goodmorning Fellro
I do only know the air system I.ve had on my truck. At first to Mr Blackcat I have to admit that I've made a mistake in my opinion; Indeed, the air, which was blown straight above the exhaust valves can NEVER reach the valves; the air pressure is to low... the fact here in the Netherlands is, when we have to go for the mandatory checkup every year, an air pump gives false readings when gauging the CO2. I've had a discussion with one of the guys who is allowed to give a letter of approval,(is that the same as your title?) That extra air makes a better CO2 , but he measures there's more oxygen as well what tells the computer that there's a leak!.... and that's not allowed. when I came for my first check up, they removed the hoses from the pump and blinded them off... They told me as well that the airpump is a useless thing here and that the air only dilutes what comes out the tailpipe (again, Mr Blackhat, you're right, with such high temperature just after the cat, oxygen and unburned parts will burn again!). when I dismantled the airpump, I saw, I was just on time... the bearings were heavy worn out, so I did thrown away the pump.
running on LPG.
Mr blackhat , when using LPG, the engine uses 10% more (not 30, sorry) fuel, that's a figure which all the LPGsystemsuppliers can tell... LPG is less bad for the environment (for example all the citybusses and municipal trucks and cars do run on natural gas). My truck does 1gallon to 11miles, what is a nice figure for a 5,8liter engine.
I would say Mr Blackhat, let's shake hands, and let us do where a forum is made for.... having the pleasure of learning from each other....
Best regards Ton van der Sluijs
