Fuel and Engines
We commonly relate fuel and engines with gasoline. Other engines also run on natural gas such as propane and “bio-fuels” such as ethanol. The principle remains the same as the fuel induces internal combustion.

How do you change the fuel filter in a 2008 harley Davidson sporters?
To change the fuel filter on a 2007-up EFI Sporty you will need to remove the fuel tank. The less fuel there is in the tank, the easier it is to do this. Remove the seat, then uncouple the quick release fuel line connection by pulling down on the chrome ring where the fuel line enters the fuel tank; the fuel line should pop free. You might want to place an absorbant rag underneath to catch any fuel that spills. Next, Follow the electrical wiring from the bottom of the tank rearward where it meets a connection plug behind the engine against the frame downtube. Disconnect this coupling and free the wire harness from the bike. There is a vent tube built into the bottom of the tank; unplug the fuel tank vent line rubber connection there. Remove the front and rear fuel tank mounting bolts. Once the tank is off the bike, turn it over on a soft, non-scratch material or pad. On the bottom of the tank you will see an oval plastic fitting where the fuel line and wiring harness attaches. Remove the eight or so Torx head screws and carefully remove the fuel pump assemble from the tank. You kind of have to twist and turn the unit to get it free; go easy. The fuel filter resides inside the tall translucent plastic housing. There is a clip attaching the filter housing to the fuel pump assembly. You can use a screw driver or suitable tool to remove the clip. Watch out or it will take off on you! After the housing is free, the fuel filter can be removed by slowly rotating the housing to free it from the o-rings that secure it. Remove the filter and then it's off to the Hundred Dollar store! Cheers!

Can a Supercharger be put on a High Compression Engine?
You can put controlling heat is so much harder. Usually on a high compression engine you want to run less boost. You can also get away with running more boost if you go with higher octane gas. This will help control heat and fight detonation. Thank you,

What are the advantage and disadvantage of cng as an automobile fuel?
Advantages:
- Natural gas is significantly less expensive than gasoline. The cost of natural gas can go as low as $0.64 a GGE or Gasoline Gallon Equivalent. In some areas, natural gas costs as low as a third of the cost of gasoline, on average.
- CNG is more eco-friendly than gasoline. Natural gas produces far fewer harmful emissions and hydrocarbons than gasoline.
- Using CNG makes the engine cleaner and more efficient. Unlike gasoline, CNG does not produce harmful carbon deposits when combusted. This results to a cleaner and more efficient engine as well as longer lasting spark plugs and catalytic converters. Oil changes are also minimized because of carbon deposits that contaminate the oil is eliminated.
- CNG is abundant in the US. The country has extensive natural gas resources and a well-established network of pipelines. Switching to CNG can help ease the country's dependence to foreign oil whose price continue to fluctuate.
- CNG makes the engine run quieter. Because of the higher octane levels of natural gas, the engine runs quieter resulting to minimized engine nose.
Disadvantages:
- CNG tanks require storage space. If you convert to CNG, you may need to sacrifice some of the space in the trunk (for cars), truck bed (for pickup trucks) or behind the back seat (for SUVs). The CNG cylinder is also heavy but the added weight of the tank is offset by the reduced weight of a gasoline fuel tank that is near empty.
- CNG Filling stations have limited availability. Some areas in the US still have few filling stations and some places have none at all. CNG conversion is most practical and convenient for people living in areas with easy access to CNG filling stations.

What can cause a 2004 Sebring LX to hesitate after you put gas in a tank that was low?
Clogged fuel pump or air on fuel lines. Residue from the tank might clog the fuel intakes. Changing the fuel filter might help. But before spending for a fuel filter, try using a fuel injector cleaner for about $5. In my case, before the fuel injector cleaner, the car would take 2 or 3 turns of the ignition key to start. And it also cured a slight hesitation problem. 30,000 miles after first having this problem on my 1998 Sebring LX, 4 treatments have cured the problem 4 times.

What does an electronic overdrive do?
All overdrives are the same. There is no such thing as manual and electronic overdrives. Overdrive is used for Cruising Speed (usually anywhere above 45mph). Its also better on your transmission to have it in overdrive mode at high speeds. The effects of it are simple. It basically lowers your RPM's and still maintains the same, if not faster, speed that Drive can achieve.
What might leak diesel on top of 7.3 ford diesel?
The fuel filter is on the very top center of the motor, under a plastic cover. It has a drain valve that is used in filter replacement. The valve might have been bumped slightly to the drain position or the valve seal might be bad.
No, but lowering it will make for slightly more room to work thuse saving you from scratches on your hands. Gloves might also save you from such scratches.
