Dreams and dropshippers

You dream in bed. However? Because where else would you find a great 2CV Sahara for €7.500? Well, on the internet, that is. And somewhere there is probably some fool who has already transferred that amount with the promise of the seller of the mega-duck that the car would be delivered to his home free of charge. NOT! The last Sahara we saw was put on the market with “Bidding from € 120.000”. That is just as strange an amount, but it comes closer to the madness currently called 'The Market'.

gasoline, E10, danger

Confused with E10

But also when it comes to combustion, the use of E10 in carburetor engines creates an additional problem. The fuel properties are in fact considerably affected by 10% admixture of ethanol, because ethanol has a lower combustion value than gasoline. This means that more ethanol is needed to achieve maximum combustion with a certain amount of intake air. So you actually need larger nozzles for carb engines.

Again: The threat of E10

Super E10 in summary • is corrosive to the tank but also to gaskets, tank seals and tin connections (solder connections), yellow and red copper. These materials are common in old gasoline tanks before and after restoration. Aluminum is also not safe. • the combustion characteristics are different, which means that not every engine will run smoothly. • You drive less far. The ethanol in gasoline also affects other materials: tin alloys (solder connections), yellow and red copper, aluminum, plastics and many old tank sealers (tank coatings). .

the risk of Internet information

Internet as a source of wisdom?

All respect for all correct information on the Internet. But the same Internet has become a kind of sanctuary where all kinds of self-proclaimed gurus can express their opinions with impunity. We find that phenomenon, by the way, full of spelling mistakes and trendy shortcuts, especially on youngtimer forums. From my own experience, the Internet may be a good indicator. But
