As a 62 year old vintage car mechanic, I can tell you for a fact that carburetors work FAR better than EFI. They are a lot more precise, they are simple and easy to work on when they need to be worked on, which is not very often. They use a simple mechanical fuel pump bolted to the engine and usually driven off the camshaft. There is no need for complex, complicated and EXPENSIVE electronics. They are easy to tune. They are inexpensive to replace if necessary, unlike EFI parts. They literally last forever with the exception of certain wear parts, like the float needle valve and accelerator pump diaphragm.
Direct injection is much worse than even port injection, and results in engines getting all carboned up in a very short time, something port injection, throttle body injection, and of course, carburetors don't cause. Direct injection is a bad concept, and should be avoided. It seriously shortens the life of an engine.
I drive carbureted cars almost exclusively, since those are what I specialize in. I do have a 2006 Ford Crown Vic transportation car. I carry a 1 1/2 gallon gas can in the trunk of that car. I fill it up, then fill up the car. When the pump shuts off, I use the gas in the gas can to top it off. I can usually get an extra gallon in the tank after the pump shuts off. That's an extra 30 miles on the highway. When I fill up a gas tank, I want it FULL.
The good stuff starts at 6:00
Great video as usual from you. Is there any way we can see where the evap canister is connected to tank neck so we can fill the most amount of gas possible? I would like to know if a hybrid engine wears faster than a normal engine because it starts up many more times than a normal engine. Keep up the good work.
Overfilling caused my check engine light to stay on and now my remote start is disabled.
Another reason not to let your fuel get below 1/4 is for condensation. Especially in Humid environments like we have here along the Gulf Coast.
Groovy!
Great info- thank you, Scotty!
The only place I've ever seem those recovery pumps is in the People's Republic of Kalifornicate.
My car started bucking, died in the middle of 3 lane road, got it towed home, codes P0301-04 & P0001 popped. Aren't old cars fun!
Only horror we have in the UK when fueling up is the price. In dollars is around 9 dollars a gallon. Another great video thank you sir.
