About leaving ph, discovered that the hose transmitting fuel from my carburetor to the ....... was broken(broken not torn rubber pipe, you can imagine how old it must have been), so i had to drive it like that to the nearest kazeem to get a new hose.
Don't drive a beetle with a broken fuel line next time...park immediately and fix it.

Car TalkRe: Drifting And Stunts Done By A Nairalander In Bauchi (must Watch) by Denn(m): 6:19pm On Nov 10, 2015
That was not drifting.

A couple of J- turns maybe.

To drift properly, you need a manual drive RWD vehicle with ample HP to body-weight ratio....Autos and FWD could but not purely.

This is not the first time I would see someone hanging on the door during stunts from the north.... A flip and that guy will be cut torn into two

The bolded is the best thing you can do for yourself. If I happen to be in your shoes, that car won't go back with me to lagos. I will dispose off there in Zaria.
Lol.

Disposing a 'non-working' car in the middle of a journey amounts to a loss of value..

First, how much would the intending buyer pay....and oh.....how do you get a willing buyer....

Even good cars have been on hold for weeks in car lots waiting for willing buyers....except you want him to sell at around 100k

Those pot holes could have created a crack on your sump leading to oil seepage.

It also seems your oil indicator light/gauge ( called idiot light in some climes) was not working or you ignored it. A lowered oil pressure would have alerted you.

Try to check for "half-engine". Should not cost you more than 10k in extra costs.

Sorry pal

Those fluffy animals have a penchant for cutting wires or chewing at something.

It could also be an unplugged socket or vacuum line.

Car TalkRe: High Fuel Consumption... MPV 2001 by Denn(m): 12:45pm On Nov 04, 2015
mayor2013:
I strongly disagree, the "op" came to my workshop for a scan. The following where the problem of his car for high fuel consumption

1)Thermostat removed

2) Fans connected directly. The noise was so much even when compared to that of a trailer. A trailer would sound better. Over cooling of engine resulting to dumping more fuel in the combustion chamber

3) misfire detected on cylinder 5

4) engine coolant temperature sensor absent. Must have been removed by kazeems

5) intake manifold runner control bank1 stucked close. There is nothing what soever to monitor the amount of intake air. The design of the mazda mpv engine is such that only the map sensor and mass airflow cannot do the monitoring of intake air.

So therefore my conclusion is that all this would make his car consume excess.

Ps: black smoke already coming out of "op" exhaust as a result of all this
Apologies.

Op didn't state his car has been 'fully converted'

He stated the problem started recently as if ceteris paribus.

Also I didn't read that the N5000 fuel was for a to and fro journey....I skimmed only to....5000 from Lagos to ibadan couldn't have been burnt in an MPV even with thermo removed
Car TalkRe: High Fuel Consumption... MPV 2001 by Denn(m): 10:30am On Nov 04, 2015
Your fuel is leaking.

Not burning

If your car actually burns that volume on that journey, the carbon build up would have clogged the system.

Trace the leak.

Nairaland GeneralRe: Tiger-Battery Powered Stove Spotted In Aba by Denn(m): 11:24pm On Oct 31, 2015
Leopantro:
Of course not.
As has been explained earlier on, the batteries are not the heat source but regulate the blower.
The joule thief can produce 90v - 180v from a 1.5v and 1000v from 2 AA batteries but the current drops
So how would a dropped current produce enough energy to boil even new yam?
Nairaland GeneralRe: Tiger-Battery Powered Stove Spotted In Aba by Denn(m): 8:21pm On Oct 31, 2015
Leopantro:
Have you heard of a joule thief? You can use two AA batteries to power a CFL energy saving bulb for 3hrs. Have done it before. I also have some DC DC converters ; using a power bank of 5v output, I power a portable 12V TV.
Search YouTube and be enlightened.
Stop acting itk....

Read the attached screen shot and tell me how a change in voltage at the expense on current will cook stubborn beans with tiger battery


When you use your tekinologi to cook beans with a wristwatch battery, wake me up

Its d hot plat coil. Too much amala n palm oil with boiled tomatoes have affected ur eyes.
Eyaaaaa.

Despite all the funds spent on schooling you, you believe a couple of 1.5 volts battery connected whether in series or parallel will power a resistive coil with so much energy that a pot placed on it will boil water?

If I were your parent, I would ask for full refund with interest

How did you know that the light you saw under is coming from a charcoal? You didn't hear that it doesn't emit smoke?
So clean charcol emits visible smoke?

So where is the 'light' coming from? Nuclear reactors?
Nairaland GeneralRe: Tiger-Battery Powered Stove Spotted In Aba by Denn(m): 5:49pm On Oct 31, 2015
This is a motorised charcoal stove

The motorised blower fan pulls in air from the duct above the blower and pushes it to the ignited charcoal. The forced air provides more oxygen and the charcoal burns faster.

If you look at the pictures clearly, you would see the charcoal burning

Car TalkRe: Thermostats, Do we really need them :) by Denn(m): 9:44pm On Oct 28, 2015
Thermostat facts...

100% water cools an engine better than most coolant composition.

However, ordinary water does not possess any rust inhibiting property. Coolant also contains ingredients that lubricate the water pump.

An engine without a thermostat will not allow coolant to stay in the radiator to get cooled well enough; this implies that the engine temperature gets hotter and hotter till the vehicle overheats if in traffic. Conversely, the engine gets too cold during highway driving and encourages carbon build-up over time. This is in addition to the excessive fuel consumption.

Using a car without thermostat is akin to putting on an airconditioner and heater on at the same time...you burn more energy to get the required temperature...

Don't be afraid to ask if you could pay N50k

You could be surprised the owner might agree to a 70k or 100k

Cash in hand is better than all of Africa's budget combined.
