recently i just had a really scary situation ....... first i started noticing my fuel mileage went down a bit .... it was usually 7km/liter .... then this past month it started going down below 7 ...... i didn't notice anything out of the ordinary .... i thought it was perhaps due to the fact my scheduled engine oil/transmission oil change was up already ...... one day i ended up with almost an empty tank when i got home ... but the engine was still not "choking" (previous experience was pag malapit na talga empty mag c choke muna 2k rpm ) .....
the next day when i went out pag switch to lpg ayaw na .... as in parang empty na .... taka taka ako since i thought there'd still be a little bit left ..... anyway it was a sunday and off to the refilling station i went ..... buti na lang at habit kong buksan ang trunk to look at the guage .... habang nag fill up napansin ko nag c cloud ata mamaya konti shetttt ang lakas ng singaw .... nag d drip na liquid to my trunk's carpet !!!!! OMFG !!!! pinahinto ko agad filling ..... nde ko alam gagawin ko !!!! it took as a few minutes to figure out what to do as i didn't know pwede mo pala isara yung galing sa tanke .... there is a valve you can close by hand ( YOU SHOULD CHECK THAT IT IS NOT TOO TIGHT PARA ANYTIME PWEDE MO AGAD ISARA ... I THINK THIS IS NOT MEANT TO CLOSED OR OPENED TIGHTLY USING A TOOL LIKE PLIERS )
sunday pa naman so walang mag aayos .... it scared the **** out of me .... me mga 20 liters na nakarga na ....i think mga 1+ liter siguro sumingaw at nag drip onto the carpet.
it turns out to be a loose fitting behind the electrical blue thingy solenoid ba yun ? it opens/shuts the line going to the engine i think ...... siguro over time it caused the fitting to loosen since it's a mechanical movement that may cause vibrations. anyway problem solved.
My fuel mileage went way up again ..... i think i may actually get above 7km/liter .....
