Why does braking use petrol?
It doesn't. The engine uses petrol any time it is running, but not more when braking.
What speeds do you down shift on motorcycles?
Depends on the bike and it's gearing. At around 30mph, i will downshift from 4th to 3rd for engine braking. At around 18mph, I will downshift from 3rd to second for engine braking. I will not engine brake into first gear.
Can a Chevy 350 marine engine be used in a Chevy car or truck?
No, it would not be able to handle engine braking.
Why does 2012 Ford engine rev up after braking after complete engine warm up?
how can I get the lowest price on a new car
Does the use of brakes on a long steep downgrade is only a supplement to the braking effect of the engine?
yes
What causes steering wheel vibration on braking with AC on?
Your AC should have NOTHING to do with your barking system, as it is not tied into the vacuum of the engine. If your wheel shakes under braking, then you need to replace your rotors and pads.
Why diesel engine does not take intake vacuum manifold as a source of braking?
diesel's dont produce enough
Can humans feel radioactivity?
Not actual radiation, but you feel the effects
Why does the Honda c70 brake when you downshift?
Don't downshift at 30mph like an @sshole. Get down to 10mph before you get into 2nd, 5 before you get into 1st. I just hope you realize that's engine braking (not shoe/wheel braking), so you're just building up stress on your engine.
When going down a steep hill should you use the engine or brakes?
Nether what you should do is just take your foot off the gas and let it roll down the hill to its destination.My answer:When going downhill it may be necessary to slow down to maintain steering control. Using brakes only on a long steep decline can cause the brakes to heat up and fail. Any gasoline engine or a diesel engine equipped with a "Jake Brake" can provide additional braking without heating the brakes. With many automatic transmissions it is necessary to manually select a low gear. Manual transmission drivers will do this automatically. With 2WD vehicles there are additional considerations when using engine to brake in slick conditions:Regardless of front or rear drive, it is usually best to cease engine braking before entering a curve. The regular brake and especially ABS will distribute braking more equally and are less likely to cause understeer than FWD engine braking or oversteer compared to RWD engine braking.
What lowers mpg in a vehicle?
Accelerating and braking abruptly, an out-of-tune engine, under-inflated tires, to name a few.
Why does 2012 Ford engine rev up after braking?
My guess would be that the vehicle has a bad power brake booster.
