Get Good SUV Deals At Auctions

These vehicles are usually SUV’s that have been repossessed by banks because the previous owners may have defaulted on their car payments.

Technology in Tyres

Advances in Pneumatic Tyres

Pneumatic tyres are the industry standard for all consumer vehicles. Early rubber tyres were solid, however, ever since John Dunlop designed the first pneumatic tyre in 1888, the world embraced this form of tyre, in spite of the durability of solid rubber, they were downright uncomfortable.

In approximately 455 factories around the world over 1 billion tyres are produced every year containing the same basic ingredients; rubber, carbon black and various chemicals.

Tyres are constructed on a drum and cured in a press under heat and pressure. The heat creates a polymerization reaction that links the rubber monomers and creates long elastic molecules. This allows the tyres to compress where the rubber meets the road and … Read the rest

Water Powered SUV

6 SUVs that can nearly go 'swimming': Ford EcoSport to Toyota Fortuner

When we talk about using water on vehicle, most will think using it as a coolant in the radiator or as a wind screen cleaner. We usually do not associate water as a car fuel source. The science of water as fuel does not literally use water to power a car, in fact it uses the hydrogen gas (H2) in water. Hydrogen gas is in a compressed state in water and can be extracted through an electrolysis process. H2 can be used to power a SUV because it is clean, efficient and is three times more potent than fossil fuel. The challenge is to generate enough H2 and divert it into the engine air intake system so it can be … Read the rest

Fuel Pump and Injection Repairs

Electric fuel pumps will experience problems with wear after many years of continuous service. Gradual loss of pressure and flow can result from the wear on pump vanes, rollers or gears. If the inlet filter sock lets sediment or rust get by then you will also have accelerated wear. This can even cause serious problems such as overheat and burn out if the pump becomes jammed with the sediment. Lubrication and cooling of the fuel pump only occurs when fuel is passing through it.

If you start having problems with your fuel pump then the first thing you should do is check the voltage supply and the electrical connections. You may simply just need to replace a fuse or loose … Read the rest

SUV Rollovers

SUV (Sport Utility Vehicles) sales have sky-rocketed in the United States over the past few years. SUV’s accounted for 25 percent of all new-vehicle sales with over 22 million on the road.

New statistics show that more than 12,000 people died last year in rollover accidents with SUV’s accounting for 62 percent.

In the US, SUV sales are rising and so are the problems that come along with them. Because SUV’s have a higher center of gravity, they are the most unstable and rollover-prone vehicles on the road today. Many … Read the rest

Drive Manual vs Automatic Transmissions

Automatic Transmission Pros and Cons

In general, cars with automatic transmissions are easier to drive and preferred by some for this reason. Automatic’s still shift gears like a manual, but it is involuntary, so you do not have to focus on controlling several things yourself while driving. It can also be safer because you can keep both hands on the wheel. The automatic vehicle has a clutch, but the clutch pedal and torque converter separate the transmission from the engine automatically.

Some negative aspects to this kind of transmission is that it is not as fuel efficient. That torque converter and the hydraulic pump working together cause the car to lose power and lowers efficiency. These cars also take automatic … Read the rest
