Re: Fuel tank repair
That is the risk with sharp creases.

Re: 4x4 EV Diesel Electric
That’s a hummer portal box and some air shocks. I guess the clue was in the mention of inboard brakes.
If someone built that in their shed they’d be rightly proud of themselves. It doesn’t make the claims of the manufacturer any more credible.

Re: 4x4 EV Diesel Electric
There will never be one so it’s not relevant. If the actual product ever exists it will have a range of 6-700km, 400mm of ground clearance, and 250mm of suspension travel. That will be far less compelling.

Re: 4x4 EV Diesel Electric
Not to mention “everything was designed for light weight” but has 11.00r22.5 prime mover drive tyres on it that weigh at least 60Kg each.

Re: 4x4 EV Diesel Electric
The tl,dr version: this idea can't deliver enough power to the wheels to deliver on it's claimed performance parameters and can't carry enough fuel to meet it's range. Something has to give. Rant on: I actually just checked their website to see if they'd spotted the typo and fixed it to 700km of ran...

Re: 4x4 EV Diesel Electric
It’s not the £200k that’s the problem. The press release is just nonsensical. I don’t even know where to start. It’s diesel generator can produce 70kw, powered by an 800cc diesel triple. That 800cc motor must therefore produce over 90kw. Based on their own numbers, 7000km range would require 400 lit...

Re: drill sharpener options
I paid good money for a drill doctor a few years ago. $270?) In short, you get an OK result some of the time. It’s time consuming and the quality of the result is very influenced by user technique. I should pull it out again and have a play with it, but in general the result is nowhere near as good ...

Re: Fuel tank repair
Hit it with air first. Saving the tank you have has to be preferable to replacing it.
Air works very well.

Re: 4x4 EV Diesel Electric
This is a thought bubble. Those parameters aren’t even remotely possible.

Re: ECU reader
Unfortunately G13bb’s (or g series at all) don’t sense fuel pressure or really monitor the fuel side of the engine at all. The diagnostics are pretty basic and I don’t think I’d be buying a code reader to try and get more out of it. Putting the diagnostic plug into read mode to check for faults via ...
