air mix which is inf...

Re: fume'ing

you have to have a ignitable mixure to have a autoignition This is not true. Flammable and capable of auto-ignition are not the same thing.
