My 2003 CRV still consumes fuel crazily even after changing the catalytic converter.

Pls what is the solution? Gazzuzz, Gazzuz

Good post!
So from the writeup can we conclude that catalytic converter has nothing to do with fuel efficiency/economy...

Haba even in broad daylight

HottieCoach:


Fuel consumption is is not really directly affected. It's mostly psychological

But you now Rho7-dium and Pall-a-dium just by their names are killers of Carbon atomic number 6 and since we are carbon beings i suspect these things are also stolen to make poisonous substance to kill humans or rodents. these are radioactive carbon being killers just from the etymology of the names.

atomic number of pall-a-dium is 46 which tells me it is a generator. and so it is a generator of death in carbon beings and if ths stuff is stolen from your car in the west its because someone wants to poison someone but doesnt want to buy poison fromthe store because they have CCTV everywhere and you will be fished out if you bought poison from a store.

atomic number of Rho 7-dium is 45 which tells me it can end your life pata pata . potent poison

both of these elements can be used to induce cancer in people

Hello everyone, we have a chemist in the house.

Na Una the make us fail chemistry that year

For how much?

unclemaths:
Word on the street says it is called the indomie . It is quite expensive.
My tip: stay with your Mechanic /Panel beater when getting your car fixed. Also, know how your car sounds.

Nigerians are mumu ICE car is a total waste of money zero efficiency compare to electric car go green and stop polluting the world 60 percent of your gasoline is been wasted as smoke in combustion

Electric car offer the best efficiency and zero maintenance only tires

IN ELECTRIC CAR NO CATALYST CONVERTER NO POLLUTION
NO POLLUTION NO CATALYST CONVERTER SIMPLE

Asides the pollution it causes to the atmosphere, does it also affect fuel consumption?

I heard if removed from a vehicle, fuel economy gets reduced.. How true is this?

meobizy:
Rubbish. The only reason why this is front page today is because the act is trending in developed nations. It will take about three years before our criminals catch up.

HottieCoach:
A catalytic converter is a device incorporated in the exhaust system of a motor vehicle, containing a catalyst for converting pollutant gases into less harmful ones.

This device had been available in vehicles since the 1970's

The catalyst's job is to speed up the removal of pollution. The catalyst is made from platinum or a similar, platinum-like metal such as palladium or rhodium. A catalytic converter is a large metal box, bolted to the underside of your car, that has two pipes coming out of it.

The catalytic converter is very valuable because of the precious metals that are included in the converter, such as platinum, or platinum-like material such as palladium or rhodium. So, the more expensive the material, the more expensive it is to replace.

Due to the fall of the naira and a rise in the cost of precious metals like platinum and palladium, the contents of the catalytic converter is highly sort after. The parts have become an unusual windfall for thieves, who can make hundreds of naira from selling them to auto parts suppliers or scrapyards. Catalytic converters can be melted and the highly valuable metals, like palladium and rhodium, extracted.

At present a typical 2003-2018 Toyota Corolla catalytic converter (its content) can fetch between ₦100,000 -150,000.

How to prevent catalytic converter theft.

1 Do not leave your vehicle unattended with your roadside technician.

2. If you do, tell him bluntly that you have your catalytic converter intact and it should not go missing .

3. If for any reason you have catalytic converter failure and it has to be unblocked , collect all the contents, tie it up in a bag and contact me I'll show you where to sell it for good money

Na so dem comot my catalytic converter. My benz hasn't returned to its former self since then.

I understand that they help in economizing fuel consumption.

Stakekay1:
After long term protection of my catalyst, the stupid mechanic still find way of removing my catalyst. First, he told me the catalyst is damaged and it's blocking my exhaust that's why I was having low economy, in a bid to improve my fuel economy, I agreed he get it removed, he did in collaboration with a panel beater, I trusted the idiot, left my car with him, went back to work, lo and behold my catalyst has been removed. When I demanded for the waste I was shown something like dark soil, I felt it was bad and didn't touch it, I later got to know that the one they remove is as high as 100k. I was mad when I heard this, went straight to the mechanic to retrieve the small quantity that he claimed was left, I was shocked when that quantity was bought 25k from me, in annoyance with myself how I got scammed, I sold my car so as not to be reminded by the bad incidence.

That wrong

Catalytic converters make sure reactive exhaust gases (particularly CO) get completely burned before being sent out the tailpipe. Anything in the exhaust path causes resistance, and thus requires a bit of energy to push the gases through — which is also true of your muffler. This energy has to come from somewhere, and it comes from the pumping action of the piston on the exhaust stroke. The piston, in turn, is powered by the air-fuel mixture, so making the piston do more work means the engine consumes more fuel, not less.

valves:
Most catalytic converters are stolen at the port before they even get to the buyers. My friend had a similar experience.

I was told that once it is removed from a car, fuel consumption goes up. I don't know the correlation though...

AlhajiBitcoin:


If mechanic do you bad thing eh, you will know they are worse than snakes.

Mechanic also made me sell my car for something I would have fixed with N10k, he extorted me over N100k and still didn't fix it.
