What are fuel metering rods in cars?
You must be talking about a CARBURETOR. They are called metering rods. They control how much fuel flows through the jets in the carburetor as you push the gas pedal. They can make a engine run lean or rich, by changing the air/fuel ratio.
Is the fuel pump rod in a 454 the same as in the 350?
Small block and big block fuel pumps and fuel pump rods are the same on all Chevy V8's up to the mid 1980's when fuel injection and new block designs started on the market. Please note that this does not include special cam motors (roller cams, etc) that do take a different (special) rod.
Changed out Fuel pump on 91 dodge stealth because car wont start from running it on empty. Have fuel pressure in fuel rods now but still nothing What can it be Firing?
check your fuel filter it might be clogged for letting it run empty. bottom of the tank is the dirtiest where all loose particles are. (had a similar problem with my 92... It was the ecm... If your not getting spark but have fuel pressure than i would pull it out and open it up... The capacitors go bad... Gives it a fishy smell...
Can you run stock push rods with roller rockers?
It's not really about what rockers you run. If you have guide plates, you need hardened push rods.
Where can you find push rods for a 1973 dodge dart swinger 318V8?
Any good parts store should be able to get the push rods for you and if they can't try Manciniracing.com.
Are nuclear spent fuel rods dumped in the ocean?
No, they are stored in pools of water.
Why is spent fuel rods stored in a pool of water?
Spent nuclear fuel is radioactive, and it generates heat for a considerable period following removal from the reactor core. Storage in a pool of water keeps it cool.
What problems are there for transporting used fuel rods?
Used fuel rods need to be safely transported in order to prevent the release of radioactive material into the environment accidentally, and protected from vandalism or terrorists who may want to use it. Spent fuel must be stored in a place that is safe for people and secure from tampering.
Why are spent fuel rods a concern?
Because thats just the way it is!
How are spent fuel rods dangerous to humans?
it is a poison to humans. it is the smell that it is.
What are some cautions of nuclear power?
Reactor fuels contain dangerous radioactive fission products after use, so the spent fuel rods must be carefully handled and stored.
Where does the US Store used nuclear rods?
Right now, the US stores spent fuel rods in spent fuel pools near the reactor, or in specially made storage vaults at each facility. We are working on facilities to store spent fuel, such as Yucca Mountain, but at this point, that is embroiled in controversy.
What does it mean to spend fuel?
Do you mean spent fuel? This term is used to describe fuel rods that have insufficient energy left.
Where are most of the nuclear waste and spent fuel rods currently?
Spent fuel from a reactor is stored under water in a concrete and steel pool to cool and shield it for at least ten years after it is removed from the reactor. After this time, it has decayed sufficiently and heat production is low enough such that it can be removed from the water and decay in the air. It is still shielded to prevent exposing people near it and it is kept under lock and key at the power plant or storage facility to maintain control.
Why are spent fuel rods removed from a reactor core?
During fission, the amount of fissionable isotope in each fuel rod decreases. Eventually there is no longer enough fuel in the rods to ensure that the output of the power station remains constant. The isotope-depleted, or spent, fuel rods must be removed and replaced with new fuel rods.Spent fuel rods are classified as high-level nuclear waste. They contain a mixture of highly radioactive isotopes, including both the fission products and what remains of the nuclear fuel.Some of these fission products have very short half-lives, on the order of fractions of seconds. Others have half-lives of hundreds or thousands of years. All nuclear power plants have holding tanks, or "swimming pools," for spent fuel rods.
How could nuclear waste be disposed of?
No, it is just stored, actually contained in the spent fuel rods unless these are processed to separate out any useful material like plutonium. Most of the fuel rods discharged from US reactors are stored on the power plant sites in water filled tanks, but eventually some national repository will have to be built to retain this material safely for centuries to come.
How are nuclear wastes now being stored?
In the US they are stored in the complete spent fuel rods which are stored on power plant sites in water filled tanks. In some places dry storage has also had to be used, because the water tanks are full. In the UK and in France they are stored on site for a while and then taken to a central processing site (Sellafield in the UK)
